PlaytronOS Alpha 2 brings expanded NVIDIA support, more handheld PC support and much more
27 Nov 2024 at 3:41 pm UTC

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualThere are only three ways to beat the Anti-Cheat problem:

1. Force the game developers to weaken their anti-cheat for your system (not going to happen with the current number of players)
2. Start cryptographically verifying kernels and bribe a bunch of game companies into supporting those particular kernels. This also does not seem likely to work long-term.
3. Cloud gaming...
Would kernel verification really be satisfactory for these anti-cheat companies? Why isn't that a thing already? Difficult to implement?

I don't mind if all it takes to prove I'm "safe" is just checking if my kernel comes straight from Fedora unmodified, doesn't sound like an issue st all for me.

And if one uses custom kernels, then I think an easy solution is to just have the distro's official kernel installed alongside the modified kernel, and whenever one wishes to play one of those spyware games, just reboot into the distro's kernel and play the game.

Steam Client Beta fixes up NVIDIA bugs on Linux with Game Recording and Remote Play

Unfortunately Game Recording left a bad taste on deck for me. Was playing E2M2 of DooM yesterday with a friend, and after dying 2 times because it's a difficult level we were basically at the end, and I thought to try the new recording function, so I hit the shortcut and my deck immediately just crashed and rebooted... I'll just keep the feature disabled for now.

Still waiting on how they're gonna tackle anti-cheat stuff.

Since they're into crypto and "web3", I'm also waiting for the inevitable rugpull.

Quoting: ArehandoroI'm not a big fan of Crysis, but Dark Forces remaster and System Shock are very appealing!
System Shock remake is awesome.

Give your Steam Deck a refreshed look with these new Razer skins

Did you manage to get it bubble free?
Somehow I did yeah... It was a year ago so I don't remember a lot, I just remember using like a hair dryer to loosen the skin whenever I fuck it up, then try again. It's not too difficult.
