Steam desktop and Steam Deck get a fresh stable update

Quoting: poiuzWhat's the state of VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library on Steam Deck with Proton 8? Is it always enabled or must I manually add RADV_PERFTEST=gpl?
Check the Mesa version used by the Deck? It's been enabled by default starting with 23.1.0.

Wine 8.13 is out now with plenty of bug fixes

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis wine version comes with Wow64 support in WineGStreamer (could affect cinematics), however once stay avalaible ubuntu packages add more info

In this case I think it refers to the new experimental WoW64 mode. So no changes unless you build Wine with --enable-archs which isn't used by default yet, I think.

Quoting: drjomsSo they removed FSR before, or?
It needed rework for the move to Proton 8 and was disabled. From the previous release notes:

"FSR is currently disabled again. It needs a massive rebase and same as before I don't know if it's currently possible to rebase/port it over to the new proton 8 build."

Quoting: ShmerlHmm, seems it's enabled by default?

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/blob/master/configure#L4420
It's not hooked up yet.

This is the missing bit needed for the waylanddrv driver to be loaded and used instead of winex11:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/alf/wine/-/commit/4db0008a36fd424cac274447d8b4517d8b8055aa
It has yet to be merged in upstream Wine.

Applying that works. It's just that other interesting bits, like actually interacting with a Wayland window have yet to be merged!

I dunno. Sure their posts are swiftly written, but going back in time and exterminating ancient copyright violators actually seems like a modest proposal.

Athlete's foot. But I'm not sure if it's caused by the sale..?

Kidding aside. I did snatch up the four free DLCs for Dirt Rally 2.0!
