There’s writefreely, which might be what you’re looking for: https://writefreely.org/

Report it on the discourse site, the bazzite devs respond really quick and are super helpful.

The bigger fool might also be the taxpayer. Oops the company we funded vanished - now we have a $500k loss to write off…

Thanks for this, I was wondering why I couldn’t get barrier to work properly

I’ve had some success with fmstrat/winapps (if I remember the repo correctly) but that might be overkill for your use case

Not much info on how to achieve it, but some info why it might be bad can be found on the ublue discourse site. (Search for KDE gnome) Basically it seems to mess up configs to have both DEs installed or rebasing from one to the other.

Have you contacted valve support?

You could try to install a different OS that’s made for the deck. Bazzite for example also has a steam deck version.

I will jump into that rabbit hole, thanks!

Yeah I don’t as in the bazzite installer it’s a real pain to set it up manually (also not allowing you to spread the partitions over multiple drives during the initial setup)

Ah well, not the first time I changed distro xD I’ll make some space on my drive and test it

A very dumb question probably, but I’m new to using Linux so I lack a lot of understanding: I’m on Bazzite atm. Would there be a simple way to switch to blend OS without wiping everything? Like a rebase? Probably not but I figured it’s worth a shot to ask xD

Try fmstrat/winapps it’s installation process is well documented and it works relatively well. In case you don’t need too much functionality (e.g. complex formatting/custom template/a ton of custom add-ons) the online version might work for you. There’s also a web app for teams you can find on flathub iirc. Betterbird also gives you a ton of options and with owl addin it handles exchange pretty well and also gives you access to the teams web app directly inside betterbird

Reaper also lets you keep evaluating it if you’re unsure that you want to buy it.

Awesome thank you for taking the time too be so detailed! Ok I think I’m starting to see what I need to do.

I’ll definitely look it up. Thanks for the help!

That’s the tool yes. I’ve followed a guide that should have also included optimization. One of the problems I encountered: it doesn’t recognize the monitors properly which makes it a pain e.g. opening an email in a new window. Also lots of flickering and "wrong"colors (Outlook icon is turquoise for example). Nonetheless I would need a “full” Windows environment for the training sessions anyways (don’t want to confuse the attendees more than necessary by showing them an unfamiliar OS)

Thanks for the extensive answer and the video. I’ll put it to good use since I wanted to do a clean reinstall anyways.

Thanks that sounds promising

Any links to beginner friendly tutorials and guides will also be highly appreciated!
