Quoting: Jarmerso basically they want to make it easier for the developers of App XYZ (or Game ABC) to just push a button for deployment and BAM their app/game is available on x86 or Arm? Is that correct?

No, this is purely about the OS layer. At the moment Arch only supports x86_64, and lacks the resources/motivation to support any other architectures because providing packages for these is a timesink/chore right now. Arch has had vague plans to improve the packaging infrastructure (to make supporting other architectures easier) for a while, but hasn't gotten around to doing so. Valve have basically come along and asked how they can help.

Quoting: pbI guess we'll never see Arch 3.0 now

Hell, we never got to see v1.0. :P

The verification system has had these problems from the start. It's nice to see that some people are finally admitting that they exist after burying their heads in the sand for so long.

As always, if you want to support gaming on Linux, support games that support Linux. Don't give your hard earned money to companies that don't give a rats arse about you, then act surprised when they pull the rug out from under you.

Support games that support Linux.

That is all.

Last time I tried it, the previous family sharing sucked. You had to frequently 'sign in' to the recipient PC to keep the sharing active, which was a chore. Perhaps this new version will eliminate that need (or maybe it was fixed in a newer version, I stopped using it ages ago).

Happy birthday, Steam!

TBH Steam has never been much more than a content delivery system in my eyes. However, I suppose no longer having to run it in wine to play games with it is my favourite Steam memory, and getting my first Steam Deck is the next favourite.

The fuck is an 'AI PC'?

Personally, I don't think there has been a good Final Fantasy since X-2, and that was only fun because it piggybacked on the world created by X. Hard pass.

Oh neat, I didn't realise it was a continuation of Chiaki, I thought it was just a flatpakification of the original Chiaki.

Unfortunately all I get from a local build of it is a garbled mess of pixels. Maybe I'm missing something from my build environment or something. The original works fine, however.

EDIT: Seems to be a regression in vulkan-radeon (24.1.2 works fine, >=24.1.3 exhibits this behaviour). Will have to see if I can bisect that when I get chance.

Packaged for the AUR: chiaki-ng | chiaki-ng-git
