Insanely useful feature, means the one downside of using Vesktop over regular Discord is gone now. Hope there's toggle functionality and also "push to mute" functionality where the mic has default behavior of being always on except when you're holding a button.

Absolutely love to see it. Virtual desktops and overlay applications are a highly under-represented and underrated feature of VR, back when I was on windows, I would often pick one of the coziest spots I could find in VRChat to watch a movie. Hell, I watched Serial Experiments Lain in a room modeled after Lain's room.

Some would call this a novelty, I disagree, it would increase immersion like 10 fold if it weren't for the weight of my valve index on my face, so I'd often settle for 5 fold instead. Still an upgrade in overall mood and atmosphere of whatever I was watching.

YESSS

I was affected by this bug across multiple distros, finally no more clicking Manually Block Screen and Sleep locking.

The GST Video orientation thing is great because I know of a game in my library that plays stuff fine but upside down.

@R Daneel Olivaw
I use it as a WINE manager for abandonware games, because it is the only wine manager GUI I know of that has easy access to a 2 click full backup into a zip, hence why I use it despite my general dislike of GTK+Adwaita as a theming framework as a KDE user myself. I wish more wine GUI managers had that, heck, if Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher got that feature I'd probably never install bottles again, especially since Bottles Next is gonna be moving to Electron, and like I'm not gonna hold my breath for Unreal Engine 5 to have a truly well optimized game, I'm not gonna hold my breath for an electron app to run well or be not buggy.

I'm still waiting for that PC port of The Darkness that Stephen Kick once said was "ON THE LIST".

@rea987 For this specific game? I have no idea. I don't own it. I know it works for some other games I have though.

It actually has a Native Linux version, but last I checked it was tweaked specifically for the Steam Deck, with no graphics options so it's all pre-set.

I wish game developers would stop doing this, alongside no longer bundling graphics settings with their cloud save.
It's better to have a
"These are the graphics settings tested and optimized for steam deck. Changing them will have adverse effects on your performance. Are you sure you want to change your graphics settings?"
warning than just outright locking off the settings. Thank heavens that Valve added the SteamDeck=0 option.

Bottles is like the only WINE GUI app I've seen that has the one click "full backup" option which is why I ignore how much I hate how GNOME-centric apps look due to just having a feature I consider irreplaceable.

If a KDE themed app did exactly what bottles did, I'd switch to that. I wish Lutris had the full wine prefix backup feature bottles has. Which is apprently considered in issue #1451 on the github but the last post about it was in February.

...Man do I miss Gradience.

Proton in my experience is straight up better for source mods. I just wish VAC worked in it, Left 4 Dead 2 is pretty much busted on CachyOS right now.
