Quoting: StellaIs that really worth doing though? I uploaded logs and gave really detailed information for 3 different games that have issues with Proton. The Witcher 3, Vampyr, Doom TDA. All 3 are Steam Deck Verified. In all 3 reports, i gave detailed repro steps along with proton logs, and the issue was 100% reproducible. In Vampyr, the report was specifically about a regression in Proton 8 or later on the Steam Deck. I have never heard back from Valve on any of these 3 reports. This effort feels like a waste of time now.😫

This. I have a plugin called decky-proton-pulse, and as soon as I started reading this I was excited to maybe work this in some native easy way, but I remembered that so many do these seem to be ignored. Maybe they are not though, and we just don't see what goes in in Valve's world. Perhaps they ingest these etc... for trends and fixes.

It sounds like this article is trying to say "what is the best desktop oriented distribution for gaming". The best distribution for gaming is SteamOS. I use ChimeraOS myself. I also don't quite get the affinity for snaps, given Valve's response on this too.

But yes, I understand it's meant to imply a traditional desktop OS that best supports gaming. It depends on your bias for Fedora, Debian, and core variants.

No thanks for Fedora. I'll stick with ChimeraOS.

Why base it on Fedora when the package repos are Arch based? Isn't it more effort to maintain?

Heroic works well for me. I try Junk Store every so often but they can't seem to fix the login process when you don't use a user/password. I use sign in with Google and the popup is lost. I'll have to try this using the prefix of it has one. Shrug

Hard to beat the cohesive integration in Heroic Games Launcher, especially now that gamepad navigation works better. This is similar to what EmuDeck does. Plus, HG launcher has nice integration with with proton tricks.

I have a feeling I made the right choice with the Lemur Pro I got a few weeks ago. I like the System 76 approach/support and hardware/OS pairing. However, I recognize may be a good thing for Fedora fans. But Lenovo...

Yep that was me with the reply. I've always been pretty gung-ho about this idea of Valve's so it was nice to have some sort of update.

As long as it scales well, seems good. I actually loved the XMB interface. Nice to look at. The problem I have with a lot of new interfaces, is they don't allow you to or auto-scale well. Say I have a massive resolution on a smaller screen, I don't want the icons to look like ants :)

Does this include Xen?
