Quoting: ArdjeI can totally understand GPD though. They had a "mediocre" device with virtually no support at all in a niche market. Despite no support and mediocre (still very good though), they did good for a "small" company.

I don't know if they were ever big in the gaming space. I considered buying one of their devices as a Mini Laptop / Working device. I think they are stronger in that space. But maybe I'm wrong.
For that type of thing I would still prefer one of their devices because they have a keyboard.
But now with that behaviour, I will not consider them anymore, there are alternatives.

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääThis looks like a game that could easily be ported nowadays to Linux native..

You can't tell that by how it looks. If they have an old engine relying heavily on the Win32 API then it's probably harder then a new game which's engine supports Linux ootb.

Nice, have played Ys VIII and found it very good. So this Game might be the next, hopefully also on the Steam Deck then.

At first I was shocked but a second later, I don't care. Haven't played any of their games the last couple of years. Indies amaze me much more atm.

But I still hope Microsoft continues publishing Games to Steam.

Nice! I would buy it on Steam if I hadn't it for my Playstation 5 already. And sometimes I have to say, no tweaking at all and just enjoying is something nice, especially with this very nice game.

Quoting: F.UltraOr rather, not being able to uninstall the desktop would of course work but then we no longer can uninstall the desktop which removes the power that Linux gives you.

I agree, but in Linux we have the freedom to choose whichever distribution we like. But distributions focused on average users should be "non-breakable" and thus maybe even limit your freedom. Personally I wouldn't like to use such a distribution but I would recommend such a distribution for the average user.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPStuff like that should be there for people who are interested in digging deeper, but should by no means be a requirement for the average user (unless you aim at techies as your average user).

I actually think that Linux is quite good with real noobs but "bad" for above average computer users. I mean those users who download all sorts of software on Windows but at the same time don't know really how it all works. Linux distros should improve for those types of users.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, I'm fairly terrible at RTS games. Granted I also triggered some people in a discussion recently by saying most RTS games are pretty much a carbon copy of Dune II with different graphics slapped on. So many got all offended by that statement. Was kind of hilarious.

Well I don't know Dune II but yes many Games in RTS are similiar. But I think that applies to every genre. Many Shooters are very similiar. Many Jump 'n' Runs are very similiar. It applies to all sorts of things in life. As soon as you are interested only then you see and value the differences. It's the same with Music for example. For non Rock listeners it all sounds the same for Fans there are huge differences. I could go on and on.
So to me, that statement is not offending, it's just natural that for an outsider it looks very similiar and for fans there's "huge" differences.

Quoting: fagnerlnthe only problem is that I had a worse gaming performance on it, no idea why.

strange... i get very good gaming experience on Solus, not sure why you had issues...

Solus had an old Mesa version for some time maybe that's why.

I'll buy this one instantly from Feral when it comes out. Their ports were always super good.
