I like what I see in this game because it really does remind me of Golden Axe and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara from what they mentioned in their press release.

Good to see Godot continuing to get more new features and improvements out to go toe to toe with other game engine software.

I'd imagine most devs/publishers do not actually support Deck/Linux. It's nice when they do, though.

@rivalary
This is why Proton exist since most of these devs/publishers aren't going out of their way to support Linux natively and Valve and their partners are the ones that do the heavy lifting to make these games work on Linux/Steam Deck using Windows builds.

We seriously need to get China on board with Linux. Don't they even have their own distro? You'd think not having a US company spy on their data would be a serious selling point.

@belisama
I remember back in the 2000's, they had Red Flag Linux but it didn't take off and based on what mphuZ said, it looks like they're going to use HarmonyOS NEXT now.

I'm kind of at a loss to how awful this product launch is. This seems like a MASSIVE swing and a miss from framework, and I adore them for their laptops. This is extremely disappointing to me. They made a really expensive NUC, but even shittier than an actual nuc.

- no gpu
- soldered on cpu (wtf!)
- soldered on ram (wtf!)
- REALLY expensive

This isn't even a desktop computer. If the major components are soldered on, and it's missing a gpu, this is just a shittier version of their laptops, but in bigger form.

HUGE wasted opportunity from them to create a maker kit level plug and play desktop computer than even children could play around with and swap parts in and out of willy nilly. Instead we get this ............... whatever this is.

@R Daneel Olivaw
They already mentioned in the video why they ended up having to solder the RAM and CPU and it has something to do with the new AMD Strix Halo APU. If it wasn't for the APU, it would be no different than a Mini ITX motherboard that you could've gotten for a lot less than what they're selling here and build your own Desktop PC.

This product isn't for you if you expected a GPU because the selling point is the AI portion of the APU since a lot of people in the AI space need the fastest and best APU they can get to do their work in a small package. Also, the APU being new is going to cost a lot before it decreases over time when newer models appear.

According to Framework on Twitter: "The 128GB Framework Desktop config is by far our top-selling product from yesterday’s launch."

@Liam Dawe
I'm not surprised by this because if you're going to pay a lot for this desktop, you might as well go for the top of the line model with all it's BYO options. I saw a video recently of Youtubers playing games on this new APU using the ROG Flow Z13 and it seems like it handles 1440p pretty well with their iGPU.

Happy three years, Steam Deck! I got mine back around August 2022 and it's been a great device for many of the games I play and I want to see what Steam Deck 2 has in store whenever Valve decides to release it.

I just hope the companies that use Anti-Cheat Expert will eventually get around to enabling it for Desktop Linux if they're currently focusing on Steam Deck.

I'm glad Palworld is doing well since Nintendo continues to reach into their deep pockets to find a way to take them down once and for all but nothing seems to be working at the moment. I hope they don't get anymore software patents approved in the US because they're going to abuse it.

Can anyone share where Liam posted that? I didn't notice it onsite and I kind of don't use BlueSky or Mastodon (partly because the things I most care about get posted on this site anyway).

@chr
It was posted when the forum was still up but has since been taken down. However, you can search the Internet Archives for the post since it's been captured there.

EDIT: Here's the post (look at the last one about comments) - https://web.archive.org/web/20241223112711/https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/6463/ [External Link]

I can't find the "quote this post" button anymore.

Liam has already posted why the button isn't there anymore, along with the forum being removed, and it has to do with the UK's new Online Safety Act.
