Quoting: ArehandoroSteam OS Holo has -2.46%, is that a typo or are people removing Steam OS to to install other distros?

It just means less Steam Deck machines were apart of this recent survey.

You should add individual links to each Steam Tracker graph.

For people using some form of Wine / Proton in Lutris you can add WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY with a value of 1 as an environment variable in the system options inside a Wine runner you're using.

Also works great for Bottles too.

<battle.net bottle>->Options->Settings->Compatibility->'Environment Variables'

Prior to this tip. As a work around I opened the file explorer for the bottle and deleted the battle.net.14542 version under the battle.net installation directory.

I switched a few years back. I vaguely remember giving up a few things that weren't really that important to me. Wayland has been working well ever since.

Quoting: RaySoundI hope it will be synchronized with the Blizzard account

Looks like it does Synchronize. I installed the free to play. Pretty sure I already linked my Steam account with my Battle.net account when installing Overwatch 2. I brought up D4, it logged into the full game, all my characters. Started the game with my current character. Immediately was booted. Achievements were automatically applied. I tried the game again, logged into current character again and the game played fine. If you have D4 purchased on Battle.net then it's worth installing the Free To Play and getting it all synced up. I don't have any DLC and I only bought the regular game on Battle.net so I can only speak for the base game. The Steam store now makes it look like I bought the game thus far. Guess we will see how it all pans out when the Free to Play time is up on Steam.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAs usual, my takeaway from this kind of thing is, we need to get the Chinese using Linux.

I think we need to take a page from our Indian brothers and sisters.

Quoting: fenglengshunI usually launch it something like this: `gamescope -w 1477 -h 831 -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -o 30 -f -F fsr --sharpness 10 --expose-wayland -- mangohud --dlsym %command%`.

I see. Looks like gamescope is not part of the steam package yet. Hopefully soon they'll have it altogether so it's as seamless as the SteamDeck experience.

Quoting: fenglengshunOh, nice. Does having both gamescope and mangohud on at the same time works btw? There's a lot of times where this doesn't work, for some reason.

When you say Gamescope do you mean Big Picture? If so, yes that's how I used it. I didn't try any special MangHud config though.

The way I understand it, Gamescope is a specialized Wayland compositor for SteamDeck and looks like BigPicture.

Quoting: fenglengshun

Quoting: HighballI don't know how to enable MangoHud except the Steam Deck way. I don't use it normally. Maybe that does already work out of the box.

Usually, I just install mangohud, and then add an environment variable or invoke the command in launch options.

Ahhh, I looked up the mangohud repo. From the instructions there, I put this mangohud %command% in the launch options. Then the mangohud overlayed the game. So I can confirm that mangohud does in fact come with the snap and works. Not as seamless as the SteamDeck. But MangoHud is there for sure.
