Quoting: eevWhatever the price may be, I'm hoping Valve can at least make the new Machine a very stable experience with all the lessons learned through the Deck and with these updates. We should all care a bit more about the easy on boarding for people unfamiliar with Linux and PCs perhaps, especially in keeping performance up.I agree. Even if the Steam Machine turns out a failure, the software improvements will hopefully be a huge boon for Linux distros.

Quoting: benjamimgoisThanks for the post Liam ! GamingonLinux recognition makes a lot of difference.I always thought the 'G' stood for Gaming. TIL :) Now that it's more of a collection or gathering of tools maybe a name change is prudent? I would probably keep the G to keep it a little recognizable.
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.

Quoting: _wojtekThat's a weird argument. Building on the work of others is like the whole stick of open-source.Quoting: dpanterSnap? Uh, no. No thanks.Cannonical is just annoying… What's more - it's not like they created something exceptionally new, they just want to ride the hype wave on something that mostly other created…

Quoting: scaineYou said it. Although I have promised myself to stop when No Rest for the Wicked releases their co-op update. Maybe I will manage to get to Arbiter by then? :) I love Poe2 but as it stands it's simply not a good multiplayer experience.Quoting: BrokattFor once I actually played most of the games on the list. It's very positive that almost all games are indie and not AAA.One does not simply stop playing Path of Exile 2...
Silksong was an experience to play. Looking forward to the DLC unless that one also develop into it's own game just because Team Cheery can't stop themselves ;) Both Peak and RV there yet have been a blast with friends. Baldurs Gate 3 have gotten classes, cut scenes and even a Linux port since release. I haven't finished Dispatch yet but the story is interesting. I will get around to Clair Obscur, Arc Raiders, Hades II and Silent Hill f at some point. If I can only stop playing Path of Exile 2...

Quoting: scaineIt may be something unique for Steam Controller? I will post a pic when I get home. It's similar to the one @mr-victory linked to.Quoting: BrokattGreat! Looking forward to february.The what now?? Is that a Plasma window, or a Steam one? Got a screenshot?
Anyone knows if they removed the annoying window that popus up every time you start a controller, requiring you to give permission to the controller to actually control things?

Quoting: Tethys84Quoting: rea987Sorry, but COMPLETELY disagree with you. That argument is BS and EXTREMELY TIRED at this point. Move on already. You people are so f***ing ridiculous. I'm done with these conversations. I have better things to do, like trying to find reasons to keep living in a world that's completely falling apart more and more every day when I turn on the news.Quoting: Tethys84I think BG3 winning Labor of Love is absolute BS. No Man's Sky has been releasing FREE expansions every year, sometimes multiple. I can't see BG3 having done anything deserving that award. 100% feel like people just vote for what's trending.Literally lying the people about the features of the game before the release, then subsequently adding them years later is not labor of love. It is called BS. No Man's Sky was released such a bare bones state that they had to use stickers on physical copies to cover non-existed features. I would call those free expansions lawsuit evasion at best.
BG3 devs kept listening its community, improving the game by the feedback and even offered a native Steam Deck port. Here is gamingonLINUX, ofc will care the game and its dev who cared them in the first place. Not to mention, almost all previous games in the series were updated for modern OS and received Linux native port. Now, THAT'S dedication.
Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch'

Truth is there is no new information here compare to the previous statement from Mozilla. AI should be optional and easy to turn off.

Quoting: BumadarIt's part of the zeitgeist. Everything is black and white. There is no middle-ground on anything from politics, conflicts, tech or weird celebrity comments.Quoting: CentrisToo late. Already got rid of FF.Maybe I am of an older generation, but why this on/off view?
Mozilla says they going to do AI in the future somewhere, it's not clear exactly how or what this exactly means or how it will be incorporated but you drop it like a hot potato and suddenly overnight they are evil.
The world is many shades of gray, not just black and white, see how it onfolds and then take a decision.
