One of the cool features of steam is that it can download games from other steam clients on the same network. In my case, I have a laptop and a steam deck. As a quick hint, the setting is in the Settings » Downloads section of the Steam Client.

Most probably have heard by now that the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS got announced. Looking at the reactions, I can see two fractions: This is the year of the Linux Desktop It’s not that big of a deal. It’s easy to install Linux. I wanted to address both of those.

Yes, I am now one of THEM. As stated in my last post, I got a new laptop last year. I wanted to go with Debian, but because the hardware is very new, I had to go with something more … current. My old laptop ran Manjaro, and I was quite happy with it. However, I wanted to go with a base distribution. Nothing that uses another distribution as it’s base.

I got a new Alienware M16 laptop. One thing that I had done on my old laptop was, that I had it automatically lower the CPU frequency when I closed the lid on my laptop. I don’t want it to go to sleep but also don’t need it to run full blast. Yes, the CPU governor should lower the frequency on it’s own, but this way I just force it to the lowest frequency.
