Quoting: MohandevirThis device is just fabulous. It's been over a month since I got it and my desktop has been collecting dust ever since. I don't feel I'll get tired of it, anytime soon. Completed HZD on SD. Rediscovered Blaze Rush which I resumed and finished. Just started new Tomb Raider, Grid (2019) and Witcher 3 runs... Lots of emulation too (never did that much emulation, even with my Rpi). The form factor is just a perfect match, for me. I'm not tied to my desk anymore (which I started to dislike, after long work hours) and not limited by the availability of my living room. Whenever I want, wherever I want, Whatever I want. On top of that SteamOS is so comfy to use... Wow!

Happy to hear that those that didn't get it yet will get it even faster. Thanks Valve!

Just I recived the email yesterday.
Hope I'll find as useful as you. I have bad experience with the n switch, as I have "big hands".
But the deck it's much more versatile.

Quoting: dibzAlternatively I wrote this little bash script to update yuzu (early access) if anyone wants it. Requires jq and curl to be installed.

#!/bin/bash -x
OUTDIR=/home/$USER/apps/appimages

ID=$(curl -s -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/pineappleEA/pineapple-src/releases/latest | jq '.assets | map(select(.name=="yuzu-x86_64.AppImage"))[].id')
curl -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" -L https://api.github.com/repos/pineappleEA/pineapple-src/releases/assets/$ID -o "$OUTDIR/Yuzu.AppImage"
chmod +x "$OUTDIR/Yuzu.AppImage"

This, and I would prefer using the distro package manager, it's easier.
Probably it's because I'm using linux for some years, that I think that using the package manager it's easier than searching on internet for an installer, downloading it, executing it, and follow an assistant.

Quoting: kuhpunktAt 11:33 they are also using a slightly different model. The speaker thingy looks different and the menu buttons at the top are different as well.

It's the same model that you can see at https://www.steamdeck.com/ [External Link] on the video that is playing starwars.
Probably it's one of the last prototypes.

I registered after one or two weeks after the initial date and I have Q3+.
I'm start to worry that when I get one its to obsolete. This chip it's zen2, and amd already has zen3+, and before the end of the year will (probably) have zen4+rdna3 in one chip that surely will be more eficient and powerful.
When steam deck was anuncied it had top of the line technology. Now is starting to be some competition.
But at least steamdeck has linux than the others doesn't have, that gives (for me) a big plus on value.
And its not fair comparing the revenue from steamdeck or a game (even AAA), the steamdeck cost 10x more.

I think that on xorg you can pot the desktop (buffer) on any resolution and scale back to the screen resolution.
And also: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Gamescope-AMD-FSR [External Link]
Here says that gamescope supports fidelity fx and integer scaling.
So, I think that up/down samples as needed.

Quoting: GuestThe troubleshooting bit worries me... it sounds like they didn't try very hard at this port. Hopefully not a bum one that went out the door because of a technicality.

(Or a secret Microsoft plot after the buyout, insert Dr Evil gif)

Of course they didn't try very hard with this port. It's not even a proper GNU+Linux native version, it's the Windows version running in a wrapper iirc. And they're asking for £55 too!

This is simply another studio doing the bare minimum possible to appease the minority of us GNU+Linux gamers.

Maybe we ought to rekindle the "no Tux = no bux" campaign and demand fully native games coded with fully native tools on computers actually running GNU+Linux?

Yes... 59.99€, it's too expensive. For this price it needs a real native version and with a proper box with manual and extras.
I like the first game, but I won't pay more than 20€ for this one.

Quoting: jordicomaNow I'm waiting for "Life is strange: true colors", that it's getting late also.

That one is not getting a Native build it was never said to be.

No, but I'm waiting them to release it.
I bought the last three becouse are native. If they don't I'll consider it only if is on a sale and very cheap.

At last! They made me wait. The first one it's also on linux.
Now I'm waiting for "Life is strange: true colors", that it's getting late also.

Why anyone would play on proton "Beneath a Steel Sky"?. "Beneath a Steel Sky" its freeware and it runs perfectly with scummvm (is where I played this game).
And the sequel "Beyond a steel sky" it has native support.
Well I supose if someone wants it could be run.
