The worst that happens is that it doesn't form an emulsion with the butter and the water. I say give it a try and see how it turns out. Just remember to report back here so we can all learn from your experiment!

This version is a good bit different than the cream versions that you generally find. Pretty much just butter, cheese and pasta water.

Not the version that I am talking about here. This particular version was invented in Rome and was quite famous in its time.

I think there is something that is generally added to prevent it from sticking together if I remember correctly. You could certainly try it, but grating a cup of parm is not too difficult and it tasty.

I have a good heavy cream version that I like to make from scratch and it is really good, but this was so simple and tasty that it is going to be something that I keep on tap for an easy night where I still want something amazing.

It kinda depends on what you want it to do. Personally, I am enjoying the official valve dock. It does all the things I want it to do and I do not need any additional functionality out of it. I have heard that it is finicky with certain types of tvs though, so you might want to search for your tv model(s) and see if anyone has had issues with that before.

That said, if you want extra features like storage or whatever, then you need to look for those.

Well, I use mine to stream games over wifi and it works better when my pc is wired. Different situations require different set ups. That's the beauty of having options.

It really depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting to get out of the experience. For instance, streaming a game from a gaming pc to a Steam Deck or other portable unit works best when the pc is wired to the network.

But that's why you would put it near the router so you don't have to use 100 ft of cable to do it, so meh.

I feel like that is the common trend for me. Linux is the superior experience to Windows in every situation that it works at all.

That includes when an issue arises. I would much prefer to troubleshoot a Linux install than Windows.

Personally, I don't really mess with battlenet games at all, but my understanding is that you can open Lutris and install battlenet pretty easily. Then just like on Windows, you install Diablo via their installer, and for most people, it works out of the box.

You can also download battlenet directly and add it as a non steam game to steam and then run it using their Proton compatibility option. This also works on the steam deck.

Look, I'll be the first one to say that gaming on Linux is not as easy as it can be on Windows. But it is definitely not a bad experience, and hard core gaming is not the majority use case for computers. We have billions of PC users in the world. Under 3 million play Diablo 4. That is a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

Given that you need to install non-native hi rez textures to play Diablo 4 in 4k on Windows, that is not a good test for the "general crowd".

The moment you get into any kind of high end gaming PCs, you've already left "general crowd" territory for most computer users.

In addition to what is mentioned here, you could also grab a steam controller. It is not quite as refined as the deck's controller setup, but it works very similarly with two track pads for mouse emulation.
