Goverlay for managing tools like MangoHud gets a major new release and it's finally on Flathub

Quoting: benjamimgoisThanks for the post Liam ! GamingonLinux recognition makes a lot of difference.

Goverlay started as a GUI for overlay (mangohud), but the scope got broader. I'm thinking about rebrand the project. Maybe some community feedback / suggestions would be cool.
I like the word conductor for an app like this, as it's managing many parts of a performance. Game Conductor is the obvious choice if that word is included, but I'm sure there are other variations that would work too. I'll admit, Goverlay was a technical enough sounding name that I did not do the research I should have when hearing it for the first time. I assumed this was something lower in the stack that I wouldn't be interested in configuring, but it's quite the opposite and I'll be trying it out immediately!

It's shocking to me that none of these big companies have made the realization of "Hey, you know what would go over really well? Committing to NOT adopting AI in our product." Out of anyone, it should've been Mozilla.

I could see any of these turning out great: just depends on the execution. I'm mostly curious about Tossdown, it has some of those bullet hell survivor vibes but with the twist of 3D and delivery objectives.

At this point I shouldn't be surprised any more when I see that this game is still getting huge updates and reworks, but...dang. It's been over a decade. That's impressive.

Steam Deck Client Beta updated with Mode Shift support in Steam Input

I wish Steam Input could've been released as a separate project. I completely understand why it's a component integrated within Steam, but this tool is just so cool. An input manager as powerful as this that could apply to the entire OS would be amazing. If anyone is aware of something like this, I'd love to know about it.

It's really cool to see release notes from such a major AAA title mention the Steam Deck.

SO close to my perfect machine. Hopefully the Ryzen 6000-series processors don't take much longer to make it to Linux hardware vendors, I'm itching for a 6800H/HS for integrated gaming without the hassle of Nvidia drivers.
