Fedora 38 is out now with GNOME 44, official Budgie desktop spin and more

Quoting: CalinouIn the era of Flatpaks, I find myself using system packages much less often for user-facing applications nowadays. For CLI developer tools, traditional packages are still the way to go, but it's rare for me not to find them in the Fedora repositories. If I find a CLI tool that isn't packaged, it's usually not packaged in any Linux distribution outside of Arch's AUR.
Same. I basically go for Flathub first before anywhere else when looking for apps now.

Quoting: scaineSo... is Proton experimental now based on Proton 8, or is it still at 7? I'm not sure how I'd check?

Edit - Based on this [External Link], it looks like it's still v7.
As mentioned, there will be an Experimental update later this week :)

Thanks for all the comments. It’s descending into insults now though so I’ll be locking it here. Let’s try to remember that we can all hold different opinions and debate them but name calling is not acceptable or needed.

Microsoft experiments with a handheld Windows 11 mode for Steam Deck

Quoting: GuestIs there any kind of source about the fact that it is the Steam Deck to have pushed Microsoft more than other reasons or it is deduction/speculation?
They talk about it very clearly in the video. The screenshot from it in the article even mentions the Deck directly ;)

Quoting: pmatulkaFrom my point of view: no tux no bux. I have 229 games on steam and I will never buy no native game. If i want play no native game there is torrent + wine.
There is simply no need to come along to a post about a Non-Native game and post this. Stop it please.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection gets Steam Deck support

Quoting: Liam DaweYou've been able to force a different resolution for a while now on Steam Deck.
How? I've just gave it a quick test – nothing has changed. You can change the output resolution in game mode, but not the resolution that is used for rendering. That is fixed and will get scaled to the final output resolution.
There's the option in the game properties for each game, where you can tell it a forced resolution. Obviously on the Steam Deck directly it will still be limited to the base resolution, but it works for external screens.

Quoting: mr-victorySteam Deck defaults to 720p even on external monitors AFAIK.
The last time I checked – sometime at the end of last year – it was impossible to use a higher resolution in game mode (the only option for a different resolution was/is scaling). In desktop there is full control of resolution.
