Do you get worse graphics running DX9 though ? I mean its great that it works on the Deck and kind of meh that you have to enter commands on Linux desktop (hope this is not a trend ). But having to go back in time to DX9 seems a bit extreme. Hopefully this will get fixed up shortly.

Quoting: mZSq7Fq3qsHow does that 40fps feel?

10fps faster than 30fps.

Quoting: ZlopezStrange, I played Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide in past with Proton and everything worked without issue, only thing that didn't worked was the launcher. So I'm surprised that it's marked as newly playable, when it was playable in past.

I thought it didn't work because of EAC?

That is Vermintide II, which is broken on Linux because of this.

Quoting: CruelAngelHow good are these tiny beasts? Lets say if I would be playing Horizon Zero Dawn through proton, would it have a reasonable FPS with a full HD monitor?

Id be wary of this having VEGA graphics as opposed to RDNA graphics like the SteamDeck. Even on AMD's website it does not mention if this is VEGA or RDNA. That said, why not just buy a Steamdeck and use it in the same manner ? It's cheaper and probably faster in games and you can use it in a variety of ways.

Liam's videos show Horizon Zero Dawn running okay from memory.

In fact, the steam deck is so accomplished that unless you were after desktop like performance i wouldn't buy any low-end / mid range device other than this for Linux, in which case i would spend a few hundred more and get a proper gaming laptop or build a small form factor desktop.

Can you imagine how good the Steam Deck 2.0 will be for convergence ? if they add a PCI-E / Thunderbolt connector for docked GPU. It will give a lot of laptop manufacturers something to look over their shoulder at.

speaking of which :grin:

Coreboot is pretty cool. There is actually a modern alderlake Z690 board with support now from MSI.

Quoting: GuestNot surprised DF were so wrong but then they're tech enthusiasts, not journalists.

I kind of feel that's the wrong way round. At least, you would imagine a tech enthusiast to look into the actual underlying technical detail and a journo to spout off surface level tidbits & quotes for the uneducated masses to chomp on.

Most 'tech' (hate that word now TBH it's been ruined) enthusiasts of today are just Bugmen who like shiny toys, marketing fluff for sponsorship money. they aren't actually capable or interested in the 'nerdy details' i.e the way something ACTUALLY WORKS.
