It's almost like this container tech is here to stay, hehe 😆 This is great news and should hopefully make it easier for Valve to fix bugs in the client when there is more reproducibility across the garganguan Linux landscape.

This time Nvidia went too far with the Machine Learning. Previously we had artifacts now we have straight up hallucinations

Sigh… a fix for the Witcher 3 launcher that nobody uses, but where's the fix for Witcher 3 DX12 freezing constantly?

But I think we can do better with a native solution.I hard disagree with this statement. Pretty much all existing Linux games suffer from various problems ranging from complete inplayability over control and gameplay/visual issues as well as crashes. Running games over Proton is vastly preferable to Native most of the time because the Windows API is much more stable than the Linux API. I myself have had so many issues with native ports that the Proton versions never have, that I've given up on them completely

This would be great if the Steam Deck system wasn't so terribly inconsistent. I frequently find games that are listed as 'Unsupported' but that run fine, and 'Verified' games with severe performance issues, such as Horizon Zero Dawn (the OG has tons of stuttering). And as for the Remaster, it's Verified despite having the exact same engine as Forbidden West (Unsupported due to 'bad performance') and performing identically.... yea I already gave up trying to make sense of this mess
Sony PlayStation reportedly moving away from PC ports

Quoting: KimyrielleI love the Horizon series and I have around 325 hours combined across ZD, ZD Remaster, and FW. However, I will definitely not buy a Playstation, even if that means I will not be able to play Horizon 3. I buy only hardware where I can decide what to do with it, what OS to put on it, and where I can freely mod games. This walled garden approach that Sony is now taking will hurt them long term.Quoting: VreidicusPlaystation never released anything on steam i wanted to play so fine by me, bye bye Playstation..I can't name you too many of their games I bought either, but I liked Horizon Zero Dawn / Forbidden West.
Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more

Quoting: Aaron SparksGlad to have konsole back- I didn’t really care for Ptyxis and if I need it it’s still there- what’s odd to me about their recent update is that they said they switched to Kontainers to replace distroshelf but I have found that I needed to install Kontainers myself to get it after the update. 🤷♂️Distroshelf and Kontainer are both flatpaks and not part of the image itself. The installer installs the flatpaks, this which is why it's only on new installations. Flatpaks are 'user-territory' and you can uninstall/install to your hearts' content. On the other hand, Konsole is part of the image which is why everyone will get it.

Quoting: fenglengshunwith the Ptyxis terminal you can easily open a new container session from a dropdown in the UI, Konsole did not have this until very recently (we're still waiting for the merged commits to land in an actual release, but you'll be able to select your containers if you right click the 'new tab' dropdown)Quoting: Stellathe only reason they used Ptyxis in the first place was because of Konsole's seriously lacking container support, which are very important for the immutable distro workflow.What counts as "seriously lacking container support" here? I've been using konsole with distrobox just fine even before I got on ublue, and that's before we even have Bazzite and only had ublue-kinoite. I can enter my container pretty quickly - just use an alias or zsh-autosuggestions if you want to do it quickly.
I personally dislike Discover as it feels slow and bloated due to the many different backends it supports and despite being called Discover, the discoverability of apps feels lacking in comparison to Bazaar. I even started using Bazaar on my Steam Deck.
re: Discover and Bazaar
Spoiler, click me
I don't care about Discover's problems with Flatpak and others. I just want to be able to keep my applets, themes, and kwin scripts updated. If it bothers people so much, just include Bazaar, pin it in favorite, hide Discover in Utility category.
What I hated was Discover being removed when Bazaar still sucked. I did give it a try back then - it locks the entire app if you clicked Update, it was still pretty slow, I know it crashed on other people, and I find the way it loads on each keypress while searching to be rather uncomfortable as I am a bit sensitive to flashing screens. It wasn't ready, it was shoved in my face, and what I needed was removed while restoring it isn't as straightforward as with Konsole. The last time an operating system didn't something similar, I left and learned an entirely new operating system.
Honestly, I don't even want to talk about Bazaar anymore - it just keeps making me angry remembering how it was implemented in the ublue ecosystem. I don't even care how good it is now, the initial introduction left such a bad taste in my mouth.
