That massive back stand is a fatal design flaw, there's no way around it.

Did a minor addition to the text to specifically mention Gaming Mode.
You're the man, Liam.

Bazzite the popular SteamOS-like Linux gets expanded NVIDIA support in Beta
9 Jan 2025 at 12:29 pm UTC

Excellent news. Though I must say, if I didn't know any better, I would've thought this means Nvidia wasn't supported at all on Bazzite previously, while the truth is this news is specifically about Game Mode.

GPD WIN 4 handheld plans to support Valve's SteamOS in 2025 (updated: nope)

Update: GPD are wrong on this.
These handheld companies are run by clowns.

If CrowdStrike can't get it right, how are much smaller companies supposed to?
We're literally one CrowdStrike-style incident away from all these rootkits to completely crumble and probably cease to exist altogether in the aftermath. I don't care if this is fucked up to say, but I'm praying it actually happens.

Even though it will "support" SteamOS, it seems it will still only ship with Windows 11 out of the box according to the GPD page.
Aka they're too cheap to invest in making a second model with the mandatory SteamOS Home and QAM buttons.

Quoting: scaineWith a shout out to early freebies like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Prey
Damn, I guess I hopped in after these ran out, would've loved to have them.

Anyways, this week's freebies are quite underwhelming especially considering how strong the previois weeks were. This is the last week before my subscriptions runs out as well so it's a shame.

Proton Experimental gets fixes for Final Fantasy XIV, Nioh: Complete Edition and more for Steam Deck / Linux

Experimental fixed additional controllers not working in Overcooked AYCE on 9.04... Now I swear it used to work in 9.03 but I don't know how to downgrade to 9.03 to tell nor do I think I have the energy to do so then report the bug...

The Witcher IV revealed with Ciri as the protagonist

Quoting: EhvisCiri was not super interesting to play in the few section of TW3 because the mechanics just weren't there.
Interesting, for me it was the other way around; before dumping Witcher 3, I remember vastly preferring Ciri's gameplay over Geralt's, it just felt way better and less clunky for me. Like I said I dumped the game shortly after so maybe Geralt's gameplay gets better.
