OBS Studio 30.0 Beta 1 released supporting Intel QSV on Linux
21 Aug 2023 at 4:49 am UTC
I wonder if Global Menu fix for Wayland cannot be handled on OBS side and would need to wait until Plasma 6. It's been quite annoying as the remux menu can't be accessed unless I force x11 for OBS so that it'd work with libdbusmenu and the Global Menu appears on my system.
Proton Experimental updated for August 18 fixing up more regressions

Fixed Proton Experimental regression: WHITE ALBUM: Memories like Falling Snow
Very nice. A lot of Japanese VN are usually pretty annoying to fix because they're just all over the place in terms of things that they need tweaks for.
ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON rated Steam Deck Playable ahead of release

It is good that they're being honest and clear that it's Playable but not Verified. I feel like there's been a lot of Verified titles that aren't really Verified-worthy, and that's making the rating be less reliable and trustable.

Although tbh I would just use the ProtonDB extensions and browse games using my browser to check their ProtonDB ratings because I still trust ProtonDB better.
Heroic Games Launcher gets a critical hotfix in 2.9.1

Not surprising that the Nix packagers are holding off for the hotfix. Wonder if there'll be a second hotfix after this.
Heroic Games Launcher 2.9 out now with Amazon Games support

Quoting: torstenchrI've tried reaching out to derrod (developer) on github but it seems like this issue is not taken serious.... :(
Seems to be this issue [External Link], which is part of this issue [External Link], and currently have an unreleased hotfix ready [External Link].
GE-Proton 8-7 released bringing back AMD FSR support (UPDATED)

With support back it allows you to use AMD FSR 1 on top of any Vulkan game (or DXVK / VKD3D-Proton) running through GE-Proton by using WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command% as a Steam launch option.

According to GE, you no longer need to do so. Here is everything on how it works on the latest Proton-GE version:

if you want to change the mode and/or set custom mode yes, but you do not need WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1, it's on by default. It does not get used if the game res is set to the same as the monitor res and if the game is not in full screen

[...]

by default these settings are enabled:
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_MODE=balanced

In order for them to work correctly, you must set the in-game resolution to smaller than your monitor, and set the game to fullscreen mode. Otherwise FSR is not applied

[...]

if you're using gamescope you do not need to touch GE-Proton FSR settings,use gamescope's settings instead, it has fsr built in. and no, multimonitor is not an issue
Note that Ph42oN later corrects the modes that "it should just add all of the resolutions, not just balanced if not using WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_MODE".
Valve adds ability to see Steam Deck verification in desktop Steam

Still wish for ProtonDB option. It'd be one less extension on my browser, and I could use the Steam client's Store browser itself instead of my browser without worrying about missing the compatibility ratings.
Overwatch 2 heads to Steam making it even easier on Steam Deck / Linux
20 Jul 2023 at 7:05 am UTC
Quoting: akselmoEdit: I think they don't have enough players in their lootbox circus, so this is their last hurrah trying to get players?
They don't have lootbox anymore, just a stupid battle pass and per-item purchases, but they are being desperate after a bunch of people declared the game dead following the cancellation of the PvE campaign.
Fedora considering adding in 'privacy-preserving' telemetry
9 Jul 2023 at 9:45 am UTC Likes: 2
I personally want this to be turned on, opt-out by default. I saw the proposed design and it seems fine to me. And the potential benefit to me is that Fedora and Gnome may stop being so out of touch that so many people uses the thing they refuse to ship by default for no reason and see any other user experience issues on the platform.
Steam UI scaling should work even better in the latest Beta
20 Jun 2023 at 7:39 am UTC
Quoting: CanadianBlueBeerIf I set monitor scaling to 125%, then steam seems to be the right size.
Everything ELSE is too large though.

sigh (and the scaling button in steam does nothing)
You can probably fool it for Steam by appending your desired scaling through env vars. AFAIK the env var related to scaling for GTK are either `GDK_SCALE` or `GDK_DPI_SCALE`, and for Qt I think it should be `QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR` (checked with `env | grep -i scale`).
