Quoting: PublicNuisanceI plan on picking it up once it exits early access. I am wary of early access these days because I have a half dozen or so titles that never got finished.

I guess we can have good hopes on this one. Still I don't want to begin something when the story is not yet done.

Quoting: Eike... just without the security fixes. Oh man, I hate this trend.

Unless we have official support from them, which I find it odd that we don't have this partnership yet between Valve and those third parties, considering that Steam is one of the most famous stories of the world.

I should have elaborated a bit: Of course, Electron doesn't make security fixes impossible. It's just, when I have one browser, and a bug is found, I update the browser and the problem is fixed. When I got a browser and additionally its components are delivered with a dozen of programs, and then a problem is found, I update the browser, maybe half of the devs using electron are updating their stuff, I update those as well... and I'm left with a half a dozen copies of the problem - now known to every black hat interested in it.

I watched you playing it on YouTube and must say the game deserves it! I'm also happy they don't want to suddenly turn it into something way bigger now. Keep up the good work, devs!

Quoting: NanobangPS Deb kidz: Is there no straightforward, reasonably simple way to manage Nvidia drivers?

Unfortunately not really, after you installed from a "non-free" medium, you have to do the complicated "apt-get install nvidia-driver" - once.

I've read today in a Steam game forum from the developer (who doesn't even have a Linux version out yet, it's one of those threads) they're thinking about using a Steam Deck as a mobile gaming and development device. They say there's a "real" monitor everywhere they're going and such a little machine would be an exciting thing to carry around. And they want to give Linux a try at least.

Quoting: CatKillerIt's just visiting Netflix with Steam's built-in browser and adding a bookmark.

For you and me sure, but users will expect something similar to a android app. So you can expect someone to built an electron app with a shinny N icon on it (or maybe a flatpak), which in practice it's the same thing :tongue:

Quoting: t3gIf you are a gamer, it is still better to stick with with Ubuntu/Pop_OS or Manjaro due to the udpated kernels and work into MESA that you will miss from Debian being locked down for 2 more years. You can always go with the Testing or SID branch though. If you want that bleeding edge, may as well just do Manjaro.

I'm using it all fine with the backports repository, containing fresh kernels and Nvidia drivers. This might not work for Mesa, though?

Yes. :o)

This is the first major Debian release to support the exFAT filesystem

... in the kernel, was far as I understood the release mail. Before they used exfat-fuse.

I guess I'm going to wait for the first point release in a month before upgrading. Yeah, that might be conservative, but I don't wanna break anything and buster with backports is all fine for me. Still looking forward to see what has happened e.g. in KDE the last two years. :D

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: Eike

major change for save files

Anyone knows what this is about? Did they auto-adjust casing? :D

Basically just what Liam points out in the article, I think:

It's supposed to fix the Steam cloud sync feature

It's not a bug I've come across, but "losing your save" is probably quite a high priority bug to address.

I was wondering what problem that was and how they fixed it. File casing would be a possible reason that came to my mind. Or was it not working at all, for any game under Proton?
