Quoting: The_Real_BittermanHm, Steam Deck 2 might be ARM based I guess. 🤔

I wouldn't count on it. Valve has a very good relationship with AMD and I don't see another vendor provide an ARM chip with similar gaming performance. But maybe for a Steam Deck 3?

Is NTsync stable now or is Fsync still the way to go?

I really love TW: Warhammer (all 3 games), but I stopped playing it after switching to Steam Deck as the 3 is unsupported and runs really badly.

Maybe when I switch from Steam Deck to something else I will get back to it.

I also quit but I have over 1000 hours in WH2 and a little over half of that in WH3. They are really good games and run well with Proton, but CA really let the AI degrade and is now in a state of disrepair. WH2 has it's faults but it was at least challenging in the first 50 turns, but WH3 is a snooze fest. I really hope they get it to a better state before the last DLC or at least give the community better tools to maintain it.

They really should look at Paradox for inspiration on how to give options to make the campaigns more interesting.

I’m really confused here… x)

Basically it's really confusing messaging from AMD and people assume the worst. But as the dust settles and we have seen a clarification of the clarification from AMD, it all ends up being a nice juicy nothing burger. But don't expect RDNA 1 & 2 to get FSR 4 INT8.

It's features like this I would like to see in SteamOS for PC. And "wake PC with Steam mobile app" to download a purchased app then turn off again.

Speaking as an owner of a RX 6800 I'm not very worried that RDNA 2, the same chip that's in two consoles and the Steam Deck, will loose support.

"New features, bug fixes and game optimizations will continue to be delivered as required by market needs in the maintenance mode branch," an AMD spokesperson told Tom's Hardware [External Link]

The best thing one can do for performance on ununtu is to get rid of snaps.

The snaps version of microsoft edit was reported (by omgubuntu) to take 5 seconds to start on modern system.

This is simply not true anymore and you need to update your sources. It was true maybe 5 years ago but today the difference between native packages, flatpaks and snaps are negligible if we talk about startups after the first-time launch. Canonical has made very nice [External Link] changes [External Link] to snaps over the years.

In reality this article has very little to do with snaps. I would be very pleased with this change if I was still on Ubuntu.

Love these improvements. I have been lucky as the game has been remarkably stable on my system. I have seen the performance drop lately though so it's good to see them addressing it.
