Whatever you do, don't buy the 8GB model, even for 1080p gaming. It's dead in the water and wasted silicon. Games are requiring more and more VRAM, not less. Even if you might be just fine now with 8, the trend towards heavy VRAM hitters continues and you'll be forced to upgrade or you'll have a subpar gaming experience with super blurry textures and stuttering. I would even recommend the B580 over anything that has 8GB, and that's not a great card. But it has 12GB of VRAM

Could this be the Steam Deck 2 in disguise?
The hardware looks really good tbh, especially with those symmetrical sticks and trackpads. The white shell is eye-pleasing. Only thing I really don't like is the D-Pad though, it looks awful to use
If i bought one of these, I'd likely erase the default OS and put Bazzite on it though. Not a big fan of Manjaro

Great, more DOA 8GB cards. Seriously, this needs to stop. Any and all cards released should be 12GB minimum regardless of how low they are in the product stack

PCGamingwiki can be really helpful in determining anti-consumer features, also developers have to declare Denuvo and other DRMs on the store page itself now, as well as third-party accounts and kernel-level anticheat

I have absolutely zero interest in opening an account on GOG, or purchasing any game from there, as long as they continue to not have a native Linux client.

I understand your criticism of Steam Guard, while it would be nice to have an alternative, I think the Steam Guard app itself is really good. It shows your login history including IP address and location of the login so you can check for fraudulent activity. It also offers some other nice features such as Remote Download to your PC.

I'm a bit confused on how to get this fix since I'm already on Mesa 25.1.

I think it's fixed now, I upgraded both of my Kubuntu machines to Plucky (25.04) yesterday and I know other people in the Discord have done the same.

If anyone is still reading this. Portal 1 has apparently not been updated and doesn't run any more as native. I only noticed it because Ubuntu 25.04 has now pulled in this glibc update. The fix is to switch it to Proton

is there a console command to make it still run without the new mesa?
