Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: elmapuli mean, why an steamdeck?

Because they'd look pretty stupid pushing the ROG Ally and its notorious problems and poor aftersales support, I guess. :tongue:

And the Steam Deck has the Steam Client preinstalled on which they sell their games.

I usually don't buy anymore before I have time to actually play them, but in this case I will make an exception.

I think another reason is Windows 11 sucks IMHO.
When looking through tech forums I feel like more people are interested in trying Linux.
But sure, Steam Deck is the biggest growth factor.

Client side anti cheat will never work. I don't get why no one tries server side cheat detection. I think AI in server side cheat detection might be a very useful thing.

Quoting: bonkmaykrGentoo users probably having a field day laughing at us right now compiling all their stuff from scratch.

Doesn't change anything if the sources are get from the tarball.

Quoting: DrakkerI've never been a fan of Pokemon and monster catching games in general, I find that they are just grind, grind and more grind. The battles are boring and have very little strategy involved.

Actually if you look on the details, Pokémon has a lot of strategy inside. It doesn't matter if you just play single player against NPCs but if you play Online, the details matter a lot. It's typical Nintendo, very easy to play for casual players, but very hard to master. Smash Bros is another example of such a game.

Besides that, I played lots of Pokemon and also bought Palworld. IMHO besides the monster catching and the design of the monsters there's not many similarities between those two games. Palworld is just a very nice combination of different games and to me a lot of fun. I would be very surprised if a lawsuit against Palworld would be successful.

But it's also rightfully still Early Access, there's lots of bugs. I die like one time per hour because I'm just stuck somewhere inside the dirt or in between stones or something.

Quoting: slaapliedjeJust seems weird to me. Anyhow, doesn't really matter as long as the sessions are available for each for compatibility (as I've stated elsewhere, I still have some randomly weird issues with Wayland, like Firefox and on-screen keyboards not activating).

I'm still at the stage of switching to Wayland, finding something that isn't working right or irritating me how it works, then flipping back to Xorg. Maybe one day they'll get there... :P

I have exactly the same experience. Gaming on Wayland (at least with AMD) is no problem for me. In fact I already use a Plasma Wayland Session on Nobara. But last time I also tried doing work on a Wayland session there were always things which didn't work, like not being able on Firefox to put a tab to a new window, drag and dropping of files sometimes didn't work. Screen sharing didn't work in many applications, mouse control with virtual machines had bugs. For now I still use Xorg.
But changing it as default is no problem for me as long as the old option is still available.
But back then I was trying out Gnome, maybe on Plasma I wouldn't have had those problems in the Wayland session.

Quoting: MayeulCI still think client side anti cheat is not the way to go about these problems.

Yes it should be done on the server. Client side anti cheat will always be possible. I guess the reason no one does server side anti cheat is that you would probably have to implement it for every game individually.

Quoting: JacksonI always feel like they are going to bring back the Original Steam Machines, but instead of it failing by relying on native ports, now they can use Steam OS on it.

Oh yes, the time might be ready for that.

When I saw the video about it on Linus Tech Tips I immediately thought about the Steam Deck. I think that would be very cool. Would be cool if someone or the company releases a mod for the current Steam Deck.
