"or even exceed"
how? in what ways? Are they talking about like, the silicon lottery with undervolting or something?

Quoting: dpanterThe modding support is potentially enormous news.

For sure, I hope we also get an official GUI interface within steam itself to run third party mod loader .exe files inside of a prefix too, then the modding support will really be nice. People shouldn't have to rely on third party stuff like Protontricks to do this.

I would be rooting for them if they have user space open source drivers like AMD. Like we talk of competition but with 2 major players on the field doing that people would be like "well why is Nvidia the only one to not do that?"

Quoting: dibzNot encouraging or arguing with you, was just legit curious and felt like playing with it.

On my current setup where this is happening I am using 2 monitors not 3. One monitor, to my left, is a portrait mode monitor, and the other is my main laptop screen. Warframe spawns in the middle of these, and while I can maximize it on my main monitor, the actual silver in-game cursor only has access to 40% of my screen so I can't click certain menu options. I would record it and show you but I'm on nobara project KDE and that doesn't have an X11 session installed.

I have a 3 monitor setup on my main desktop PC, but this bug with X11 is happening on my laptop. I also never play warframe full screen, I always have it windowed so I can tab away to music players and warframe.market

Quoting: WMan22I'm on Nvidia, so I basically have to use a rolling release distro if I want a good experience. Hence why I'm almost always using either CachyOS or Nobara Project. I'm sure Kubuntu is a great experience for AMD users though. Snaps are a problem though, Valve themselves say not to use the steam snap for example. [External Link]

Are you just using Wayland based distros or something? There is no reason to use a rolling release distro for a good nvidia experience. This belief is typically propagated by users of those distributions.

I know this is kind of a controversial thing to say but like, I have legitimate reasons to kinda need wayland, due to every one of my computer setups having mixed refresh rate multi monitor setups, something that X11 hates.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that Wayland needs a lot more work, it needs screen reader capabilities, it needs color management, it needs multi-window management for stuff like PCSX2, etc. but at its core, even with all the annoying missing stuff, the upside of having multiple monitor setups with different screen refresh rates that simply work with barely any issues negates the downsides of Wayland right now for me.

I play a lot of Warframe, and on X11, it spawns the game window in the middle of my main monitor and my portrait mode monitor no matter what desktop environment I am using, and dragging the window to my main monitor technically works but then the in game cursor can only access 40% of my screen before acting like it's hit my right primary monitor's screen bezel. Wayland does not have this issue. Gamescope fixes this issue in X11, but then I can't open the steam overlay which I make heavy use of for tracking my ducat farming in the notes function and chatting with friends.

tl;dr I understand where you are coming from, however, X11 is not suiting my needs at the moment.

I wonder if this will be enough to pull me away from the feature set Vesktop has. Like, even if they do this, I merely gain push to talk support in chat (I have already gotten used to setting the vocal capture threshold at specific places) but their app is less optimized and I lose plugin functionality like youtube embed fixes, translation, game activity toggle, OpenInApp, reverse image search, WhoReacted, etc.

If this has gyro and 4 grip triggers, I'm gonna buy this so fast valve's accountants are gonna wonder how a money transfer exceeded the speed of light. I am incredibly glad they didn't listen to the people who wanted the touchpads gone.

I have no personal need for this but I absolutely adore that it exists and can't praise it enough because it essentially fights e-waste and follows through on the premise of linux reviving old hardware beyond just making them web browsers, text doc editors, and media servers.

One thing I do wonder however is if this would have any performance gains with specific games even if you do have vulkan 1.3 compliant hardware.

Quoting: WMan22What do they mean by "Support for Display Mode Virtualization", is gamescope built into wine now or something?

It means if the game tries to set fullscreen resolution to something low, Wine will scale that to your display resolution. Except now it's not doing it neatly, placing the result not centered and leaving transparent band on the right if aspect ratio doesn't match. I filed a bug about it. Not sure what gamescope is doing, I'm not using it.

That's kind of disappointing as this kind of display issue is exactly the kind of thing gamescope exists as a band aid for. If it's doing that I see this breaking a few games. A good game to test is Star Wars: Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2, as that game on windows has a menu screen that will display in a tiny 640x480 window while the game itself will run at the proper resolution.
