Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?

Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.

Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?

Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I'm more of a mouse or gyro control guy.

Trackpad rules in strategy games though.

If you like 3D platformers, you will love Psychonauts 2. One of the best in recent years.

Psychonauts 1 aged poorly by modern standards. It is worth playing for the story though or if you can power through some 2000s 3D platformer jank.

Hey, I also picked up the Cyberpunk DLC.

Pacific Drive was pretty good!

I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?

You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.

does that require tilting the device?

Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.

For the more popular games there's usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.

It's a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters.

Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.

FYI, it's 35€ on green man gaming right now.

I finally bought Nine Sols.

Played through it on my Linux PC, worked flawlessly. Fantastic game!

My tip is to play the game until you find it fun, while developing it.

That's a good tip, if your testing sessions get longer and longer because playing the game is fun you're on the right track.

I never used gamescope on Xorg, so not sure.

Lots easier now with far fewer cables to be run, cases offer more space behind the mobo for hiding cables and not the 3/4” of space they used to offer.

That's why I only use cube cases nowadays. Just shove all cables into the back and you're done.

btrfs has been the default file system for Fedora Workstation since Fedora 33 so not much reason to not use it.
