Seems like this topic got lots of attention over night, I really appreciate it!

It looks like there’s really no solution for what I’m looking for, even if I’d move to windows I don’t think I’d get what I want. Apparently only Apple has that but I’m not sure, never owned an apple device.

Seems like this would be a cool project to work on, cross platform cross device parental control with Linux as a first class citizen.

She’s using a Samsung android phone with Family Link, it’s meh but does it’s job. I’m looking into limiting screen time more than content restrictions, and having the total screen time across all devices in a centralised service is very much what I’m looking for.

This is very cool

My daughter has ADHD and if we don’t limit her screen time she can literally spend the whole day sitting and watching Minecraft videos, and then later she gets very grumpy, so yeah while I absolutely hate having to do it, it’s more for her own health than content exposure (not blocking websites and app installation other than by age recommendation).

I agree. I say open door so the function should be named openDoor.

Honestly nowadays none of that matter if you’re using any remotely modern IDE with good indexing and a sensible search, you can start typing however you mind works and it will find it no matter how it’s named.

Lol read and understand it.

Lol

Actually getting better. I got COVID 11 weaks ago and just now I can really say I am finally starting to feel better. Most of the anxiety is gone, the only thing bothering me at this point is pain in my chest, which seems to not go away for some reason, but I’ll get there eventually.

I can’t use 6.7 because of Microsoft of all reasons. https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-docker/issues/868

On GNOME you can try Hanabi it’s still in its infancy but it’s pretty good https://github.com/jeffshee/gnome-ext-hanabi

Before COVID I used to drink 3 coffees throughout the day. When I got sick coffee (and alcohol) would make all symptoms worse. It took me about 10 weeks to recover and during this time I really took a break from coffee and alcohol.

Now I can go about my day with one cup of coffee which I spelt sip throughout the day, sometimes I don’t even finish it.

I’m curious to know how your language throws and catches errors :)

Is flex X on the haters a way of logging to console?

Thanks me too. It’s very weird how long it’s taking for me to recover but I honestly think it’s my fault. I didn’t rest at all during the time I was already sick to the point I even moved some freaking furniture around. Now I am paying for it. I also talked with the person who I supposedly got it from and he had it much worse to the point he had pneumonia from it and he’s also not 100% yet. It might just be this new strain. That said, another doctor prescribed me a strong vitamin thing which is making me much better. This week I will also have another set of exams and etc, so I am crossing my fingers there will be progress and this will end.

COVID. Lost 10kg.

I had COVID the day after Christmas and still feeling crappy. Idk don’t know if this is nornal. Doctors can’t find anything wrong with me.

At this very moment I need to take a break from work to lie down and take a nap, I am completely out of energy. I had strong headaches yesterday the whole day.

I just need this to end, I want to have my life back.

+1 for longboarding, it’s such a nice feeling to just go and see the world passing by.

I’m waiting for summer to try stand up paddling this year.

This one is going to be an unconventional one but I do love the Ubuntu font and I try to sneak it into some documents I write.

Right, I guess if you already the wow client, you could skip it all and just add wow.exe as a non-steam game to your library and try that, it should work.

Otherwise if you’re dealing with the old school wow installer wizards, I guess you can follow the steps in a similar way except use the wow installer where it mentions the battle.net installer.

Yeah you can Google how to install wow on Steam deck and follow the guide, with a caveat that on the steps between installing battle.net and creating a launcher for it on Steam after it’s installed, I suggest moving the contents of the proton bottle to a shared space so you keep you credentials. Let me get on my pc in a few minutes and I’ll get you some instructions.

EDIT:

this is what I did:

• Download Battle.net installer from https://downloader.battle.net/download/getInstaller?os=win&installer=Battle.net-Setup.exe

• Add it to Steam from the Games > Add a non-steam game to my library…

• Right click on it from Steam library, Properties…, Compatibility, check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and select Proton Experimental. Close the window.

• Run the installer by double-clicking it in your library. Go through it as usual, make sure you uncheck to start it with Windows, and to mark Keep me logged in.

• Install WoW (don’t need 100% installation, just start it), and click on the cog icon and Create a desktop shortcut (no shortcut will be created in your desktop)

• Open Battle.net settings and in App, On Game Launch, set to Exit Battle.net completely.

• You can also mark When clicking X, Exit Battle.net completely.

• When done, close it fully (from tray and etc).

• Navigate to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata and find the folder with the Battle.net installation (it’s going to be the one with a longer name, and most recently modified).

• (Optional, see footnote) Move the contents of the pfx folder somewhere else like ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx and create a symlink from ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx:

ln -s ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx

• In your steam library, find the Battle.net installer, right click > Properties…

• Change the shortcut target to

"~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop/World of Warcraft.lnk"

And Start in to:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop

You can also find an icon in

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/256x256/apps

• In WoW, make sure to disable vertical sync.

Footnote: The reason for moving the proton prefix folder away is that this way you can have a shared proton prefix for all your non-steam proton games with the advantage of keeping a shared login state and etc between the apps since the registry is stored inside the pfx folder, but have a separate shortcut for each in your steam library by always creating this symlink back to the shared folder, and the ability to tune proton settings to each different application separately as those settings they are kept in the parent folder.
