Marvel's Midnight Suns set the bar pretty high, so even if this game is half as fun, Im in.

Quoting: lejimsterI thought I had seen a lot of news related to Nvidia and open source projects lately. I wonder... Maybe they are involved in a piece of hardware Valve are making? We know Valve want the ability to fix driver issues as they arise which is only possible if the drivers are open source.

either a valve home console, or VR Headset or just steamOS general relase...

i doubt steamdeck 2 will go nvidia

Best case scenario would be a valve home console... along with an updated VR Set and have them both separate... it'd allow others to use any piece of VR equipment they wish and use it as a general PC if people wanted. :)
(especially with steam link on quest 3)

One thing we know for sure is that if Nvidia is doing something, the movtive is pure profit. Let's just hope it's not some A.I. thing that has nothing to do with gaming.

I would hope they also eventually get Steam Link support for VR in Linux.

Anyone who gets it will probably wonder why their battery is draining while the device is idle. Eventually, it'll come to light that they're secretly using your device to mine cryptocurrency for their organized crime rings around the world.

nvk is a Vulkan implementation that uses the kernel driver, so no, it's not a kernel driver itself. So it's either nvk + nouveau or nvk + nova.

Or NVK + Zink, which at this point seems the efficient solution. I do not know, I cannot bring myself to be interested in this project :neutral:

All this proves is that Free and Open Source Software has a naming problem. :grin: I still don't quite understand why people talk about Radv and amdvlk all the time but I've never found either on my AMD system. Having a bunch of names and alternate names for things just makes the barrier for entry that much harder for new users, especially for people coming over from the Steam Deck and trying Linux for the first time.

I think some people are confused by this announcement. They're not making another handheld. They're making an OS. This is essentially a new Linux distro. But I'm guessing it'll end up being more like ChromeOS (with proprietary bits on top) than your typical distro.

Quoting: GuestIt doesn't include Saints Row (2022). Good!

I've always found it a bit weird that people feel the need to publicly dunk on a game they don't like. Is it just for social media clout? There are tons of games I don't like, but I don't go around saying, "No Dark Souls. Good!" or "No GTA V. Good!" It just seems a bit odd.

Reasoning could be the same for publicly saying you like a game.
Why is it bad to say you don't like a game but it's good to say you like another one?
At the end of the day, both are unsolicited opinions for the rest of us reading them.

No, it's really not. Saying you don't like something and stating it as an opinion is fine. Stating you're glad people won't be able to buy a game in a bundle seems a bit more hostile. If someone could get a discount on a game I don't like, I'd still be happy for them.

When that latest Saints Row game came out, there were people actively trying to cut it down and trying to convince people not to play it like they were on some kind of righteous crusade. it's a bit much.
