Yeah but I don’t need so much speed as long as it’s faster than the 0.5 MB/s I’m getting for now.

It works for everything I do and is cheap and reliable.

That’s what I’ve done for now, but I’d prefer avoiding the days of emule downloads where you needed 2 days to get an illegal copy of a 30 MB mzsic album😅

It was a really enjoyable video and it’s the first time I see any video of the creator of a project I love. I also enjoy LTT videos even if people on Lemmy dislike him. I like the fact that he’s trying to have another platform than youtube, even if it ain’t the one I support (Peertube).

Well I’ve contacted GOG’s support and we’ll see what they say. If it’s still like this in a week or two, I’ll just never order games again on GOG despite wanting to support them and really own my games.

Around 0.5 MB/s through heroic and 250 kb/s thrrough Firefox from the GOG website.

But my connection is way faster with everything else…

Well downloading on my desktop PC gives me the same slow speeds so it doesn’t help.

Especially because weirdly, turning off the computer meant starting at 0% again.

Well I have only rebooted the Deck, but it also happens on my Linux pc’s.

And downloading Playstation games, Steam games, watching Peertube, watching Nba league pass, watching youtube or listening to music on Tidal works fine.

Directly from GOG or through Heroic, I got these really slow download speeds, so it’s an isolated case.

Edit: after a network test, here’s what I’m getting

I enjoyed Resident Evil as a teenager, then came number 4 which I played, but didn’t enjoy.

I played number 5 with a friend as it was one of the few coop games available but I didn’t like it.

When number 7 came out, everyone praised it. I hated it and decided that Resident Evil really wasn’t for me anymore despite loving number 1, 0 and Code Veronica.

To be honest, while he would be annoying if I watched 10 of his videos in a row, I don’t understand why hés so hated on Lemmy.

I’m not an advanced user, bit the fact that retrodeck was a Flatpak I could easily install on my Steam Deck without installing Deckyloader was a big plus.

Well I’m sometimes feeling like I wouldn’t be happy if Linux became the norm, as it would kind of robb me of my rebellion.

Still I’m really invested into Linux, so it ain’t just a rebellion, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants Linux to stay under the 20% marketshare.

I also want to add that dual-booting can be a really good first step and shouldn’t be looked at with disdain.

You saved me by talking about the drive not auto mounting after updates.

It turns out my problem this time was different than the last time as it was just the disk not auto mounting.

In the end, restarting my Steam Deck was enough. What an easy to solve and stupid problem!

Yeah you’re right about it being portable first.

I sold our Switch to justify getting it on top of my Playstation and my PC’s, so I’m not really using it thé right way as it spends a good amount of time hooked to a big screen.

Yeah let’s hope the Steam Machine is gonna bring more stability when it comes to external hard drives.

I know and that’s what’s frustrating.

I’d just want to be able to redirect the Deck towards it or copy it on another hard drive to see if the problem is hardware related.

Well I wrote the message in anger after discovering that my games had disappeared again, so I haven’t spent much time investigating😅

Last time, in « storage » in Steam OS the hard drive would still appear, the space occupied by the games would still appear, but the games were nowhere to be found.

In desktop mode, I’d easily find them, but there was no way to show Steam OS the path to these games again.

I’ve tried many workarounds found on the web, but none worked.

I ended up reinstalling my whole library. But now it’s the same thing with Retrodeck on top (although retrodeck might be easier to just move as you can change the path to games)

This is the only thing I’d use it for, so it would be nice if it could do it.

Yeah but it’s a problem for a guy looking for perfection like me😅

It’s a shame that the c/steamdeck part can’t be renamed, but it’s also normal to encounter limitations from time to time…

Maybe it’s it’s the first community in need of such a change and it’ll be implemented at one point…

Even worse, shés using Windows 11. But a friend of her’s who’s the IT guy for every old lady in the area loves Microsoft products and I can’t do anything against it.

Even proposing to be available to help wasn’t enough…

Stupid me, I didn’t see the link😅
