Quoting: robvvThere are suggestions on the Steam forums for GTA V to simply install Windows on the Steam Deck! Oh, okay then...
Behold! Windows, the cure for all that ails y - oh wait a minute, the issue is scummy company practices. Nvm then

Grand Theft Auto V gets BattlEye anti-cheat, breaks online play on Steam Deck / Linux

Ugh, this is so stupid. It doesn't cost the devs any extra effort to have BattlEye Linux support. It's literally just a checkbox. Why would they suddenly care about cheaters now if they haven't for those past 9 years. And what's it with all those multiplayer game publishers being anxious about Linux cheating, they always portray us like we're the bad guys or something. Jesus Christ, we just want to enjoy the game like anyone else! Also, Red Dead Redemption 2 still doesn't have anticheat to this day.

The TUXEDO Gemini 17 - Gen3 is a big powerful desktop-replacement class laptop

Seriously... notebook makers need to stop putting 500GB of storage into a laptop and call it a day. This is pitiful. Considering the astronomical increase in game size, you can only install 2x 150GB games before it's full. And why pair such a weak GPU with such a powerful CPU? This laptop has so many weird design choices and the price is frankly insane.

Really? no FSR 3.1? Come on CDPR... how much more effort would it have been

Mojang give an update on the future of Minecraft development

Quoting: nwildnerI see a lot of Mod/Plugin breaking in Minecraft Java then. On Bedrock for the poor peasants that still use Windows, Microsoft is already doing some tricks to avoid function mapping making mods breaking on purpose after each release.

Imagine the same hell being unleashed on Java edition making modders to have to race head by head with Minecraft often releases. This way I'll have to spend more time helping my nephew setting up his controllers by using Controlify mods because of his small hands(can't play on mouse+keyboard).

Sad they come with this bullshit to make Minecraft Java players life even more miserable.
Have you tried using Steam input instead? It allows to play any game with controller even if that only supports mouse and keyboard. It's how i play minecraft on Steam deck without any mods. There's tons of preset controller configs already available that map controller buttons to keyboard or you can make your own

NonSteamLaunchers v3.9.4 gets save backups using Ludusavi

Ludusavi is amazing, I disovered this gem a few months ago. Coming from Gamesavemanager on Windows, I must say the UI/UX is so much better, and it's faster too. It even can search inside proton prefixes, which GSM isn't able to. In my opinion this tool is seriously underrated and deserves more coverage in the media😄

Here's how to fix the ELDEN RING 'inappropriate activity' issue on Linux / Steam Deck

The fact that they can't even do proper testing is really disappointing. And kudos to the guy who found the 'bad hack' to get it to work without dlc. The fact that you have to do manual file editing to get a game to work in multiplayer though... yikes.

Btw, Fromsoftware, where is the other promised 'hotfix' for Steam Deck users? Do you not realise that Steam Deckers make up a pretty big part of your playerbase?

Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not

Running apps in gaming mode always felt really wonky to me and some would just outright crash...

NVIDIA driver 555.58 released as stable bringing Wayland Explicit Sync
27 Jun 2024 at 2:14 pm UTC

The first time I tried wayland with Kubuntu, plasmashell crashed so hard i only had a black screen LOL. That was with 'outdated' drivers though. Would i still need to upgrade plasma to enjoy wayland though? Is that even possible on LTS?

Forza Horizon 4 is getting delisted in December

Aw :cry: I tried playing it on steam deck once, but the experience was just bad. I can't comprehend how it is 'playable'. I had frequent crashing, performance problems, sign in problems, in short, nothing but issues. Never had these while playing 60+ hours on Windows.

Anyways, this is not the end of the game like it was for 'The Crew'. Forza 3 was delisted ages ago and still works, albeit not on Linux thanks to being a UWP app.I'm pretty sure even Forza 1 and 2 still are, but they never came to PC
