Probably Stadia v2 with Google's streaming tech and Valve's Proton. Pay a subscription and get to stream the games you own on Steam plus a predetermined aet of games.

The problem with Steam Deck boot video is that it plays after boot is completed ie. you can "patch out" the boot loader and your boot time will decrease. Otherwise, PS1 intro is 20 secs but no one cares about that because it plays during boot.
Also Deck probably has long boot time because boot includes starting Steam which takes quite a bit.

"missing endbr" (the issue which needs ibt=off kernel parameter to fix) still not fixed.

Quoting: scaineHow is it that Android-based players, such as the Amazon FireTV boxes, which are based on Linux (the kernel), can play 4K streams from Netflix and Prime?

Widevine (the DRM) supports highest level protection in Android, but only if the device meets certain requirements. On Linux we only have lovest level which is software only. Just like Linux, a lot of Android devices are limited to low resolutions because they don't have necessary hardware.

Time to switch from Chaotic AUR -git packages to kde-unstable repo.

IMO the problem with Rust is that Linux playerbase is tiny. I remember that they shared user stats where Windows was 200K, Mac was 1-2K and Linux was a shy 200. The ratio (%0.1) doesn't correlate with Steam stats (%1) so the playerbase is really tiny. Also they expect cheat makers to switch to Linux which makes everything worse.
Apparently they are still considering it, enough to switch to EOS EAC but still have doubts. Maybe a few more hundred thousand Steam Decks could resolve their doubts.

Quoting: Stevencheating is as bad as ever

If cheating is bad as ever, I don't think Linux would make it worse:grin:

I did my part. I hope Bungie sorts this out for once and for all.

So create wineprefix, install launcher, install game, done. That simple. Wow.
Hopefully the shader cache issues will be resolved as graphics pipeline library extensions make it to the stable drivers.

Quoting: ShmerlDo you mean this firmware already works with current nouveau kernel module or it needs that custom (not upstreamed) open kernel module from Nvidia still?

Actually, the new firmware is intended to be used by nouveau but instead of that we got a new driver using the firmware, because apparently starting from scratch is easier than refactoring nouveau.
The "kernel module" part is used as reference, not directly.
At least this is what I understood.
