GPD WIN 4 handheld plans to support Valve's SteamOS in 2025 (updated: nope)

I like the sliding screen/keyboard feature, myself. The 1080p resolution is kinda overkill for a 6 inch screen though.

Besides, Steam Deck targeted optimizations usually benefit everyone with older or less powerful PCs,

This is what matters to me!

Quoting: Jarmer110 gb patch. That's just absurd, are you basically just redownloading the entire game?

My thoughts, exactly.

Sure. Put Steam into offline mode.

Yep. As a strictly offline gamer, I can confirm this.

Linux Mint 22.1 Beta released with Cinnamon 6.4 desktop and lots of Wayland improvements

Quoting: legluondunetDebian and Debian-like distributions are not, to my experience, the best Linux distribution for gaming, their packages are not enough often updated and lack libraries dependencies. Arch and Aur are the way to follow for Linux gamers, SteamOS is ARCH based.
For the DE I suggest a light one to keep your resources for gaming, like XFCE.

My experience has been the opposite of yours. I find Arch-based distributions to be unstable, difficult to configure and the AUR to be potentially risky. Being up-to-date is not all it is cracked up to be, especially in regards to stability and inter-compatibility. I prefer the stability and broader market support I get from Ubuntu-based distros myself. Pop!_OS being an excellent compromise as a semi-rolling distribution.

I do agree about XFCE, however.

Xfce 4.20 desktop released with experimental Wayland support
16 Dec 2024 at 5:37 pm UTC

Do you use Xfce? If so, why do you use it and not others like KDE and GNOME?

I use Cinnamon for daily driving; XFCE and GNOME (Pop!_OS variant) for gaming.

I am quite impressed with XFCE. It is lightweight, highly customizable and stable.

I like KDE but find it to be unstable on Nvidia Optimus, so I don't use it.

In no hurry for Wayland -- it will come when it comes.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a party-based RPG from the devs of ATOM RPG now in Early Access
15 Dec 2024 at 7:09 pm UTC

That's what I hate about Early Access -- the demo just stopped working (no license) -- before I even had a chance to play it for more than 10 minutes. :sad:
Teaches me for putting it off, I guess. I'm not going to pay to beta test the game so I don't know why they can't leave the demo up as well.

The Witcher IV revealed with Ciri as the protagonist
15 Dec 2024 at 6:59 pm UTC

Wow. Rarely do I find a reveal trailer to be as compelling as this one. I'm sure that this game won't run on my laptop, but that's okay, I am happy for those of you that do have the necessary hardware. If the game lives up to the promise of this trailer, it's gonna be awesome.
