Quoting: MohandevirBlablabla... "For the customers freedom of choice".... Blablabla... Yeah right!

From my end, as a customer, everything is fine with Steam, but I understand, from what is being reported, that true quality indie developers are being drowned in shovelwares. That's the real issue. It all comes down to how much copies they are selling on Steam. Maybe Steam should think of a way to curate all that shovelware and remove all the noise that it causes in the discovery algorythms? Maybe there is just too much games on Steam?

All I know it's that, from my customer's point of view, there are two quality stores... Steam and GoG. I won't buy from anywhere else in the near futur... Maybe itch and in extreme cases, Stadia.

The regular game festivals is meant to help with that.

Is it enough?

Quoting: [email protected]There is an acceptable solution, even quite good in my opinion.
Take a close look at this Internet-Address:
------------
https://github.com/ShadowApex/steamos-ubuntu/blob/master/install.sh [External Link]
--------
After that you can install the Steamos-Compositor Plus from GamerOS

..yours ..iVAN..

This does in fact look truely promising, thanks a lot for that! I really have to give it a try eventually (soon).

Not only promising, this works very good, first I was a bit sceptic to have always the latest mesa/vulkan git installed, but in practice the system and the Games (native and proton) are performing very well..!

... And go figure why, if you replace the GDM3 greeter with Lightdm (probably a permission issue with GDM3), then add a user account named "desktop" and add user "desktop" to the nopasswdlogin group, the BPM "switch to desktop" option will work exactly like in SteamOS. Personnally I like/prefer that option, when I have issues with BPM's bluetooth or sound setup (personnal experience).

Quoting: GuestAs far as I'm aware, the interfaces for Stadia aren't public knowledge, and are probably NDA'd by Google. So nobody can really create a Stadia runtime that way.

Even if SDL2 is used and some non-public branch provided, there's still likely a few things Stadia specific. A game wouldn't be binary compatible on a desktop.

Buzzkill! :wink:

Quoting: MohandevirI'm just wondering what could be done with a Stadia build, whitout the api and some way to run it?

Maybe "we" could implement some kind of "Stadia-Runtime" that can be used in any distro.

I have no doubt that the Linux community would find a way, but would Google ever consider this before pulling the plug? I was thinking about the other 98% (total guess) of Stadia users that know nothing about Linux. What would be in it for them?

Quoting: NanobangWill Google leave the Stadia spigot on just enough for game owners to access their games? Will game owners be able to download their games just before Google pulls the Stadia plug? Or will Stadia just not be there one day, a sign on the Stadia door that says "Gone Fishing."?

Lol! Your guess is as good as mine. :grin:

The other solution is to use a vanilla Ubuntu and slap SteamOS-Compositor, Steamos-Compositor+ on top of it. That's what I do, atm, I'm waiting for the GamerOS installer to be updated so that it recognizes my ethernet card (Asus TUF Gaming B550m requires Linux 5.11).

Theres is no difference between the Stadia model and the Playstation's, except that Stadia doesn't require you to pay 500$-600$ upfront for the hardware that you will probably change when the new generation comes out, every 5 or 6 years. Still, the Playstations are the most sold consoles. The PS5 is even outselling the PS4, atm.

Like it was said in another post, for me too, the real issue with Stadia is if it goes offline... The subscription model is nothing that's not been done elsewhere and successfully (same as PS+).

I'm wondering if the advertised "looking for partnership" couldn't translate into some form of Steam Linux/Proton games on Stadia, eventually.

One may dream...
