Yay! Transmog! This is an amazing update tbh. It's definitely the definitive version for me to play of Zero Dawn. Couldn't go back to the old one now.

Valve now sell refurbished Steam Deck OLED models

That is cool. I would buy a refurbished OLED if it offered better performance than LCD. But it doesn't which makes the upgrade from LCD honestly not worth it for me.
As it stands I'm waiting for Steam Deck 2 which will hopefully have a bit more performance headroom. Not even 3 years after the SD release it's already struggling with new titles

Valve may be working on a new kind of Steam Machine

I think a Steam Home Console would make a lot of sense. Less flexibility than Steam Deck but improved processing power. The ecosystem is already there, they just need to make the hardware for it

Quoting: legluondunetWhat is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.
For me 99% of what keeps me on Nvidia is DLSS. It has the widest game integration vs. FSR and XESS, and superior image quality. FSR has way too much artifacting. Even on the tiny Steam Deck screen I can already see it. So yeah, probably not gonna switch to AMD unless their upscaling solution becomes significantly better

Not sure if I need more games that I'll never play, I haven't even played any of the occasional free game drops on Steam apart from Half-Life 2. If I do want something I'll just wait for an acceptable price during sale. These mystery boxes aren't really my thing

I use a Discord alternative sometimes as well for chatting, but only official discord has PTT so far. PTT is a must-have for me.
I'm afraid I don't really understand, what is PTT? I googled and found only a medical condition :cry:

KDE's 2024 fundraiser hits the goal - clearly their donation pop-up works

KDE makes linux so much better in my opinion, i tried Cinnamon, Gnome, xfce, mate, and all felt kind of clunky. KDE Plasma feels exactly right and some of their other projects like KDE Connect for example are absolute killer apps. Definitely worth a donation imo.

So, do I need to buy a new GPU for Vulkan 1.4 support?
