Steam stable update released, and a Beta with lots of fixes for Desktop and Steam Deck
17 Jul 2024 at 4:05 pm UTC

Quoting: TangoBakerThe only thing game recording has ever produced on my steam deck is a black screen. Oddly, it works fine from my desktop.
With Steam or Non-Steam games? Worked fine for me when testing it at the first Beta.

Quoting: Liam DaweCheck out the demo on Steam [External Link]. Also on GOG [External Link] but no Linux build there right now.
The Steam link points to Lucy Dreaming instead of Heir of the Dog. The GOG link gets rejected by uBlock Origin. :)
Steam link is fixed. GOG is an affiliate link so nothing I can do there that's your plugin blocking it.

Quoting: suchEasiest clickbait opportunity I've seen, and just about everyone reporting on this is taking it. Props to Liam for explicitly stating what's up instead of going for the clicks.
I could pull in a vast amount more people and advert revenue and *potentially* supporters with clickbait. But I hate it as much as you all do. I refuse to do it.

PSA: If you use Bazzite you need to do a manual fix to get updates

Quoting: hardpenguinI understand this is the easiest way to do that but in general it is a very bad idea to directly pipe any script from curl to sudo bash 😅
For random scripts across the internet, absolutely. But one directly from the official source? It's fine.

Unverified Flatpaks disabled by default (and clearly marked if enabled).
They also are removing reviews for unverified Flatpaks. I don't think this is a good decision, because aren't deb packages unverified? 😂
Well, most .debs you install will be included by either Ubuntu (Canonical) or the Mint team. They can't control the ones you download externally. But this is about clearly showing what's available directly via Flathub, inside their software app, so it makes sense to do so.

GE-Proton 9-8 and 9-9 fixes Resident Evil on GOG, various other game fixes

Quoting: ToddL
Quoting: ssj17vegetaJust a question : do specific changes made in GE get eventually backported into mainstream Proton ?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but no changes from GE gets backported into Proton since they contain video codecs and other libraries that cannot be distributed unless a license is paid to allow it. This is why Valve doesn't include certain video codecs with Proton (which is those colored bars that appear during cinematic scene) and has to use workarounds to make it play nice.
That's part of it yes, Valve cannot legally provide support for the codecs used, GE works around it.

As for "backported into mainstream Proton", a lot of what is pulled into GE is directly from upstream Proton (and it's related packages) just it's sometimes faster (but again, less testing and no real support).
