This is great! What would be even better is if I could play a game with the same account on two devices simultaneously.

Like, I got two Steam Decks (OLED and LCD) and it would be awesome if I could play a game I own with a friend.

The trend looks very promising..😁

Though I'm not sure how much I trust that source. E.g. does anyone have a good reason why a huge chunk moved from macosx to windows since end of last year?

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

While I happily run vanilla ARCH^(btw) on my main machine, I have to say: Fedora is the new Ubuntu when it comes to supports everything out of the box (plus is way easier than Windows). Upgraded to 38 yesterday with GNOME 44.4 on my couch notebook. Quite nice! =)

- Improved performance in Big Picture Mode when using Nvidia GPUs

Can't wait to try this later.
The new big picture mode was pretty much unusable on 4K resolution on my nVidia 3080 (mobile).

Thoughts on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: michaI have the official Steam Deck Docking Station station as well and I believe most issues come from the low power supply unit.

I exchanged the included 45W one (same as the one the Steam Deck ships) with a 90W charger. Since then the issues with displays and other peripheral reduced a lot. Not 100% perfect but before it was almost unusable.

Only makes sense if you'd power your monitor over the Dock/charger, I guess?

Nope, monitor has it's own power.


I noticed that the problems were far less when I used keyboard + mouse in bluetooth mode instead of USB. And I doubt that those two drain a lot. At least I would expect the standard power adapter to be able to handle such.

Maybe, its specific to the EU (and UK? )adapters and that's how it slipped quality assurance. Just a guess though.
