Dear Vishi, dear logs for today.
I hate to admit it, but I lost my glasses to my own tomfoolery. I was driving to work when it started raining. Usually, I never pull my glasses out of the bag, but I forgot Murphy’s law. I noticed some dust on them and thought, “How can I clean these?” My brain farted with a “brilliant” idea: just clean them with the rain.
So I did it—driving at 70 mph, opening the window, holding the glasses out to rinse them—only for the wind to mock me and snatch them away.
Now, I have to order my computer glasses again 🤦. Luckily, I still have a prescription from optometrist which expires this Nov. This means I can still purchase glasses with HSA.
Previously, I was storing my non-Steam games in /home/deck/Games. This caused problems because /home/deck lives on the small root (/) partition of the Steam Deck (about ~25–30 GB). Once that partition filled up, I couldn’t install updates or other applications, even though the SSD still had plenty of space.
The fix was to move everything to:
/home/deck/.local/share/NonSteamGames
The .local/share
path is on the large data partition where Steam normally installs its games, so it can actually use the full SSD space.
To add non-steam games, in Dolphin file explorer, press Ctrl + H to toggle hidden files/folders so you can access .local
