I doubt its usefulness when gamescope is running nested ie. inside your desktop environment.

Quoting: ShmerlI don't expect Nvidia to ever fix their issues with Wayland
They actually fixed 2 issues that occur on Wayland: Vulkan not working with Wayland AT ALL (appeared and resolved in a vulkan beta driver) and lack of explicit sync. (fixed for only prime systems)

Graphics Pipeline Library support in AMD and Intel drivers. Nvidia fixing their driver issues, especially ones related to Wayland.
Controversial opinion: Inclusion of an Android-like official<->rooted system in SteamOS so actual kernel level anticheats and L1 Widevine (for 4K Netflix and others) can be ported to Linux.

On my laptop keyboard LEDs draw ~4W which decreases battery life a lot for me. (2.5 hr -> 2 hr) On a desktop where your GPU pulls 300W? Leds are very innocent.

The Steam Deck needs exclusives, but it already has many of them. Superb community support, desktop mode, the ability of installing external software, easy emulation setup and so on. Exclusives don't have to be games.

Vulkan Video 1.0 released with the Vulkan 1.3.238 spec update

Quoting: Robert_ThompsonIf they can write a wrapper to implement the Windows video APIs using this, then it could help quite a lot for any game that shows video cutscenes!
Now you made me excited. If these Vulkan extensions can make use of distro-provided H.264-H.265 libraries then video playback issues will be a thing of the past. For some distros at least.
