You could creating an image of the drive under Linux, using dd. Then the recovery could be attempted on the image (assuming it does not contain sensitive data and can be shared).
For your information, in case your curious, a similar interface (that I use) is: https://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/building.html
In my case this is good news as I used to play with my daughter which is using it on an Android tablet. And it’s always good to keep an eye on her as I play her games with her!
I’ve been using Matrix/Element for around three years. I have there my family, a couple of friends and a couple of services that use it for alert, information. I host a non-federated server on a VPS in Germany. My approach has been simple: do you want to chat with me? Use Matrix. Otherwise, call me or send me emails.
If privacy is important for you, then make it a priority.
I read that and I do need vacation now. This reading stressed me too much.
That is really good - I have recently setup something similar with a Cypress CY8CKIT-059 development board and I have to say it almost brought tears to my eyes when I started read data from my old floppy disks on my Steam Deck…
The Deck has become my main pc since months now. When I want to play, it’s just perfect as it has been designed for that (and yes, I do agree with the many comments about playing on the couch or bed).
But when I need to do something non-gaming related I boot from a dedicated SD card with WinasapOS where I have a full and unlocked linux OS on which I can install and run everything I need. I even occasionally run a Windows 10 VM from there when I needed to flash some peripheral’s firmware.
The Steam Deck is a quite decently powerful machine for its price, so why don’t use all its potential?
Me too! I’be been using it for two years and it’s my chat application with my family and (some) friends. I’m happy with the stability and overall functionalities.
I’ve settled on Ubuntu in 2008, but jumped between Gnome, KDE, Unity and LXDE. Then I got a Steam Deck last year and it became my main machine, so now I am not only with its Arch based OS, but I a secondary Arch SD card that I occasionally boot, if I need something not immediately available in SteamOS.
Servers? Debian Since 2019.
I’ve been looking for this as well since a few days without luck…
I’ve been using it for many years with my four mailboxes and I am very happy with it!
