More Progress on Switchbuntu, Job Hunt and Living Room Steam Machine

/

Hello all! I recently went to SCaLE 20x in Pasadena, California. It’s a wonderful mostly-community-led and -oriented event in Southern California. Here’s a fun pic of me helping out at the Lutris booth!

I also met some super cool people at the Ubuntu booth! Aaron Prisk and Monica were so cool to talk to. I ended up setting up my Nintendo Switch with Ubuntu on it as a side-showcase at their booth. I’ll definitely be helping out again with the Lutris booth next year and bringing even more cool projects! I met quite a few people at that event and I’ll also be following up with the companies I’ve talked to, to see if I can finally get another remote tech job!

Side note; The Division 2 has some cool events going on right now. With GE-Proton7-49 and above, you’ll be able to play it just fine on both Steam Deck, and any Linux installs you have! This won’t run on the Ubuntu 18.04 Nintendo Switch, but on the other hardware I’m using daily, it runs fine!

I’ve added the above image, accompanied by a terminal session recording, to my Nintendo Switch Ubuntu project page here if you’re interested in learning more about how that’s going. Seems something may have been taken away in recent Steam updates, as I can’t get the application opened via the Switchroot wiki instructions.

Some last things before I end this blog post here for now!
