Nice, I was thinking about this the other day. Also be nice if UbiSoft games could show up in this launcher.

Game devs don't seem convinced on the Steam Deck from the GDC 2022 survey

Linux is what's not selling to dev's not the Steam Deck itself. There is a general resistance and hostility towards releasing or supporting games on Linux, uphill battle!

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Well if you don't SPEND your billions you will eventually need to pay it to the tax man so of cause this makes sense.

However I do wonder about the developer morals behind MS. I think they did good with the recent HALO release IMO, but we have yet to see what we'll get out of the Bethesda acquisition.

Wish they push out a GOG Galaxy 2 for Linux. Its actually pretty useful launcher under Windows.

Collabora pulls in Jason Ekstrand to work on Linux graphics drivers

I hope one day Ray Tracing is viable on AMD hardware (or on par with windows at least). Currently only NVIDIA users can experience ray tracing on par with what the windows drivers deliver (above 60fps etc).

I think RT with AMD cards atm if it doesn't STACK your entire computer, only delivers very low double digit framerates. I tried it a while back on my 6800xt but kept getting a entire system crash!

Quoting: pete910Ah, the discord streaming thingy, Must admit when I've tried it it's always been a bit meh . Not a Nitro member though so low res only.
I don't have nitro either but sometimes use the standard thing to show someone something.

Have to ask, What issues are you having? Discord's audio has never been a problem with OBS ect for me personally. Or do you mean within windows ?
Nitro does not capture game audio. OBS is a separate app outside of discord which does not hook up into discord for its screen sharing function (which doesn't capture audio under Linux).

Yeah I've used this before. It works decently. Even the OSD from discord under windows doesn't work half the time (games love blocking it).

Now if someone could make a plugin for discord to fix the streaming and no audio issue. (I know there are fixes with jack like tools but honestly I've never got them to work)

I honestly wish discord would just capture a twitch stream and use that instead of that nitro crap.

Collabora's work on a Wayland driver for Wine is coming along nicely

Quoting: HoolyAs such, refresh rate and DPI scaling will be applied uniformly to all monitors.
A X-server update recently made it so VRS works and also the highest refresh rate is considered. Old behavior of it taken lowest common denominator as default settings for all screens is no longer.

Steam Deck 'on track' for February, Valve hopes for millions by end of 2023

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIf Valve doesn't allow other companies from around the world to make official clones, this will be a megafail.
Clones? No need. Companies can design their own shell and probably get the APU's themselves once the chip shortage ceases to be a thing... lol
