I have a Steam Deck video rendering now, will add it to the article when it's uploaded and YouTube puts it to HD to give my current suggested settings, gameplay and early thoughts. Proton Experimental still has crashes so remember to save early and often.

Quoting: scratchi

Pictured - Zephon on OpenSUSE Linux, max details.

What happened to Fedora? :)

I was having lots of random system stalls. Wanted to see if a different distribution had the same issues. Seems it was mostly a KDE problem, as GNOME is not having it. Likely an issue with KDE and NVIDIA (as usual).

Nope, otherwise I would have shared it.

Quoting: Lamdarer

Quoting: LiamA pretty massive increase and the biggest in a single month for years. So why? Well, considering Valve just recently had a huge sale on the Steam Deck, it's probably not all that surprising. A lot of people over the last month will have been playing with their Steam Deck that ships with SteamOS Linux.

But Liam can that really be the reason, I might be wrong but I thought you wouldn't get surveyed on the Deck for the initial few months or so?
Also I got a Deck as well and I wasnt (at least actively) surveyed 🤔

Well anyway nice news though I expect a drop next month as well, it will be interesting to see if it swings back to "normal" or if it can at least keep parts of that share.

The Steam Deck does get the survey, it didn't initially at the start but that was solved a long time ago. As for you not getting it: it's random, it's a survey, not everyone gets it - that's how surveys work.

Quoting: spacemonkeyMaybe there's an error in the Pop!_OS data. It is 2.97% of Linux users and gained 2.97%, meaning it was 0% previous month.. Does not seem correct to me.

It always does that on the Linux-specific data when they start showing a distro. Pop wasn't listed last month. It's odd but it does it any time a "new" distro appears in the list.

Quoting: HolzkohlenIt would not even fit on my Deck. I still have not upgraded my SSD. I'm looking forward to playing it on Thursday on my regular PC though. Been waiting for it for 4 years now. June 6th 2019 is when they first announced it.

No SD card?

Just to prevent any confusion: a few comments here have been removed from a now-banned user for hateful conduct. No need for discussion on this. Carry on as normal :)

Quoting: denyasisVery nice!! I never finished the original homeworld when it first came out. Might be a good chance to try it again!

Same. I remember fondly playing it but at the time I didn't quite understand it. Having it playable on Linux is great!

Added an extra bit on expected hardware support from an email with Collabora: “Initially, Turing (20XX and 16XX series) and later. Eventually, we want to go as far back as Kepler (6XX and 7XX series).”
