As I did with every other Epic exclusives, I'll wait for the Steam release and then decide.

This strategy saved me from buying bad games, a couple of times. :smile:

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: PenglingSony/BMG then unironically went on to infringe on the copyrights of various GPL'ed projects [External Link] and then used pirated software within the company [External Link], with as much as 47% of what they were using at the time believed to have been pirated.

Ever notice how those who fuss the loudest usually end up being guilty of what they are fussing about?

Yup! Because they are doing it, they assume everybody is doing the same. Kind of a way to normalize their behaviour?

Forgot about that... I should have held back from buying Jedi Survivor.

Will it suffer the same fate?

Quoting: gaboverstaIf I was a decision maker I would not ship manjaro. A distro that $equires enduse$s to read the release notes will not go down well with people jslust buying a handheld.
But having trackpads is an excellent choice. This device looks like it solves th$ee of the reasons why I have not bought any steam deck competitors: No windows, yes Trackpads.
Should they now arrange for me suddenly not having a steam deck there will be questions.

You are right, but OrangePi, like RaspberryPi, are not targeting the masses. Those are thinkerers oriented companies. Manjaro is a good fit with this mindset, but is a handheld a good hardware platform for thinkerers? I'm not sure, but we will see...

Ooooh... Nice! This one picks my interest. Let's wait and see the reviews, but the hardware side is pretty interesting. It's possible to install gamescope and gamescope-session on Manjaro. Not a bad choice.

ChimeraOS is pretty awesome. The maintainer is doing a top notch job; I tried it from time to time, but unfortunately I couldn't find a convenient way to configure the Dolphin emulator. That's the main reason why I stick to Holoiso on my "couch gaming pc" (Emudeck and Steam Rom Manager supported). That's the way I like it.

They keep on listening to the wrong people. The Steam Deck's success is a proof of that. Handheld gaming is not the same as pure PC gaming. What they are now offering is a degraded user experience on an under powered hardware.
Oh well, shame on them.

For my part, the Steam Deck is the only true PC handheld. All others are badly executed and pale imitations. Probably the 3millions+ who bought the Steam Deck and stuck with SteamOS are thinking the same.

I don't know if it's linked to this update, but since yesterday, Witcher 3 keeps on crashing in the glossary menu. No matter what I do, I get a hard freeze. Tried on my Steam Deck and my computer with Holoiso. Tried deleting the proton files. Tried validating game files. Switched to proton experimental & Hotfix. Hard freeze every time.

Edit: DX12 issue. At least, the DX11 version runs fine.

Thank you, but no thank you.

I have no trust in EA or Ubisoft. It all comes down to this.

I much prefer to buy my games on Steam and still be able to play them tens of years later. I Never lost access to a game on Steam yet, even if it is not available for purchase anymore (one such example is Dirt Showdown).
