Unfortunate that they make FSR4 such a big focus point. I consider all upscaling worthless, so no points for me. Awaiting some real world results!They're not included in this article but GamersNexus new video has some first party slides comparing these new cards to 7900's with no upscaling.

Anti-cheat stops Mecha BREAK running on Desktop Linux but works on Steam Deck

I actually do get the rationale of only allowing Steam Deck players, if that's really what's going on here.
The potential amount of people who own a Steam Deck, want to play the game, willing to, and managing to cheat on the Deck must be incredibly small that it could be "worth the risk" for them.
I don't like it either, but like I said in my previous comment, if they manage to find a way to know if you're playing on a Deck, then I guess it's better than zero support on any device. And the other AC makers should get on it to replicate this concept in their own solutions, especially with that upcoming Lenovo handheld and possibly more Linux powered devices.
And who knows, maybe this starts a (very slow) dominos effect of normalising anti cheats on Linux, a long march through the institutions.

Seems like this anticheat "expert" managed to hardware identify steam deck players. If that's the case then why do other AC enabled games refuse to do the same thing and allow Steam Deck users to play the game? There shouldn't be any fear of cheating right?

That's cute. Now we need to have a similar stamp but for those "procedurally generated" skeleton of games that rely on "roguelike" elements to make it sound like their game is longer than it actually is :whistle:.
The OBS Studio versus Fedora drama seems to have calmed down - no more legal threats

It's good that discussions were made and they seem to be in good terms, but this resolution kind of sounds like they'll just carry on and keep the status quo.
Fedora can do what they please, it's their platform, but I already went ahead and removed the Fedora Flatpaks from my computers. Glad that I can at least do that and preemptively rid myself of any potential unncessary headaches in the future.

SteamOS-like Bazzite Linux has some nice growth thanks to great handheld PC support

Mom, I'm on TV! among those 6.8k Kinoite users.
These Atomic images are so fun. I wonder if the Bazzite team still doesn't like it being called a distro.

Just finished getting rid of the fedora flatpak repos from my PCs. I could give my take on this silly situation but I'd rather do anything else with my time, it's that worthless. Here's the how-to if anyone wants to do the same and stay away from poorly managed repo's:

The glibc 2.41 update has been causing problems for Linux gaming

Plasma 6.3 landed in Fedora not even 24 hours after the official release from KDE. And it's a bliss with no issues on the two PCs I use. And that has been the case since I moved to Linux with Fedora KDE in March last year - almost a full year now of excellent and lightning-fast update delivery with no issues.

I do wish I could more easily get newer Plasma releases though...
I want to switch to Arch from Kubuntu for the same reason. But I would want to set up a reliable and easy to use snapshot, system to roll back issues whenever one crops up, with the figuring out what actually went wrong being highly optional for me since I don't often have the resources ((money), time, or mental resources (stimulation, drive, interest, focus, patience)) to deal with it.Fedora KDE exists you know... :wink:

FINALLY!On the bright side, the only thing out of those that could actually happen is you finding a girl. Stay strong king.
Another half year to implement it properly and we are on a brink of year of Linux Desktop! And Half life 3 is going to be released around same time. And I will find a girl friend.
