Quoting: GuestI remember people commentating Arma 3 was playable, nice to see official support :). I am sure we'll see more soon, although I do wonder if some devs will leave it until Steam Deck users start yelling at them.

Bohemia had developed a Linux Beta for ARMA3.

Actually, I was very very well aware of that :). Do I have to write out an entire essay on these places to cover every angle in the hopes someone doesn't pick on some little bit? Even if doing so half the people will reply anyway...

You shouldn't feel offended by replies adding some information.

Quoting: elmapuli dont know how those statistics will count steam deck, but one thing is for sure, if we manage to steal away users who would purchase an switch to play on the go, nintendo take too long go relase switch 2 or switch 2 dont sell well, and most people dont install windows on ther deck, then we can get an significant part of the market, otherwise , our relevance in the market is lower than the margin for errors in those statistics whetever source you use.

Well, being one percent of a 37 billion Dollar market is representing 370 million dollars - just as 0.23% of a 160 billion market is.

So I'm not sure it's helpful to put PC gaming and mobile "gaming" into the same pot (diagram). You could as well make a huge diagram including all digital entertainment, or all recreational activities, and have the Linux gaming market look even smaller. But the actual size is the same.

Quoting: STiATThey break stuff on a regular base. I am using it as a daily driver too since 1998 (1 year break using Budgie though), and have been contributing to KDE for some years (I do not any longer).

I think it's actually the same year for me. I installed Debian in 1998, and I cannot remember ever having used anything but KDE for more than trying out something. Of course, I did get a share of bugs and crashes in 23 years...

Quoting: STiATAnd thats just a few of those I experienced in the past 6 Month only using stable releases.

... but if your list is from half a year, I'm really surprised. I get my usual problem after updating nvidia drivers, sometimes write permissions when mounting my phone are wrong, but I think that's about it. I had a bigger problem with the database thing (akonandi?) going wild over my data in I guess the last but one Debian update, but that's at least half a decade ago. Maybe using Debian stable and not the latest release anymore is helping me.

Quoting: KallestofelesMaybe one day, in a perfect world, KDE would finally become stable enough to daily drive it. But I guess that's besides the point.

Running it daily for many, many years.
Don't know what you're talking about.

Buy the way, Liam, this 'q' for '"' thing might be bad for SEO. Not sure.

Quoting: AnzaI can't remember for sure (might have been on some of the consoles like PS5), but I think games might be able to support something similar. So you could start playing the game before it has downloaded completely. Combine that to losing all the games if you cancel your subscription and that's already quite close to how Spotify works.

There is such a thing, and Steam at least thinks about it:

Quoting: ArehandoroFor a variety of reasons:

This doesn't sound convincing to me. (E.g. having a computer that you need from time to time switched off is cheaper than having it switched on, and monitoring should absolutely be able to cope with intentional switching.) But I'm "only" software developer and do not work on server farms.

But either way there's something we missed: For cloud gaming as we would do it, on a PC, both systems have to run, the local and the cloud system. I can't imagine this to win ecologically against the local-only solution. (Gaming on say a mobile might differ again.)
