I dislike NVIDIA, and will never buy any of their GPUs.

However, I do think this is good news.

SteamOS and Steam Deck on top for Linux in the Steam Hardware Survey

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: CyborgZetaInteresting that Ubuntu's back in 2nd place, and both Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Mint have disappeared entirely.
Ubuntu was in first place last month.

That's not what it showed for August, based on Liam's last survey article.

It was SteamOS followed by Arch, according to this. Unless, of course, you're combining Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 and just ranking "Ubuntu". Steam treats different Ubuntu releases as separate, as do I, but eh. It's not something worth arguing over.

I absolutely love KDE and Plasma, and I'm glad Valve is helping to show them to a wider audience.

Google gives up on Stadia, will offer refunds on games and hardware

I wish all Cloud gaming would die.

Call me a dinosaur, insult me, whatever. I don't care. I will never accept streaming games from someone else's hardware, in addition to the "always online" mandate. People who mandate an Internet connection are people who've never had to deal with a spotty connection.

EA AntiCheat could spell trouble for Steam Deck / Linux

Could this be retroactively added to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition? If not, I don't care; I hate EA.

Linux user share on Steam continues the slow climb, SteamOS rises

I don't think I've gotten the survey on my Steam Deck yet, but I have gotten it on my PC, where I'm using the Flatpak runtime.

And speaking of the Flatpak runtime, the freedesktop SDK recently updated to 22.08 so the Steam Flatpak now has access to Mesa 22.

Valve testing new mobile Steam app with QR codes for sign ins
25 Aug 2022 at 4:19 pm UTC

So if I'm understanding this right, the new phone app comes with QR scanning you can use to log into said phone app...by scanning it with your phone. I could understand desktop Steam providing a QR code for scanning, but how do you scan the phone one if it's on your phone? I'm sure I've missed something really obvious here, so I hope a smarter one than I comes along to explain.
