Quoting: PatrickHoganIMO the inevitable result is going to be within a week or 2.
EAC was already bypassed when it was in beta, which is a 24 hour period.

Oh my... The backslash is HUGE! So huge that VRChat is hardly an important game anymore.

You can now get Halo Infinite online to work on the Steam Deck

Quoting: ElectricPrismThe day has finally come. Does anyone know the install size? I'm assuming 100G which is steep but to try H:I I wouldn't be opposed.

Edit: I laugh at the coolness of being able to have Halo Deck Party
23 GiB base game, 8 GiB HD textures for multiplayer. Base game does not include campaign.

Quoting: TermyOpen Source Friendly and Nvidia Graphics don't really fit together...
They don't?
Not yet in my opinion. The open source drivers are not even mainlined so you have to install them seperately, like installing closed source drivers. Installation is just slightly easier ie. Secure boot is less of a problem.
Also the open drivers have some problems that are unexistent in closed source like broken NvEnc and in my case, broken suspend.
Not to mention that graphics stack is not open sourced, instead pushed into the firmware.
Even GOL statistics show that <%2 of users use open source drivers for Nvidia GPUs.

Sure, the open sourcing of drivers is a step forward but we are far away from finish line, so going all AMD is still very sensible.

Unreal Engine 5 editor quietly gets a proper Linux version

Quoting: elmapulany chance of getting this running into SteamDeck/steamOS ?
Your biggest barrier would be read only filesystem. Honestly I would just use container / VM for installation, if Unreal needs to modify system directories like /opt. If it installs anywhere under /home, you can install it perfectly fine because /home isn't read only.

Valve warns about Steam Deck temperatures, plus a Deck Beta Update out

Quoting: BlackBloodRumIt would be cool to see how regular Linux is on this thing, as I plan to do this myself at some point
We know Valve upstreamed drivers for everything (except controller, maybe) so it should be possible. Luke Short (dev of winesapOS) has uploaded SteamOS stuff to AUR, if you are interested.

Tesla to demo Steam for more in-car gaming soon using Linux & Proton

Quoting: MayeulCNow if the steering wheel can be used as a controller when stopped, that would make for a neat car sim rig. Just pair it with a VR headset for extra immersion :)

AYANEO to have their own AYANEO OS based on Linux
18 Jul 2022 at 12:01 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestSteamOS will always be biased towards Steam.
which is exactly why I desperately want to download Ayaneo OS. SteamOS has good Steam imtegrations, but what if Aya has not only Steam but also Epic, GOG, Origin etc. integrations? What if they have created the ultimate Lutris?
