SteamOS 3.4 Beta to update the Arch Linux base, new Steam Deck updates out now

Quoting: mr-victory
Quoting: pbI can't wait for a proper "normal pc" release of SteamOS. My self-made-steam-machine went from SteamOS 1 to SteamOS 2 to GamerOS to EndeavourOS but it pines for SteamOS 3 all the time.
If the GPU is AMD, SteamOS 3 or one of its derivates (Holo, Winesap...) should work fine.
Unfortunately it's from the times when nvidia seemed to be a better choice. :unsure:
Anyway I'm aware of Holo but after the experiences with "SteamOS replacement" GamerOS, I'll just wait for the official release.

Quoting: grigiSadly many games designed for mobiles adopt predatory strategies, and they really don't care if the game makes you happy.

And here I was thinking that Denuvo will now be a DLC for those who really like it, leaving the base game clean, for those who don't.

That's actually pretty ingenious. I wonder if it leads to more users purchasing a stadia version of the game, since they will be able to experience how it performs for them. Or maybe capcom plans to sell a streamed version via their own label?

On an unrelated note, I unsubscribed from stadia not long after receiving my SteamDeck. It works great for me, but I found I hardly ever used it any more. Glad that I will still have access to the games I purchased, without the need for subscription. I probably won't miss the Pro titles that much.

GE-Proton 7.15 is out, enables Fall Guys on Linux and Steam Deck easily

Re Fall Guys: Is it just the fix from ProtonDB comments or something more? Because that fix didn't work for me on two accounts/computers. One is stuck on "loading" and the other has some weird pop-up about missing files and then shuts off.

A real-time worms/artillery with random strangers? Sounds... good, actually. :wink:
