Does anyone have good experience with VRR and/or HDR (games and video) in Fedora KDE? I'm looking for a different distro for a new AMD desktop.

I've used a docked Steam Deck occasionally, but obviously that's not especially capable for higher-end gaming. I assume I'd want to stick somewhat close to the SteamOS mould, and the work Valve have put into. . . is it mainly Plasma and Wayland?

I've used Mint Cinnamon a fair bit in a pretty casual way, and like the user experience. But I don't think they focus all that hard on modern display or gaming features.

I was considering Bazzite for a while. I briefly used Bazzite GNOME on a Steam Deck LCD (KDE wouldn't install), and didn't have a great time with it. Some of their dev team shenanigans have been a bit off-putting too.

With this ARM64 & FEX business, someone got a very early version of SteamOS running on a Nintendo Switch.

Quoting: Caldathras

Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.

Strange to assume that this means the machine will open the ecosystem to Steam, Epic Games and such. M$ can achieve this statement simply by allowing owners of this new Xbox console to purchase the PC games through the Microsoft Store. No need to give competitors access to their closed market.

An Epic Games leader has said they're planning for EGS to be on the next Xbox "console" day one.

“We definitely plan to be on the new hardware for Xbox, because, unless their policy or stance on it changes, they are telling us they’re going to welcome that. And we’re going be there, like, on day one. That will probably require us to build in whatever their requirements are, some sort of software to support that.”

I saw this a few months ago. Checked out a YouTube animation compilation. Was pretty pumped for about 15 minutes.

Then I saw the TINGUS Solana meme coin, and talk about NFTs. Really deflated that balloon.

Chapter 1 Demo is still available on itch. I played it recently, after seeing good reviews come in, and it seems cool.

Check out SoulGame's Minishoot' Adventures from last year. Excellent game, with a fairly long demo on Steam.

Dunno if comment links are allowed, but it's part of the "SoulGame Bundle" on the Steam page above.
