VKDoom is a ZDoom-based source port with a focus on Vulkan

Quoting: TimeFreezeBesides the new rendering features whats the point of this Source Port? Vulkan already exists in GZDoom. Surely they could merge those features into GZDoom itself?
This port has real-time ray-traced lighting, though that's weirdly not obvious thanks to only being a bullet point in this article and the screenshot not showcasing it. The chosen screenshot just looks like any other GZDoom screenshot. Meanwhile, on the project site:



Linux updates tease Valve 'Galileo' and 'Sephiroth' - Steam Deck refresh? Or new VR?

Quoting: soulsourceI know it's unlikely, but I'm still hoping for a new Steam Controller...

If it has a headphone jack, it could need an audio driver, right?

(At this point I pretty much convinced myself that it isn't a gamepad.)
I saw a Steam Controller refresh in a video. It's just a matter of them committing to it. I do suspect they are focusing on Deckard, their XR device.

Quoting: jordicomaGood for them.
I'm still waiting for Catalan support.

Steam desktop and Steam Deck get a fresh stable update

This update causes any game with Valve's framerate limiter set to "off" to chug at 18-20 FPS. Have to set 60-120 to get smoothness back...

Steam Deck would make a great FPV drone operator.

Does this mean we could finally have another Blood?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTo be honest, I feel much more confident about sticking a file in a folder or two than I do about installing applications from Github. Especially on a system that will dump non-Flatpak applications after a while.

There is no part of this process which would be overwritten by an OS update. And no, standalone scripts and portable applications, as well as appimages are persistent so long as they are stored in userspace. Please don't spread misinformation.

Such a cute mod! For those who don't know, QZDL makes this a snap!

Steam Deck gets a 15FPS option, new keyboard themes

Quoting: BeamboomI wonder what their use case is for 15fps, that made it this high on the priority list...!
If I had to hazard a guess, it would be for non-realtime games, and maybe for games which do not rely on fluidity of motion. RTS, turn-based RPG's, jewel or puzzle games, card games etcetera.

The game is better played once bound to joypad using the settings menu. Should be fun to play on Deck.
