Quoting: drlambIf you're okay with running a beta release of Fedora you can already upgrade to Fedora 36 and get GNOME 42. The official beta release iso should be coming tomorrow.

I just used this documentation to upgrade to fc36 pre-release: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/ [External Link]

If I understood it correctly it put me on some branch where I am on fc36 now and I won't even need to do another upgrade from beta to release because if the branch becomes stable dnf will do that for me.

Dark mode looks good, I like the dual wallpaper thing.

May need to switch back to Xorg though, vscode is not working in Wayland unless you --enable-features=Vulkan which will get overwritten on every code update. But that's only a selection on login anyway :D.

I am not really sure but I think we see a downside of client side window decorations now where a lot of apps do not respect the adwaita theming, thus making apps look even more out of place if they have not been updated and having white title bars instead of using dark ones.

Or just GTK themes are not applied properly for dark mode.

I've had no issues upgrading to a beta release in my years of using Fedora.

Thought about it already, have to read into how to upgrade to beta or in general fedora releases (I am pretty new to Fedora), I am currently reluctant to reinstall again.

But if I am not mistaken it's less than a month away from release, I think my eyes probably will survive that. Maybe. Hopefully.

Did so. I just switched to Gnome this month to give it a fair shot. Now I can't wait for 42, missing real dark mode :-(.

And Valve reportedly stopped payouts to Ukraine developers.

That really put them on my bad side now. I hope they remedy that soon, I'd dislike to have to stop using Steam.

Well, I agree that a lot is not in Wine is not needed for games, and I always hoped for a lighter version for that use case.

That said, the biggest issue are the really bad game launchers. Game devs are not application developers and it shows. And thats something Stadia will most likely never allow, so the approach can help them, but very lilely will have little impact for the rest of us.

3 devs does not sound a lot, but can be a lot if you only solve a certain subset of issues.

They probably can ignore a lot of system interaction wine has to build.

A few hundred thousand lines of code sounds a lot especially if more complex, but it really must not be in this case.

From scratch... hmh, that's interesting. I do not think they really will do a complete reimplementation of the windows API, that's a huge task.

I am ingrigued, but I have my doubts. But let's see the talk.

I'd like if they put that open source, I think wine/proton do a good job, but if they have an acr up their sleves it would be nice.

I doubt that it will be open source, but who knows.

Ohj that's a cute one. Didn't know it. I'll buy that in the evening.

Quoting: STiATThey will be doing a TF2 update. I am pretty sure about that, but since they flagged it only playable, it's certeinly coming after the release, but they will do it. Most likely just too much to do to get it in time.

That's some wishful thinking right there.

I do not think so. I do not even play TF, but valve has a record of bringing their IPs very late to new engines and often still rely on outdated features which are pretty much deprecated even using the current engine (or things which were in place since former engines did not support it and they never migrated to the capabilities provided on the new engine), in end they always did it, late, often years later but they did.

It will not take years this time. The time invested and devs are peanuts for Valve, and they do have a reason to do so.

They do not have contracts for the IPs for SteamDeck. I think it's as simple as that.

A lot of the games they ported would be a good experience on steamdeck. But that would require the publishers to agree for the revenue cut to go to feral, without that it makes no sense for them.

And supporting steamos 3 .. seriously is a non issue technically.
