UOOOGHHH

I was so afraid it would have anti-cheat but thank god much like Shadowverse Worlds Beyond and Uma Musume it just works on Linux!

That's very great news. I don't need to work on the Waydroid emulator setup anymore. I can just play the game. I hope other gacha games launching on Steam follows this. I know a LOT of people are worried about their favorite gacha games on Linux, and a main blocker of their transition to Linux.

Heroic is also exploring adding other stores, but they are committed to only adding those when they have good cli option so it can be natively incorporated to Heroic UI.

@Eike I do like the idea of Debian... But the idea of offering Debian for Gaming in the same way Bazzite does sounds very complicated! Even Bazzite makes a point to use ublue-os Cloud Native configs which itself is downstream of Fedora Atomic, because they offered a solid base to build a stable yet up-to-date base image so we can support something like a ROG Ally day zero, having a separate base image for both legacy Nvidia system for both DE, and also supporting emerging open Nvidia drivers and new hardwares in general!

Fedora was a perfect middle ground for all of it and there's a reason why Kyle transitioned his custom setup into a proper OS image under Universal Blue!

Debian is great, but it isn't the answer to everything. I wonder though... Maybe NixOS under bootc???

Exactly. This scenario was brought up very early on in the Discussion and it's not treated seriously. Some outright gleeful about dismissing the usecase of natively installed Steam (take a guess who they are).

We cannot allow proprietary software that we cannot fix to hold back Fedora development. Removing i686 support is critical. It’s long past time to do this. Thank you, Fabio!

It’s not clear that there is any actual serious problem here anyway. The strongest argument I see above is “I don’t like Flatpak and now I have to install Steam via Flatpak rather than via RPM like I would prefer” which is just not a very convincing use case.

In regards to steam another issue with flatpack is that using VR with it it’s simply not possible.

Surely this is not important enough to merit continued production of i686 packages.

This is bad. We are doing the EndOf10 campaign and gaming is currently becoming a killer app / honeypot for getting more people on Linux Desktop. Bazzite is one of the desktop that has AMAZING growth, even if it may seem small right now (it's right there, in their public number, both the not very big number now but amazing growth trend).

To have this news of Bazzite potentially shutting down because "Steam is legacy" right when Windows is making headway into gaming is a bad news!

That's good. To be honest, the amount of action-y games built on top of RPG Maker and Wolf RPG feels weird sometimes. Clearly, there's appeal to developing with their UX and tooling even if you're doing a non-traditional RPG (including action game), so it is great that they pay attention to Linux there.

Hopefully, we eventually see more natively exported Linux version for RPG Maker games as well, because non-native nwjs performance sucks.

Looks interesting. But Ludusavi also has a GUI right? I don't know which one I'll use, but I'll try both and see which one has better multiplatform (Windows and Linux) support, easier to sync in a git repo, and I can ultimately use to sync and restore after both Windows and Linux uninstall.

Losing Rance VI progress three times has left me in a trauma regarding saves, to the point it even affects my views on purchasing games (no cloud save sync, no purchase) and still leave me wanting for manual backups on top of cloud save sync...

Fxcking finally. It was always annoying having to wait for the email. Makes it easier when setting up Heroic as well - I can keep my phone open on the same app ready to put in the code right after logging in to Epic.

Beautiful. As someone who knows all of those tools, I can see how it fits together, I can imagine what duct-taping and scripting is needed to automate it, and I have a headache just from thinking about it.

Honestly, the Steam way of doing telemetry is really good. Make it a rare event so that when you do get one, you think "Cool, I finally got one," and give enthusiastic consent.

As for the releases, there are still several things that needs to be iterated, so I think wait-and-see is about right.
