@dziadulewicz - "EPIG. Never have, never will support this scum. Even if Epig started to support Linux; too little too late. Tim Sweeney? Nothing but pants"

I don't think you have to Worry, I don't think Tim Sweeney knows how to dismount a tiger.

It actually makes it really nice, because you know upfront the whole store is going to be a huge fail for consumers, and therefore don't need to waste money feeding the tiger before it's meal time.

pity because they had experience and gave us a lot of good racing games. But it's bought by EA, so they kill them because numbers are not too big. EA Sports WRC won't get any new updates, but they should remove that shitty anti-cheat and leave that game alone.

I might wishlist this, sounds like fun. But I suspect one reason it's being overlooked is the graphics are more rudimentary than Pong.

It's kind of the way laptop computers tend to cost more than desktops even though they have dinky screens and lousy little keyboards and not much power under the hood.

@numasan

You are paying for the convenience in having a portable monitor that fits in a bag. Probably worth it for people in the market for this.

That's a heck of a markup for convenience.

"Announced in a blog post on May 1st, Epic will take a 0% store fee for the first $1 million revenue developers make per app per year."

In other words, Valve is still winning.

Valve might also be looking for talent to hire with this. Which would be both cool and smart.

@brokkr

I have looked at the product site and I'm unable to figure out if the latter can provide power to the Steam Deck (or PD-capable laptop). Am I missing something or is unclear from the info available?

There's this:

One type-c cable can realize various USB C equipment connection, can transmit signal and charge at the same time.

So, you can charge devices from the usb-c port, but I can't find any power output specs even in the manual. Should be enough for a mobile device, possibly the deck, but I don't know if it can provide enough power for a laptop.

Streets of Rage 4 has a native Linux port, so wonder why they chose that as an example? I have the game but can't remember the load times.

What the Wine devs are after are test cases that indicate an issue with Wine's implementation. Fixing the implementation, while a good goal in itself, will likely also help many other applications. It doesn't matter what the test case application actually is, as long as it shows some repeatable thing to test against.

So two USB-C. One for power, one for input. I have looked at the product site and I'm unable to figure out if the latter can provide power to the Steam Deck (or PD-capable laptop). Am I missing something or is unclear from the info available?

If not and I occasionally have to unplug everything to get power to the Deck (or use some weird dongle arrangement) it looses a lot of it's appeal.

also the patch similar to this one was in Proton for years and is not known to introduce problems (before UFFD support was added in kernel 6.7 there was similar mechanism introduced with a custom patch in SteamOS and some custom kernels which Proton was using).

From how I'm reading the commit message, similar functionality seems to already exist in Proton.

This sounds really awesome. I hope Proton backports this patch, because Once Human suffers sometimes from extreme loading on Proton and they use .NET too. However, this game has a lot of other issues too.

Almost forget something more related paul gofman patch:

UFFD supports the functionality similar to Windows write watches starting from kernel 6.7.

I think that most people are waiting for Bethesda games to be supported, but honestly, I'm just happy that Linux finally gets an official mod manager for once that hasn't stopped development out of nowhere. Outside of NSFW content, I'm not sure what kind of mods Cyberpunk 2077 players recommend, but I'm glad that another game is being supported.

Good to see that Valve are at least letting the community update TF2. Honestly, how they've treated this game is disgusting, but I'm hoping that the SDK will breathe new life into it.

Interesting not to see fedora on there ... this is apparently what comes from protondb:

https://boilingsteam.com/linux-distros-in-march-2025-a-new-challenger-emerges/

which is mostly similar, but with the notable difference of fedora?

speaking of this site, i was reading the article :
https://boilingsteam.com/the-steam-deck-is-back-in-stock-in-japan/

and the end of the article:

These are machines you are supposed to play with, but the level of incompetence of the staff is abysmal. The ROG Ally X had no games that you could run - it was basically a useless brick in demonstration. The Steam Deck had at least several games playable, but it was turned off (or in sleep mode) and did not react until you pressed the power button. I doubt that most visitors would know how to operate it if it was their first time.

looks like valve and the other companies need to step up their game, puting an product at an store is not enough, sure many people know what windows is and what it does, but they cant know how powerfull an device gonna be to play an game with an good performance just looking at specs and the desktop enviroment that is awful to navigate on this device.

and steam deck being in sleep mode, sigh.

Nice. Most of these fixes seem fairly minor*, but I bet this is a pilot for Valve incorporating community fixes going forward. And even a bunch of small fixes are great! Can't wait to see where this goes.

*With 'seem' and 'fairly' doing some heavy lifting there, and not to disparage anyone's effort in making them.

The survey doesn't only come up in desktop mode.

Really? I have been running Steam primarily in Big Picture mode for something like 7 years now, and I have only ever seen the survey pop-up when I switched to desktop mode.

I have no interest in buying from EGS, but if they are eliminating the six month exclusivity deals, I'm definitely in favor of that. I'm also in favor of their lawsuit against Apple, and glad it's been getting results.

As far as China goes or any other country. We need all of the support we can get. If say a larger market like Japan were to take a serious look at Linux and be counted this would help tremendously!

Makes no difference where someone is from in the IT world. The more users the better! Count them all!

Survey sounds nice though I don't mind having (anonymized) telemetry ON by default (in full)… It really helps developing software if one knows the usage…

> and more gamers to actually purchase things.

uhm... I couldn't care less about Epic save for the freebies... which I can't even run in a sane manner because they don't care about linux, so there's that.

Besides, their "shop experience" is beyond awful. One of the reasons I'm willing to get games on Steam (instead of GOG) is that I see Valve is doing a lot of (subjectively) good things like improving linux support...
