What do the other two do better?

Not difficult to find, but whatever.

Ah. You must be from The Divided Kingdom.

Let’s be real here; arrogant twats don’t off themselves. Too much ego.

You do realise that dropping 32bit libraries would mean all Fedora flavours get effected, right?

Steam is just one if the things that would break. It’s more than just gamers pushing back against this.

I wish people would read the discussion on the Fedora forum…

This is not a change.org petition. This is a European initiative. Meaning if this gets the necessary number of signatures this could get brought forth to the European Parliament, where laws on the subject can get negotiated over.

MitID is hard-required to sign into anything government or personal information required. Previously people would be handed a key-card (a white, fold-out card with a bunch of numbers on it. The numbers were one-time use, so the card would eventually run out, requiring a replacement after a few months).

These key-cards have been completely phased out. Now there is the MitID app or a key-device that is almost impossible to get (you’ll basically have to prove that you don’t have/can’t use a smart phone).

The MitID app has almost no features at all. It’s specifically used for authentication. You log into the gooberment website or bank website, then a encrypted, constantly changing QR code pops up. You open the MitID app on your phone, scan the QR code, and then you gain access.

This is all run through the private security company the Danish government has hired, called “NETS”.

People just ditching Fedora for another distro is exactly what is being warned about on the linked forum thread, should the Fedora team decide to go through with it.

As for the why; the Fedora team says that 32bit libraries are annoying to maintain and that they can cut it out to save on time and resources. They consider 32bit old and no longer relevant.

However, others have said that if 32bit is still being used (also for none-game-related projects) then it’s still relevant and should still be maintained. Also that Fedora should develop according to what the user base wants, and not pull a Microsoft/Apple and force want they want on the user base.

Can you tell me about Graphene?

I got bank and government ID apps (manditory. Denmark uses MitID for all government related things), but they require things like locked bootloaders and Google security features.

Would those apps be functional on GrapheneOS?

Yes, and from what I understood:

• Steam is still 32bit. Two-thirds of Bazzite’s user base use the OS on handhelds requiring Steam’s gaming mode front-end. Installing Steam as a flatpak removes the ability to boot into gaming mode, and so alienating two-thirds of Bazzite’s user base.
• It will kill support for older games that are still 32bit. Wine’s WoW64 isn’t ready yet, and even so, building custom Proton for 32bit support (e.g. Including all the 32bit libraries inside of Proton itself) on top of the Proton provided by Valve is going to be very messy.
• OBS requires 32bit packages to capture video data from 32bit games. If 32bit is no longer supported, this’ll kill streamers playing older games (OBS is probably the most widely used software by streamers and game recorders).
• It would kill VR on Bazzite, as VR still makes use of 32bit features (I’m not sure why or which ones, but that’s what’s said).

Woaw! Damn! The robotaxis are a dangerous fuck up!? That’s most surprising thing that happened all year! There’s literally no way I could’ve seen that coming.

“PlayStation” or “xbox” layout has never been referred to merely the face buttons until now.

What is meant by “layout” is… Well… The layout. Where the buttons and the sticks are. The PlayStation layout is symmetrical. The xbox layout is lopsided, with the left stick abd the d-pad switched around.

A lot less talked about is also the Gamecube layout, again not merely referring to the style of face buttons but their physical layout.

Yep, this was my first thought. But I don’t know how to solder, I don’t have a soldering kit, and I don’t have any place to put it. I can’t justify buying a whole soldering kit if I’m using it for this project alone; it’ll be more expensive than just buying a new controller where the problem wont happen anymore.

Thank you! This will certainly be a strong contender. They also have very cheap shipping to Denmark, so that’s a plus.

I dunno what to say…

When looking for the Tarantula Pro, this is what shows up:

Shipping in 2026… oof. ^^;

I’m not sure about the mini controller. Looks like it might get very irritating to use after a short time.

Yeah, I know that replacing the sticks on a PS controller is a soldering job, but I don’t have a soldering kit.

It was actually my first idea; get a soldering kit, get some hall effect sticks, repair my DS4 controller. But I don’t actually have a place to put a soldering kit, I have no skill with soldering, and I can’t justify buying a soldering kit just for this one project.

I’ve also traveled across Europe with it a few times. I bought my DS4 for use with my laptop (years before I built my own PC) shortly after the PS4 came out. I’ve had that controller for a very long time.

I considered perhaps replacing the sticks with hall effect ones myself, but I don’t have a soldering kit, and I can’t justify buying a whole soldering kit when I don’t have place for one and intend to only use it once.
