@@flamestoyershadowkill I bought a 2m USB C female to male cable for my deck and very happy with it. It is connected to my JSAUX dock, and I did not try it with my old Xiaomi 20 Ah powerbank, on my backpack, but I will probably do it traveling.

@@BGRecon good call, though a doubt there will be many Deck related problems that cant be fixed via the GUI. learning how to use a terminal is also a good first step into automation or ricing (custom desktops).
I stumbled into linux by accident and a little curiosity. Back in 2016 i didn't know there was even other OSes then i saw zorin os, at the time i didn't really like it simply because i didn't know what was i doing, then i discovered the world of linux and installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS and searched how everything was done like installing programs, now i use manjaro on my arm devices and Pop!_OS on my main laptop and barley use windows. Only sadly support for intel atom is really poor with my experience so my dell windows tablet have to wait for who knows how long.
8:54 When you mention it's as a 7TB game and it almost sounds believable!!! "Yeah I just downloaded the new COD onto my steamdeck SSD, it was only 7terrabytes, no biggie"
Now imagine 3D-printing a designed backside that fits the SSD's and keeps the cooling adequate. Sure it'll be thicker but that's a compromise I'd live with.
The last time I gave someone any sort of linux advice they had to use the recovery usb on their steam deck, poor guy probably wasted so much time. I still feel bad about that.
I think the 14.5TB is actually 14.5TiB but 16TB. Also, I respect you for learning Linux not because learning it deserves respect but choosing to learn it does. Thank you for showing the world how wonderful our operating system is.
Yeah. This is because storages are commonly marketed as powers of 10 (16 TB = 16 000 000 000 000 B) instead of powers of 2 so when you divide 16 * 10^12 B by 1024^4, you'll get approximately 14,55 TiB. On the other hand if the storages were marketed as powers of 2 then 16 TiB drive would actually be closer to 17.6 TB in size. For those who want to do the conversion by themselves, for each 1000 in TB (or GB, MB etc.) when converted into bytes, you need to divide it by 1024. For example, 512 GB = 512 000 MB = 512 000 000 kB = 512 000 000 000 B so it becomes 500 000 000 KiB = 488281,25 MiB and approximately 476,8 GiB. I recently bought a 5 TB external drive. Windows 10 shows it as 4,54 TB even though it's clearly 4,54 TiB due to the conversion. Basically whenever the system shows lower numbers than the product package, store website etc. then you know it's due to this conversion from marketed size to system size.
Yeah, what Mizufluffy said. Basically we like tens and computers like twos so we made the prefix kilo mean 10^3 or 1000 like in kilogrammes or kilometres or whatever but as I said computers like twos so the closest equivalent was 2^10 or 1024 and that was basically a kilobyte so programmers used that. Nowadays however we use gigabytes and terabytes and since the percentage error gets bigger the bigger the number that 2.4 percentage error can be about 10 times larger for terabytes so while all programmers continued with the twos approach the hard drive makers decided that they can fit more gigabytes if they say kilo means 1000 even for computers. Since the programmers were technically wrong there was a big push to change it from kilo, mega, giga etc... to kibi, mebi, gibi... for computers but it never caught on and now we just have more terms to confuse people, more ambiguity and less consumer education.
I modified the case internally and was able to fit in a 4 tb NVME and a 1 TB card.. dual booting SteamOS and Windows, with a 3rd partition that is btrfs that allows CROSS OS Steam library, which means that Steam OS AND windows can access the same library. 1tb SD is hosting emulation roms, everything on the deck..
I came here to watch this video after being referred in an LTT video. And now it’s my second most favourite channel. LEZGO GUYS! You are doing great work !
The next experiment is mount a NFS share and check the speed of playing directly from the Network. Search for NFS and fscache for NFS. You will be really shock about Linux server features on SteamOS. A proper cache policy configuration could give you tecnically infinite (arbitrary amount) amount of storage.
chown is short for 'change ownership' - presumably you created the raid with root (sudo) permissions and needed to update the permissions to allow normal users to access it.
The most likely reason why Linux file systems didn't work maybe because you didn't run chown to take ownership of file system? Edit: glad you figured it out. 😀
I have to be honest, I was a bit disappointed once I caught on that the most important defining feature, the mobility, was being compromised to do this. Yes, I also have a desktop with 20TB. The cool thing was 20TB on a portable device.
I didn't think the banana would throb like it did the other day. Thank you for being my e-viagra. All jokes aside it really is fun to watch you do this stuff. Hope to see more with the PS5 storage journey too!

how do you take your mountain dew sir? boiled or chilled? explains the energy and enthusiam! that or monster great vid! just will have to get a suitcase to pull your "extra" storage
Yeah... Don't use NTFS file system (which is specifically a Windows fs) on Linux ever. Linux does not support Windows permissions so you can read files from NTFS partition by forcing everything to be owned by your user when mounting it but things won't work for installing Linux stuff on it and running stuff from it and writing stuff to it in general. And NTFS is slow af on Linux. Also yeah the problem you experienced with Ext4 partition was that when you create partition it is initially owned by "root" (administrator user) because you're creating it as "root" (administrator user) (and it's not possible to create it as non-root user). So you always have to change the user:group after mounting it for first time by changing the user:group of the directory the partition is mounted after mounting it.
Man you really need to 3d print a custom back for the Steam Deck with an m.2 extension cable connected to it so you don't have to run the Steam Deck backless.
thats all fine and dandy but you have now spent more than a desktop and cant go anywhere with it lol you should attempt to create a dock that houses all those components nicely in that you can just drop the steam deck in when at home(like the switch), and for on the go i kinda feel like using a cable in the M.2 to run out and behind the case that can be mounted in a small enclosure in the center of the steam deck would be the best option for more space and still keep portability.
7:15 that says TiB or Tebibytes and 14.55 Tebibytes convert to 15.9 Terabytes, so it is in fact pretty much 16 Terabytes, also it says "16 002 605 645 824 bytes" which is just about 2GB over 16 Terabytes
