I use Redshift right now and I would LOVE to have something nice and flexible like that. Come to think of it, some halfway reliable documentation would be nice too.
Somehow ctrl+f failed to find this one, but Path of Exile is probably my drug of choice there. While I raked in 1k hrs with Dota2, I'm not sure I"d recommend it unless you really want to sell your soul to MOBA life. And it's not quite to 1k yet, but honorable mention must go to Satisfactory as it's well on its way to being game #3 in the 1k+ list with me.
If I may recommend it, give Symfonium a try for an app front end. It's actually stellar. I tried Finamp with the same and wasn't as jazzed
That's cool as hell to hear. The cynic in me is a bit ignorant of Swiss law and corporate behavior therein but is sure that at some point some douchebag will figure out a way to weasel out of it or push it in the direction of enshittification all over again, but it's cool to see them make this move none the less.
On top of this, I doubt many of the Steam Deck's current competitors could have sold at a loss like Valve did (IIRC, they sold at a loss or at least pretty close to it). Microsoft, however, definitely has the spare money as a larger corp if they decided to really back the XBox/Gaming division. Price-wise, they could compete. If they're in the same pricing ballpark, manage a reasonable quality handheld, and can promise perfect windows compatibility with games, that might be something.
Dude, I just started getting into BAR and, while a complete noob with a strong nostalgia for TA, I can't even begin to imagine playing it on the Steam Deck. Not that I'm naysaying here, I'm just more in a kind of "I want to believe" state since it's pretty much becoming one of my all time favorites.
All that said, brilliant write up! Share some of your control details for BAR too if you have a chance!
I use it, mostly because I wanted to build an analogue to Google Drive/Photos, though it took some work to get it to a point where it felt good. Since the default Photos app feels pretty garbage to me, I installed the Memories app (same thing but better, very like Google photos) as well as Preview Generator & Recognize.
These seem to do the trick. The automated tagging isn't without its issues (pretty janky, frankly), but I'm pretty content with it to the point where I'm not looking to change in a hurry. Haven't tried Immich, though it looks pretty enough like I'd probably just go with it since it does the one task it's supposed to do, but again, I'm comfy and don't feel the need to find a new home for my photos yet.
Big issue for musicians. Many of us have instruments that are just small enough to be carry-ons but just large enough to be a bit unwieldy compared to other carry-ons, so nabbing primo carry-on storage is a must.
Loads of data sciency stuff - one monitor for normal text editing/terminal work, another for accessing remote environments, and a third for a combo of work comms and music.
When not sciencing, I won't lie, there's a lot of Path of Exile with PoB on one screen and a podcast on the third.
It's some backlog for me, but also some just solid as hell live services that have been around a while:
- Path of Exile
- The Messenger
- Warframe
- Yakuza 0
- Sea of Thieves
- Into the Breach
SoT and The Messenger both turned 6 just this year, so they're squeaking by, but I suppose the thrust of the idea is still there

I'd provide a plug for LMS! If you don't give much of a damn for music video type stuff, it's pretty solid and exposes more metadata through the Subsonic API than Navidrome does. My use case required Composer tags in addition to the usual smorgasbord. Bonus is that it combines SUPER well with Symfonium and is compatible with Audiomuse AI.
All that said, I would switch over to Jellyfin for music if they upped their music metadata game and made genre exploration a bit easier (assuming you have hundreds of distinct genre tags like I do).
