My understanding is it would work the same way as on Android? So anything will install via steam but dev mode is needed to install any other program ect.

Valve confirmed in the Steam deck developer livestream back in November that you would be able to install Flatpacks without needing to go into dev mode; see below link to the question (happens at 3Hrs 43Min 40Sec)

Quoting: fenglengshunOh, that's cool. I guess the Flatpak full integration didn't make it in 5.10 after all, but still looking forward to test it nonetheless.

The only reason I can see to using edge over any other Chromium based browser would be if it supported higher quality streaming on the likes of Netflix.

Will the Lutris need the EGS installed; or can it load in the games via the Heroic launcher?

Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton

Its a shame and hopefully they will port other games to Linux and this is just a function of TROY having been on the EPIC store first.

I will always be happy to pay full price for a native Linux release, however I wait for non-native titles I play through PROTON to go on sale first out of principle.

OpenGL over Vulkan driver Zink gets a huge performance boost
17 June 2021 at 11:06 am UTC Likes: 1

Question I always assumed that Zink was a similar project to DXVK in that it was simply a translation abstraction between OpenGL and Vulkan. But the wording of the above makes it seem that it is a MESA specific. I.e if Im using Nvidia drivers then I cant use Zink to translate to Vulkan like I would DXVK. Or am I missing something.

Elite Dangerous has been my goto game for the last 2-3 months. Despite the pains of the latest expansion/DLC it runs well enough via Proton for me to be an enjoyable play.
