Quoting: einherjarMy 6800 XT came today. So I will switch to AMD after years of using NVidia - I hope I will not regret that.
Just make sure your kernel and Mesa are up to date. Seeing as you're on Kubuntu, I suggest you take a look at Kisak's Mesa PPA [External Link].

Quoting: EhvisNo way to be sure unless you try though.
Asking the developer might be an option. How about it Liam? :wink:

The Falconeer takes flight with a Linux version out ready for Steam Deck

Quoting: EhvisThe price difference between Humble and Steam is a bit silly. But doing a native port for the Steam deck and Linux is definitely something I want to support.
It's also kind of silly that on Humble the base game is exactly the same price as the "Warrior Edition" bundle with the OST and the two content DLC. But of course both editions are much cheaper on Steam with the discount.

I was about to buy the bundle on Steam, but then I remembered I've already got these on GOG. Bought Unavowed instead.

Quoting: syylkOTOH, we could say that 15% of titles cannot work on Linux whatsoever.

Which doesn't sound good.
Sounds pretty damn great to me. It would have been 85% not that long ago.

Quoting: tuubiDid you read the rest of the article below the image?
Yes, the rest of the article doesn't say what to do to bring up that information from the webpage, only how to configure a browser to display it.
You're right. I assume it's the blue "Learn more" button under the STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITY header, visible in the background in the top right corner of Liam's shot of the new tablet mode.

on store pages there's a whole new Steam Deck compatibility section that you can bring up like so:
How? You've shown what the browser looks like once you've brought it up, not how to bring it up! How do you see the Steam Deck compatibility section?
Did you read the rest of the article below the image? :smile:

Linux Mint 20.3 is out with theme adjustments, Document Manager, Dark Mode
17 Jan 2022 at 9:08 am UTC

Quoting: PangaeaUpdate went smooth here. Can't say I've noticed anything particularly different, except there is a notification about changing to usrmerge, which I haven't done yet.
The biggest change I noticed were the slightly different Xfce/Xfwm title bars. :grin:
The usr change is quick and safe, don't worry about it.

On my wife's workstation the update took a bit more work, but that was all down to AMD's ROCm (OpenCL driver) being a pain in the butt.

Quoting: GuppyFor those of you who braved the update - when you to "update manager" -> view -> kernels ( -> make the warning go away ) is 5.15 on the list yet or is it still capped at 5.13 ?
Ubuntu's "hwe-edge" kernel for 20.04 is still 5.13, so that's the latest series available in the default repositories. You'll have to go for something like a mainline kernel if that's not fresh enough.

I've been running xanmod kernels [External Link] (package linux-xanmod-edge) for the last couple of years without issue. Currently 5.15.13, but I suppose it'll be 5.16 soon.
