PinePhone, Win Max and Projects-In-Wait

/

Hello again! Just a few little updates as October seems to be progressing along. I have a game streaming post in the pipeline, but need to wait so I can test it on more devices before publishing. Regarding my prior post, I’m waiting on the Pi 4 M.2 case to be shipped as well as am currently troubleshooting an issue where Dell Optiplex 3020s won’t take certain AMD cards, like my RX550 Low Profile, so I may have to opt for a GT 1030 or similar.
I’m also looking into completing a Coursera course from Google so I can boost my resume in job hunts.

In other news, I’ve been testing postmarketOS and Manjaro images on the PinePhone that I have had for a bit. Seeing if I can find a daily driver happy medium. So far, it appears Ubuntu Touch is the most stable software for this device, as postmarketOS and Manjaro are both still in very rapid and active development. More updates on that when I find a decent daily driver.

I have also gotten Rocket League to run perfectly on my Fedora-running GPD Win Max through extracting this version of Proton (5.9-GE) from GloriousEggroll to my home/(user)/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ folder. Well, I extracted it within my Downloads folder, and then moved the Proton-GE folder over to that compatibility tools folder. Maybe if some people are interested, I’ll write up another post on custom version of proton etc in the future.

Note that Rocket League does NOT support Linux anymore due to the Epic Games buyout of their developer (ugh) and that Valve’s newest-at-the-date-of-this-post version of Proton (5.13) does not work with Rocket League.
That’s it for the update so far!


Lastly, here are some things to note that I have stumbled across recently:
