KDE Plasma 6 goes Wayland by default, initial HDR gaming support
15 Nov 2023 at 3:32 am UTC Likes: 1
As someone who've been using KDE Wayland for the past year or so, I can say that for the most part it's ready for most users. It's just waiting for some application devs to switch over to the new method, and with KDE on Deck representing a massive userbase, I think this would be something that tips over those devs into putting in the work. Here's hoping that Valve will finally focus on Steam on Wayland - still waiting for Remote Play Together to work well, which it should be able to, given how I've been using KDE Connect to control my PC for a while now.
It looks like 2024 will be the Year of Get Wayland Done.

Quoting: enigmaxg2Since the vast majority of GPUs out there are Nvidia, and it's known how bad they play with Wayland, I see this as a risky move.I have heard from actual Nvidia users that, with the last few drivers, it's actually been pretty good or at least fine enough.

Fedora Linux 39 is out now with GNOME 45, Linux kernel 6.5

Done upgrading both of my Universal Blue devices to a Fedora 39-based images (ublue-os Kinoite on my laptop, Bazzite on my PC). Seems fine, doesn't look like there's any big issue. Only issue I had was some packages getting their names changed, requiring me to look up the new names to put in my recipe.yml files.

Quoting: PyreticHow well does it work on the Steam Deck? I know that you can't use it in Gaming Mode but I do still want to know.It should work fine? I recall there IS a way to run a game, and still have a browser running in the background, in game mode. Theoretically, you just need to do the same with OBS, and hit record/stream before switching back to the game (or bind record/stream to a button combination, if that works).

Huh, this might finally make DMM Games work since they use custom uri/protocol for launching games.

Protocol associations exported to the Unix desktop.That seems... big. This should be for stuff like Spotify and Steam URL, right?

SteamOS-like Linux package Bazzite 2.0 is out now for Steam Deck and desktop

Still waiting for the other repos that I have baked in for convenience (like TeamViewer and Wine) to have a 39 version, but I'm looking to rebase my ublue-os bazzite and kinoite image to 39 next month. For now, I'm pinning to 38, waiting for everything to be worked out, but I'm looking forward to the switch.

Looking forward to using it in Fedora 40. Hopefully David Edmundson's new input-module for Wayland is ready by then.

GE-Proton 8-23 fixes VRChat and reworks GStreamer plugin

Well, that makes it 7 releases and around one month that the Flathub version [External Link] is behind now. Hopefully they figure out the issue that's preventing the update, because it was convenient to essentially have a "Proton-GE Latest" option I can default to always get the latest version in Flatpak Steam.
Heroic Games Launcher 2.10.0 released with plenty of essential fixes

Gamescope! I've been waiting for that for a while now. I like using Heroic especially because they have Discord IPC, it was just missing gamescope for a while now (which is a very nice thing to have for my config).
Lutris game manager v0.5.14 adds EA App integration, expanded Flatpak support

Getting back to the topic, I've tested the new Flatpak runner update, it's pretty good. You just enable Flathub as source, install the runner from the Flathub source from the sidebar, and it'll detect it as a runner. You can also install the flatpak manually, but it'll require Lutris to restart to detect it.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualDo you have a NVIDIA card? It's also broken for me. There was a regression for the 3.12.5 release of Gamescope, but NVIDIA needs to fix it. I found that AUR-compiled Gamescope worked in Lutris, strangely. And I don't use the Flatpak versions of those programs.Nah, I'm on AMD RX 570. Dunno what happened, just broke one day. Gamescope gonna be gamescope.
Well, with the newest release, it may not work in Lutris anymore. Fortunately, I'm playing on my Intel laptop most of the time.
