Added support for showing the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch controller equivalents of the Steam button in the footer

Nice! I didn't really expect that. But I didn't expect the letters to transform into shapes when I plugged in my DS3 to my PC (running Steam Beta in Deck UI) either.

Lutris version 0.5.10 brings improved Steam Deck support but no Flatpak yet

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualFlatpak tackles some long-standing distribution issues with GNU/Linux. It's not perfect, but something like it needs to exist in the future in order to deal with these problems that simply don't exist on macOS or Windows.
or SteamOS :grin:

Intel announced the Core i9 12900KS as the 'world's fastest desktop processor'

Quoting: Deleted_UserI don't get the idea behind this. You are willing to get a high-end-CPU for at least x000 $ or € for the purpose of emulating a gaming device from 2006 that you can get for 90 bugs from an refurb seller? And you consider that a rational thought.
A 16-core CPU obviously isn't necessary to emulate PS3 but say if you want 4K 60/120 FPS then it might be necessary.
And I am not planning an upgrade.

This situation sounds to me like this:
"Google vs Microsoft! Round 2! Fight!!"

Quoting: denyasisI was always under the impression that most/many of the Chromebooks were lower powered ARM chipsets? I'm assuming this is for x86 systems only?
Steam for ChromeOS is only for a few select devices, the reauitements for Steam on ChromeOS is i5/i7 CPU and 7 GB RAM. So very few of the Chromebooks.
