Is interesting that the support for Aya Neo happened because the ChimeraOS dev received the device from the Aya Neo themselves.
Valve on the other hand, while they also promised one, they haven't done so yet.

Then, why did you installed it in the first place? :grin:

Quoting: zen_xenoLOL seriously, I love that Valve used AA batteries in the Steam controller

Hear hear!
I hate those integrated batteries, they go bad and have no easy access to them. I have at least one controller unusable wirelessy because of that.

Which controller? I'm sure you can buy a replacement if you're willing to attack the casing a little bit.

Is one or two PS3 controllers. I opened them before to clean the stuff inside, but didn't went too far with the battery since I still have one still working.
I may resort to that eventually.

Quoting: Mohandevir...being forced to change the batteries, in my SC is the part I hate the most. I broke one of the "ejector sticks" in one of them... I can still change the batteries, but I'm in for a hell of a fight. :wink:

That is true, some batteries are slightly larger and hard to take out.
I do this to avoid fighting with them:

You just pull them out with the ribbon.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAlso wondering if Debian is just classified as Ubuntu, as I don't see it on this list at all.

I suppose you can check your Steam's system information, see what's listed there.

Recently I had it (the survey) three times in a single day.
I didn't had any hardware changes (which is also likely to trigger it), just some various distros testing.

Quoting: tuubiWrapped ports can make Linux look bad in comparison, but they're better than nothing as long as they're properly supported on Linux.

Better than NOTHING, true. But they most definitely made Linux look real bad.

I even think it was misleading back then to call such releases "ports" at all. But no point in beating a dead horse further. 😊👍

They were not without issues, but overall they worked very well. At times issues reported for those ports were in fact the original game issues, (like the stutter in BI when loading new areas).
But most importantly, those ports came when we badly needed them. We are spoiled today with everything running with Vulkan/DXVK/Proton etc, but back then we only had a handful of porters that did what they could with the tools of the time and OpenGL.
Whatever the today status, those porters, VP/Aspyr/Feral/etc deserve our (at least mine) gratitude, they kept the Linux gaming going as best as they could.

Quoting: BeamboomBut three of those titles (Bioshock, Hitman, Saints Row) are Linux native and have always worked?

I don't think Hitman Absolution is native, and the other two while they still work for the moment, at some point might run into problems.
I remember BI working perfectly before, but recently I had some issues starting it, and the situation could get even worse in the future.

Quoting: minfaer- Fractional scaling and different scaling on multi-monitors at least in gnome require Wayland

Is that a limitation only with Nvidia?

No, it's purely Xorg vs Wayland. See the arch wiki describing how to potter around this. [External Link]

Huh, is not something that I frequently use, but it works OK here by default.
I have Gnome 3.36.8, two monitors on Xorg, one at 175% and the other at 150%.

That's interesting, I remember a Gnome dev writing that they cant implement it on X. What distro is it? And are you sure it's X (as in  echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE  ?

Yes, is x11 on Ubuntu 20 LTS.
