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

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.

But do they have Pluton?

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.

I'm honestly surprised how out of date the Arch base is in SteamOS 3.0. Certainly not what I had in mind when they initially announced that SteamOS 3.0 would be Arch-based last July.

Thank for the responses to my earlier question.

Can I just give credit to the Arch Linux developers/maintainers for quickly spotting this issue and patching it? They sure handled this promptly.

I am not a software developer or a progammer; I am just a regular computer user. So please do not get angry at me for asking this, as I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

But wouldn't running games, and programs/applications in general, inside containers fix this kind of issue? Isn't that one of the goals of Flatpak?

Here is his full speech (+/- 6 minutes), including rant on glibc. It's eight years old now.

I've seen this video before. It's certainly aged well.

Dokyusei needs its audio loop fixed more than anything else.

Quoting: jrepinWith Flatpak some plugins don't work (like Plasma Integration and KeepassXC) and it is slower and bloated

While the former is true, the latter hasn't been my experience.

I can only speculate as to why Valve switched Firefox to the Flatpak is because it's less maintenance for them. A lot of packages in SteamOS 3.0, I've noticed, are quite out of date. Valve likely prioritizes Arch packages that are necessary for gaming, but nothing else.
