I have officially kicked Microsoft out of my world. I’ve hopped between Linux distributions for some time now, even running Arch on my laptop for a while (and had super strange network issues… so strange that I couldn’t see or connect to any Wi-Fi when I was at my parents’ house. At home, it just worked. Same router brand. Until today, I had no clue what happened there). As said, I used Arch, Ubuntu, some weird otaku thingy more as a gag, and at least I landed on CachyOS with KDE...

I bought Selaco. I mean, you have read me writing about it before. I am happ ythat it is finally available (even though it is still Early Access, and that means for me normally to not push it to much). I had played the demo some time ago, and hope that i can dive into the whole game at the coming weekend. But i have seen a Youtube Video from a Creator i normally trust, and that seems to be overwhelmingly positive. Might have some more to say about that at the end of the month.

A few more months into this project, and I've made some significant progress. Currently, I'm managing four Windows VMs and eight Linux distros.

I've now upgraded to a Core i5-7500T, a cost-effective yet worthwhile choice, albeit secondhand given that these components are long EOL (End of Life).

My Steam Deck, the smallest version from the second wave, has exceeded my expectations. While some may have opted for higher-tier versions, I found the standard specs, which include a smal SSD options and a reflective screen, perfectly suited my gaming needs. Whether I'm playing on the couch or in bed, the 400GB Samsung SD card I added provides ample storage for my games. In fact, even 256GB would have sufficed.

Die Welt der Shuttle PCs hat mich schon immer fasziniert. Die kleinen Kisten standen für überdurchschnittliche Leistung in kleinem Format, lange bevor der ITX Trend aufkam. Mal davon abgesehen dass ich den Trend dazu nie gesehen oder verstanden habe. Aber Shuttle Computer haben mich dann doch fasziniert. Und besonders die eine Special Edition mit Lara darauf. Angle of Darkness war ein, milde ausgedrückt, Miserables Spiel. Das im übrigen eine DVD Video Veröffentlichung hatte, aber das ist...
