I think that is the main thing I need to do. Check all my cloud saves for the games I want to continue. Thanks.

I’m considering purchasing a steamdeck. I may be away from my computer when I get the steamdeck. Could there be any issues with setting up games without access to a computer with my steam account? I assume cloud saves will be available. What about setting up a game that requires rockstar launcher?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback. It looks like the answer is no, I don’t need access to a computer with my steam account.

I would second Elixir. Either that or Rust. Sure both are popular, but for good reason.

They are completely different from the languages you use.

You will be introduced to new paradigms.

As a person who used the same stack as you (albeit typescript instead of JavaScript), I think it would be a waste of time to learn C#. It is so close to Java, and learning it may make you hate having to use Java, because it seems a bit better put together. Even though it runs on Linux, and is a good language, I don’t think there is ever a reason to chose it over Java, because M$.

Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

Check out exif tool. You could also incorporate jq a command line json parser, to extract data from the json file. If you are trying to do higher level sorting/organization, you may consider using a scripting language other than bash/zsh. Guaranteed there is a Python package for reading exif data.

Running Windows? You could try a clean install

Here is a real world example of someone doing some reverse engineering of compiled code. Might help you understand what is possible, and some of the processes. https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/

PS5 and the Xbox are great consoles. I still have and use my PS4. I don’t think you would regret buying one to compliment your steam deck. Disclaimer: I own neither a PS5 nor a steam deck.

I’ll have to check out this book. Just remember HTML cannot be parsed with regex

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

  • iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
  • based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
  • copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.
