SteamOS 3.4 rolls out in Preview for the Steam Deck - it's a massive upgrade

I heard the kernel is still old, but is Mesa also old as well?

Vulkan-based D3D9, 10 and 11 translation layer DXVK version 2.0 out now

I guess this screws over Ubuntu 22.04 users unless they upgrade to 22.10, wait for a backport, or move to Pop_OS which has 22.2 and 6.0.6 of the Linux kernel right now.

I’m more surprised that some of you are playing games in 2022 with a 580. I had one years ago but graduated to a 5700 and currently on a 6900XT.

I do game on a ultrawide though so maybe that’s why I appreciate the extra power.

If you are on Proton 7.04, does the launch argument -steamdeck also fix it?

This game isn't on GOG. Kinda sucks since the prior games are. :-(

Flatpak IS a package manager, you know. It’s just that it’s a lot more robust than the legacy traditional ones (dnf, apt, pacman, etc).
Considering that SteamOS on the Deck is still running Arch packages from January and the user shouldn’t touch the core OS, then I’d rather go with Flatpak.

If the Flatpak is being updated by the developer, that is a better way to get packages plus the Flatpak is portable across operating systems.

Quoting: t3gYou worded it as Steam Deck, but what about desktop Linux?
As far as I am aware it’s mainly fixed up for AMD which I can only test on Deck, since my PC is NVIDIA.
I have an AMD GPU (6900XT) but haven’t played Infinite in months. I assume this could apply to me in the future if I reinstall the game.

Another reason to get the HP Dev One laptop since it runs the Ubuntu 22.04 based Pop!_OS. 😎
