It runs great for me. Highest settings on my PC run smoothly (I tested on Linux Mint and Windows 11) and I‘m even getting 40-60 fps on my Steam Deck with adaptable resolution enabled.

Kagi is very very nice but at $10 a month it is too expensive for my uses. DuckDuckGo is my alternative when my Kagi subscription of one month runs out.

Elden Ring with the seamless COOP mod has been very fun for my two friends and me. The experience isn’t 100% perfect (some bugs) but exploring the Lands Between with buddies and fighting the bosses together has easily been in my top 3 COOP experiences up until now.

If you have problems starting the EA laucher (a blank EA launcher colored screen and crashing back to the desktop / your library) this is your fix:

If the game itself doesn’t start, I don’t know how to help, sorry.

Edit: Let the program do its thing before you do anything else. Some steps require some time to be finished.

May I ask why? I would be scared 24/7 to break my phone with my fingernails or something because the screens are so fragile.

It should be really telling that you can’t find anything positive about cigarettes online, even when you specifically search for positive aspects.

They cause cancer and you smell disgusting after smoking them. Just listen to your girlfriend on this.

Yeah but it usually was a „support the dev“ thing.

For example, Apollo (RIP) had an okay icon to begin with, you could choose from a few free ones and if you really liked the app or a specific icon, you could buy it.

They didn’t intentionally make their standard icon shitty to bully you into paying for a decent one

The refresh rate is the amount of frames your display can show per second. The unit for this is Hertz (hz). This is 60hz on the Steam Deck. This is an engineering thing and there isn’t too much you can do to change this.

The framerate is the amount of frames your graphics card produces per second. The „unit“ her is often fps (frames per second).

You cannot exceed the 60hz limit of the Steam Deck‘s screen since it is a hard limit, you would need to build a new screen into the Deck. So optimally you want your GPU to produce 60 fps or more to use the display to its full extend.

Smoothness is a little harder. You can have a game with 60fps on a 60hz screen that still feels choppy because the timings are misaligned. Imagine your GPU produces 59 frames in half a second and then only 1 in the other half. Your screen would freeze for almost half a second because there is no new frame arriving at the display for half a second. Here you have to look at your frame times. They should be as consistent as possible.

So to sum up: refresh rate = times your monitor can show something new (hard limit)

fps = frames your GPU can produce per second (you can change that via the settings of a game)

frame times = the time a frame „waits“ on your screen. (The shorter and the more consistent, the better)

Sometimes lower fps seem more fluid than higher fps because the fewer frames are arriving more „punctual“.

I can vouch for the iPad + Apple Pencil + GoodNotes combo. I‘m using this multiple hours a day for university. The iPad also would be the most versatile device for watching a movie, playing a game etc.

You can also get other tablets but in my experience the writing experience isn’t as good as the iPad.

If you want to do mostly reading, an e-ink display will be nicer on the eyes, but you loose general functionality.
