I was wondering how I don't have Mad Max yet.

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Antitamper

So, that's why.

One down, shitload to go.

I would also like to add that what the user is getting at could be better more attributed to sovereignty, rather than real privacy and security gains. Something that is still totally valid and I do support that position myself, but it's best to be aware of the broader state of privacy and safety if one does care.

While the EU is absolutely better for privacy/security than the US (America is probably the worst place for that, it was never really a contest), that doesn't make the EU saints or that they don't have intentions undermine their own citizen's privacy/security; see the EU plan to kill encryption, CSAM, and their future plan to ban Monero (private, digital cash) etc. If I were to summarize the EU's stance on privacy rights, I'd say their actions are that they don't want no company to have unrestricted access to user data, but they do want that data for themselves (the governments).

What truly ensures one's security and their right to privacy here is using the right open source tools. Nationality or HQ location is a concern for sure, but what's a bigger concern is using closed-source tools or even FOSS tools that aren't properly audited. Yes, this is the zero-trust strategy, since the idea of "trust me bro" or "it's fine, covert data collection is illegal here" are not at all enough to give one a real sense of what we're discussing here, only a promise.

This is why I don't mind the fact that, for example, the Signal private messenger is based in America, because any 3 letter agencies in the whole world can be my guest and spend all day long trying to decrypt that quantam-resistant cryptography of the Signal Protocol, and they won't succeed. This level of assurance is achieved thanks to the fact Signal is open source.

Coming back to Fedora/Bazzite being based in the US, this is one example of changing districts not doing anything to one's privacy, as Fedora already doesn't collect information on users by default, the code is open source so we don't have to take their word for it, we verify that ourseleves. What does hurt Fedora being in the US are other topics that are real show-stoppers (their paranoia of not pre-installing essential non-FOSS packages due to fear of the copyright police), but nothing that relates to privacy or security.

Nice Titanfall 2 reference :smile:.

Sure, options are great, but I'll stick with ProtonUp-Qt as an avid Qt fan and who has contributed a couple features to ProtonUp-Qt in the past.

Thank you for your service !

Not sure what the bit Steam Input should be doing.

I tested HITMAN running with Wine-Wayland for that sweet HDR, and even with the latest 10-8 release, controller still doesn't work, until I manually turn off Steam input for the game.

There is hope, Wuthering Waves uses the same anticheat and it's playable on Linux. Hopefully someone figures out the trick. or if it's up to game devs to enable support, well, hopefully they do !

HDR streaming theough Sunshine broke for me and this has been the case for a while. Never bothered to try and fix. Maybe I should look into it today.

Thanks for bringing the news of this big update to my attention.

Is this Linux only, what about Windows ?

Found out it's both.

I don't like the gaslighting nature of the last point the dev made here. While the proposal post was indeed flooded with dozens of people concerned their games won't work, there were at least a couple Fedora packagers conversing in a passive aggresive manner you'd expect out of smug and snarky open-source devs who probably think they're better than everyone, it got to the point where one was more-or-less making fun of Bazzite's devs inability to handle the 32bits themselves.

No reason to mention names because that's not the point. Pretty crappy to see all around. At least this attitide was only expressed by a couple Fedora people and not a majority, so we're good for niw. Like I said in the previous posts about this matter, the worst thing wasn't the proposal, it's the attitude behind it.

Lastly,as brought up by a user in the proposal:

I see that at least 2 of 3 owners of this proposal are employed by Red Hat. Considering that RHEL dropped support for 32-bit libraries, the desire to remove these from Fedora as well is not surprising from the prespective of cutting maintenance costs (hardware + human-hours). However, this change proposal appears to not consider other perspectives and it makes me doubt my understanding of Fedora’s role in the grand scheme of things.

These points of friction with Red Hat for Fedora will only intensify with proposals (driven especially with an attitude) such as this one. The Fedora people are not helping themselves stopping these points from being brought up.

These were just a couple points I learned from this change proposal story.
