Valve adds documentation for Steam Deck development, suggests Manjaro Linux for now

Quoting: CatKillerThe information about the dev tools has been up for quite a while already, and they previously had instructions for setting up a Linux test environment it's just that it was based on Ubuntu rather than Manjaro. The performance-equivalent hardware information should be pretty handy, though.
I'm aware they had some stuff available but nothing laid out as clear as this as a guide.

The Khronos Group officially announces the Dynamic Rendering extension for Vulkan

Quoting: ShabbyXSince when are Vulkan extensions aimed at consumers? :D
That was the point I literally made by saying that.
ShabbyX's point is that if you're saying that this extension is just for developers, then all those other Vulkan extensions must be intended for a wider audience.
Got it now, edited, thanks.

System76 patches APT for Pop!_OS to prevent users breaking their systems

Quoting: berarmaI didn't mean a distraction move from your part but from System76. That's the news they're spreading and want everybody to talk about. They're trying to divert our attention from the real issue. I'm not blaming you, although we should try to look through the smoke curtain.
As I said on Reddit in reply to you:

No, they're not. Do you really need to keep spreading this ridiculous FUD negativity around? It does absolutely nothing but make you look sour.

They're not trying to divert attention, their engineers talked a fair bit about it across social media and other chat channels and they knew they had messed up, it just happened to be around the same time Linus did his install.

What they're trying to do is ensure people keep a working system. It's only getting attention like it is, as I happened to see it on Twitter and decided to comment on it in an article (this one hi).

Do people really truly believe this is a diversion? Completely ridiculous. They already admitted right away it was a packaging fault their end and they fixed it. This is an additional measure. Jeezus.

Proton Experimental gets Age of Empires 4 working out of the box on Linux

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaLiam now this is too much RTS and Linux that I have no choice but to become a GamingOnLinux supporter.
I was trying to be a miser about it and not be a supporter but you keep bringing good news about RTS games, first Age of Darkness, now this. I can't take this anymore.
Now I'm not sure if Microsoft deserve my money but certainly you do.
*makes notes to cover more RTS* ;)

Thank you.

Quoting: berarmaThis is a distraction move. Where's the news about the Steam package being fixed and the reason it was published without being tested? Because that's the real issue.
A distraction move? No. Where's the news? This is it. I don't follow Pop for such issues personally to know if a package breaks, no one notified us, and now it's all solved so we've reported on it with details that we have.

Quoting: Spl-itI don't know if that's needed anymore, but for me the game has run stable for quite some hours now, playing multiplayer matches and playing single player. No need to wait really.
I did literally nothing other than Proton Experimental. Otherwise the article would note it :)

All ProtonDB reports are from before this Proton Experimental update. As the article states, it worked fine on NVIDIA here.

Quoting: kalinI tried popos and it was the same garbage as ubuntu. After some update the system got broken. From my experience manjaro is far better choice then anything Debian based. Turd is a turd no matter how much chocolate topping you put on
Please stop with these types of comments. They're unhelpful and distro war stuff is against our rules. I'm leaving it up so we can comment as a reminder it's not welcome here. All distributions can break, if the packaging is messed up. Manjaro has broken, Arch has broken, Ubuntu has broken - I've been through it all over the last 15+ years using Linux. Don't bring this type of thing here.

Until Valve or the developer confirms it, I suggest to leave it alone, same goes for any game using BE.
