Playstation 2 Emulator PCSX2 enables Wayland by default
21 Feb 2025 at 2:05 pm UTC
Glad to hear that, considering that they disabled it last year (I think?) due to issues with Wayland. Seems like Wayland's matured enough or the GUI library they're using has finally fixed up their problems.

Glad to see that they're still working on networking! Can't wait to have every game working OOTB.

I also recommend the Fabulously Optimised modpack, which dramatically boosts your performance completely free of charge.

I've heard the open source alternatives to SteamVR like monado and the streaming solutions are kind of catching up well and giving good performance
I just tried some streaming solutions for my Quest 2 out, so I can give you my opinion.

Steam Link: works the best, native integration, zero setup other than downloading an app

Sadly, this one is only available on Windows.

ALVR: works on both Windows and Linux, long list of troubleshooting issues and solutions, open source

Sadly, this one is just not as good as Steam Link, but I'm not sure if that has to do with ALVR itself or Linux having bad VR support. What I can attest to is poor video quality and lots of stuttering.

Quoting: legluondunetDo someone have info about Wine/Proton progress with support for anticheat games that we cannot play on Linux?
This is a barrier for gamers who want to switch to Linux and leave Windows.

Glad to see the 3D side of Godot thriving! There's a few teething issues that are annoying to deal with, but overall I've been happy with how this engine has progressed. I do hope they move back to quarterly releases, though...

Quoting: kuhpunktThe point of a Steam Deck is having a mobile device.
Fair point.

Quoting: kuhpunktI don't see how this makes any sense...

A Steam Deck 2, but plugged in? It looks like it's a PC with a new AMD APU. What does that have to do with the Steam Deck being released in Australia?
Basically, assuming this Steam Machine 2 has nothing to do with VR, its better performance would essentially make the Steam Deck redundant, which would be a shame since it just released in Australia.
