Quoting: AllocWas waiting for the day to come. Unfortunately IMHO they missed two important opportunities for the 500: Regular HDMI sockets and - even more important these days - a fully featured USB-C that not only powers the RPi but also provides DP alt mode and USB host functions so you can really just plug this thing into a screen / USB-dock with just one cable and everything would be ready.
Still nice to see they do refresh the RPi x00 series from time to time so maybe a 600 will do that :)

They stopped using the regular HDMI socket since the Raspberry Pi 3 models and it doesn't look like they'll bring it back anytime soon. However, I do agree with you on the fully featured USB-C.

Quoting: EriThis is the F2P MP game that supposedly has a remaster of the original Black Hawk Down campaign inside, right? I wonder how are they going to monetize that or if it will be playable during the MP open beta. I have fond memories of the PS2 game.

Yes, that's correct and this is probably why they delisted the original Black Hawk Down earlier this year.

I'm guilty of paying for these every time it comes up and sometimes, I get games like Doom 2016 and Sniper Elite 5 for every junk game they give.

Quoting: Leahi84Do you think SteamOS would ever be a viable desktop distro?

If they continue the immutable OS route, then it won't be a viable desktop distro. If that's what you want, then you're more likely to look into something like Bazzite, ChimeraOS, Nobara, CachyOS or any other SteamOS like distro.

Quoting: Phlebiac"Retired" is the PR spin; the board forced him out. It's also been said these are likely the last discrete GPUs, as Intel is looking to cut costs, and it will take a lot more investment for them to actually compete.

I might be wrong but didn't Intel lay off some people recently in the Battlemage and GPU division?

Quoting: ShabbyXSomeone should write an open-source engine for warcraft 1 and 2!

Funny you said that because ElamanOpiskelija just mentioned about a C&D by Blizzard to an open source Warcraft project.

This game looks like a bunch of assets and mechanics ripped from Horizon and if that's the case, then this game might not be there for long if and when Sony sue them for it.

Are you curious to know what games with anti-cheat are playable? I'm currently building up our own dedicated curated list on that to help you. See more details in my forum post (please leave all comments on that in there).

Another list you can check out as well is Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? [External Link] but not sure how often they update it.

Quoting: HobbesHKThe big one for me is support for the latest Realtek network drivers. I just got a new PC and absolutely splurged on it. I'm running a swanky new Ryzen 7 9800X3D on a X870E motherboard with 32Gb DDR5 RAM, a 7800XT graphics card, but no Linux distro has network working on install! A quick Google showed me that kernel drivers were coming in 6.12.

So I had to revert back to Windows 10. Which... is REALLY not where I want to be with this fancy machine. So hoping Bazzite will jump to Linux 6.12 very soon, since I'm keen to give that distro a try!

I can see your new PC screaming for a Linux gaming distro right now with that awesome configuration. :grin:

Quoting: MrDerbyEA can DIE! After they fix their games.

Well, EA would rather add anticheat software to break Linux/Steam Deck Proton compatibility before they'd fix their games.
