Bit odd them listing "Improved VRAM consumption on Nvidia GPUs" under the Steam Deck heading but okay. Hopefully that will help those of you choosing to run the Native Linux version on Desktop Linux with an NVIDIA GPU.

I can only understand that as someone (more or less secretly) supporting Linux. IIRC, they already said the Linux version started as a passion project of a single developer. Whoever you're are, I'm sending a :heart:.

Is it exclusive to the OLED model? Because it did drop on my OLEDeck yesterday, but my PC running SteamOS still says it's up to date.

I had an update yesterday on SD LED.

Added some notes for Debian.

Our wiki is bad.

Installing nvidia-drivers on Debian is basically
> apt install nvidia-driver

I made I video talking way too long for the easy task of installing Steam plus Nvidia drivers on a virgin Debian:

IMO cheating in casual gaming is more of a social problem and requires social solutions. An obvious solution is to stop making free-to-play games. Another one is to link accounts with real identities using eIDs or such − I'd personally be OK with that if done properly, your opinion may vary.

How would any of this solve the cheating problem, without technical anti-cheat?

That's the part I miss from these modern games - by making matchmaking and server infrastructure dependent on the publisher, we lost so much

Yes, so much yes. I had lots of fun in CoD 1 and 2. Until some... Black Ops 2 maybe? ... was doing automatic match making. Bye FPS.

"Magnetic thumbsticks (TMR) "
i hope this is a rebranding for hall effect sensor, if that is the case, its perfect!

I just read they're supposed to be even more precise and more energy efficient than hall effect sensors. (Source: gamestar.de)

Yall really think 1080p is the common res for living room tvs? Here in the US, I don't think I know anyone with a 1080p tv. Can you even still buy them? I mean like if I go to costco, every single set is 4k. And you can get the low end ones for around $200. I would wager highly that the common tv res in the states is 4k.

I don't know, but... Don't mistake what's being sold for what people have at home. Most, by very very far the most, people didn't buy their TV set this year. Or the last.

Regarding the virtual reality headset, I'm not a fan of this kind of technology to begin with. I'm a little worried that screens so close to my eyes might damage them over time... And since I wear glasses, I'm not sure they'd be compatible with such a headset. However, they've done a good job with its weight, it seems much lighter than the competition's. If its price is affordable, it will certainly delight fans of this type of technology.

This will have four digits(*) attached, I bet.

(*) of the US/EU kind
