Quoting: [email protected]Can't use the Xbox 360 controller. It's detected. Listed under input options..

But you can't use it inside any of the games you have in the collection.

It works fine on my computer.

Quoting: tonRI know big battery capacity have long standby and usage time but most of them are non-removable. Just missed old times, using phone without worrying much about if phone already charged or not.

True, but it's hardware problem, not Android or iOS, and Linux cannot fix it. I heard, there are some laws upcoming which are going to force vendors to make devices repair-suitable. Maybe one day we'll get removable batteries again.

Quoting: tonRThere's significant no. of people who doesn't want to use Android and/or iOS which includes me for many reasons such as bad battery life, closed platform (iOS), old devices no longer be updated (Android), and etc.

Bad battery life can be fixed by buying a device with big battery capacity. Mine has 4,000 mAh, I recharge it once in 3 or 4 days when it goes below 40-50%. If your smartphone is popular enough, you can always find and install a fresh LineageOS build for it, fast and free from Google's/vendor's bloatware. If you want Linux in your pocket, install something like Termux.

I'd like to have a smartphone with Linux too, but I'm realistic and don't believe it would ever happen. What company would invest to this? Maybe Valve. Gaben, if you read this, consider.

Quoting: tonRIMO, now it is time for Linux community as whole to look forward on mobile devices now! Third OS are needed in mobile device world especially MS abandoned Windows Phone OS. And Linux distros should filled that gap.

There were Ubuntu phones, and they failed. It's too late for a new mobile OS, even Microsoft got flopped.

Quoting: EikeUnfortunately, their badge tasks are not platform filtered...

I use a Python script which emulates playing a game for getting Steam cards drop. Create file run_app_id.py containing this:
#!/usr/bin/python2
import os
import time
from ctypes import CDLL
import sys
steam_api = CDLL('./libsteam_api64.so')
str_app_id = sys.argv[1]
os.environ["SteamAppId"] = str_app_id
steam_api.SteamAPI_Init()
time.sleep(9999999999999)
Then copy libsteam_api64.so from the Steam folder next to that file and run it in the terminal with "./run_app_id.py xxxxxx" (where xxxxxx is AppID of a desired game). With that, all tasks can be done in a minute.

That's awesome. I played it with Wine but after one of Wine or Steam updates it stopped working.

Gaben hates anime, that's the reason.

This app doesn't see my Steam Controller in Bluetooth Low Energy mode (despite I see it in Bluetooth settings on my phone), so I played HL2 having it connected to my PC. There is some input lag, but not too big. The picture quality at FullHD is good.

I'd prefer Tux&Gnu.
