Quoting: BlackBloodRumIt sounds good but.. replace my existing, fully working Steam Deck (LCD) good? I'm not convinced at this point.

I think I'll wait for the Steam Deck 2

Yeah, this was my take until some 10 minutes ago. But! And it's a big butt. Some of the games I play, there are just a few fps I'm missing. The new one fixes that. Then there's HDR and battery life and fan noise. It's just such a compelling upgrade.

It's absolutely right that SD should have been this way from the beginning, but ofc Valve were still testing the waters, never made this kind of hardware before, unsure of how it was going to sell, trying to keep costs to a minimum while still putting out a great product (and, let's face it, it was a great product already).

So yeah, it looks like they deserve all of my money.

I am quite excited for the developments that have been happening in Plasma and am really looking forward to trying out a Plasma 6 desktop on Wayland in the fairly near future.

That said, it may be quite some time before it trickles down to my Steam Deck. And I'm fine with that.

Quoting: Mar2ckDoes the slider jump straight from 30 to 40 fps? Because the screen can't run at 31-39 hz and with frame duplication the screen would have to run at 62-78 hz.

Yes it does.

I upgraded a few weeks ago. It was rather seamless.

And Gnome, for me, is the best of the Linux desktops. I also regularly use KDE and Cinnamon and they are great in their own right, but with Gnome I get a bit more fun from my computing. I do miss a couple of KDE features, though.

There's an update to this. I noticed yesterday fps limiting no longer worked correctly on my TV and today it is fixed.

I’m quite happy with this, I always used to have to adjust both sliders to get the fps I wanted.

Apple basically want developers to make software only for them and distribute it only through them. There are a lot of people who do that and thrive within their ecosystem. It's a tough sell for games, and I don't mean those free to play pay to win things phone stores are full of.

I just installed it (again) today and played a bunch. Performance is surprisingly fine using the Steam Deck preset. The launcher was an annoyance, glad there’s a way to disable it. All in all, it looks ready to play now.

Quoting: grigiHold on... MK has a story?
It was all the rage back when I was in high school, didn't even know it was a thing anymore

Stories are basically mandatory in fighting games nowadays. The story mode is basically long cutscene-fight-long cutscene-fight, repeat for some hours. MK does it, DoA does it, it's all the rage. A huge improvement to what was there before as far as I'm concerned. It's all quite entertaining and makes these games interesting for people like me, who have no interest in fighting others.

I’ll just wait for Fedora 39 to come out, many of the inevitable bugs should be sorted by then. Good times!
