HELLDIVERS 2 is out - here's how to run it on Steam Deck / Linux

Why would a game with no online competitive mode need an anti-cheat? Sounds dumb to me.

Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld to come with Manjaro Linux

Quoting: JuliusOdd screen resolution choice. Probably not the best for overall performance.

But still... depending on the price this might be an interesting Steam Deck competitor.
I second that. They should've stuck with 1280x800 to guarantee higher frame rate or longer battery life. On a 7" screen 800p resolution should be enough given the constrained processing power.

Sounds like they are going in the other direction and targetting lower prices rather than fancier spec sheet. That's smart if they manage to bring the price down to something below the price of Steam Deck.

Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Not until 'tens of millions of users'

a fingerprint sensor (although that only apparently works on Windows)
Selling a dedicated Linux laptop with customized Ubuntu distro and having a non-working peripheral? That's pretty lame, because there are plenty of fingerprint readers that work. On both my Lenovos they worked OOTB and even on my old HP EliteBook you could get it to work with some tinkering (and we are talking about 16.04 Ubuntu).
Are fingerprint readers useful anyway? I'm pretty sure someone getting a hold of your laptop can easily find your finger prints all over the device, so can't they simply copy it and unlock the device.

Quoting: MohandevirWow! Awesome!

Can we expect the ram speed boost to give a couple of additional fps?
Yes, just a couple. Digital Foundry did a review of the unit and confirmed this.

ARK: Survival Ascended out now and enabled BattlEye for Steam Deck
27 Oct 2023 at 11:01 pm UTC

If BattleEye is enabled for the Steam Deck, does it mean it's also enabled for other Linux distros, or is BattleEye locked to a certain distro/hardware?

May I suggest changing the title into "Modern text adventure [I] doesn’t exist exists now"? :wink:
