Quoting: NezchanIf the dev went back and overhauled it the way the No Man's Sky devs did? I'd still be willing to give it a chance, after all this time. But it'll take a little more than what this update has to offer.The dev struggles with money flow in many cases - I'd be very surprised if they could do what the NMS team managed.
Big new Stable Update for Steam Deck and Desktop Steam

Quoting: Liam DaweIt's terrible even on Intel. Feels really half-arsed.Quoting: Mohandevir"The new BigPicture mode has been made the default one"Yes. So when you click Big Picture Mode, even on Desktop, it uses the UI from Steam Deck now too. Sadly, for NVIDIA users on Linux, it's quite poor right now due to low performance.
Meaning it's now the Steam Deck UI for desktop users too?

Quoting: TheRiddickTried Plasma Wayland yesterday, WHAT A MESS that was. Broken UI and Font everywhere! you want functional non blurry desktop scaling then wayland won't be delivering anytime soon!This is incorrect. It's not wayland that is at fault - it's the KDE implementation of it.
I really should make a video showing all the fucked up shit wayland does to my desktop. The new floating panel option for example has shadow render issues.. lol
Wayland still MILES away from being ready, at least on plasma.
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.It is more likely that the KDE compositor and various other bits need a lot more work. Unfortunately we're probably going to see bugs for a long while thanks to C++ and QT being used (neither are very nice to use).

Quoting: starpolloBold move from the old snap advocate! He must have gotten real sick of the cool-aid I guess?Yeah he actually did. Much of that being to do with poor management and leadership.

Quoting: AnzaI guess I cheat a whole lot [External Link]Quoting: Luke_NukemEnabling anti-cheat in Rust turns it into C?Just some of the titles that could benefit include:How does a compiler benefit from anti-cheat though?

Programming in Rust enables few cheat codes, like thread and memory safety. With those enabled, it's possible to speedrun program development (assuming that target is to get stable program) and that's not fair.
