Seeking advice about BTRFS RAID
  • I would continue to say don't use RAID56. You can use RAID1, which will give you the sum of all your drives divided by 2 in usable space. As long you're not matching say a 4TB and 2x1TB. It's called RAID1, but really it writes all data to 2 separate drives, that's why the 4TB and 2x1TB example you don't have enough to write more than 2TB on separate drives. https://www.carfax.org.uk/btrfs-usage/ is a calculator you can play with

    https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Status.html#block-group-profiles They still list RAID56 as unstable on the docs.

    Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes
  • It really depends on how modular their codebase is. The Doom 1/2 modern ports they did in 2019 use Unity. But it's actually still the original Doom underneath and just using Unity for input and output to make porting easier

    PlayStation Portal: Hands On With Sony's New Remote Play Handheld
  • Bigger screen than a regular android phone. Especially because your 6" 21:9 phone means a 16:9 picture on it will only take up ~5".

    Also better controller. Those mounts for a phone on a regular Xbox/Playstation controller always make it too top-heavy since your phone has to be on top of the controller. And I love the idea of a full-sized controller over a Switch or even Steam Deck's tiny buttons that just aren't comfortable.

    I'd probably only be interested if it lets you run actual Android stuff though. Have you seen the Logitech G Cloud gaming handheld? That one's even more expensive, but it does run local games too.

    why anyone would prefer that over simply using a regular Android phone with a good controller

    I always think this is funny because that sums up /r/sbcgaming

    online anti cheats are the worst thing
  • I don't like it because that's the kind of elitist attitude that turns away new people from checking out Linux gaming. Imagine that as a response to "Hey I play these games and am interested in Linux". You're going to tell them: "switch to Linux and give up those games and if you don't you're not committed enough"?

    It's gatekeeping "console-wars" fanboy mentality. Like a Linux Playstation fan attacking someone for playing an Windows Xbox Exclusive. As if that's supposed to be their whole identity, and not just a way to play video games.

    There's nothing wrong with having multiple consoles; there's nothing wrong with dual-booting.
