I can't remember if I read it here or elsewhere but the developers of CachyOS don't focus on or really consider it a gaming distro anyway..

I'm fine with lawsuits if it's a legitimate one. My suspicion however is this is just a money grab and Valve are a lucrative target.

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeI picked up the LCD model over Christmas and been struggling to put it down, definitely want to get an oled model in the future

I am concerned the steam machine won't be as successful

It's going to be tough on valve releasing new hardware with the current climate, but I hope both the MACHINE and the frame will bring them good fortune because they both look cool

I will be getting one of those new steam controllers though, least I can afford that lol

I'm going to buy a new controller when they're released for sure. I don't need the Steam Machine even though I think it's a very cool SFF PC... Hopefully Valve can get a good deal on RAM since they are bulk ordering and it doesn't affect the overall price too much.

Quoting: The_Real_BittermanI'm interested in whether if or when Valve will adopt Flatpak itself as their primary distribution format for the Steam Client.

Ngl Steam with flatpak might not be perfect especially if you have to grand it directory access to anything outside home. But for me personally Steam flatpak has been overall the best experience compared to their own dep package or any repack for any other distribution in their respective native packaging format.

TBH, I feel like I've had issues myself with some flatpak stuff. For Steam I always prefer to install it natively. I'm fine with flatpak getting more support but I would always prefer going through the official package manager for my distro.

I was wondering this when watching some Windows 11 vs Linux benchmarks recently. It seemed like RT wasn't as performant on Linux.. Idk why but I always get a kick out of seeing performance gains on Linux, even if I'm not directly benefiting.

I used my Steam Controller so much I wore out the thumbstick and broke some of the plastic surrounding the stick. I also broke one of the shoulder buttons and had to have somebody 3d print a replacement part. In the end, I bought a barely used second hand controller. So I will definitely be grabbing the new Steam Controller.

I feel like the user base needs to triple before they will even look our way. 3% is a great start.. But we need closer to 10% imho. For that to happen the Steam Machines would have to be very competitively priced. From the sounds of it Valve aren't going to go super aggressive on the pricing. I wish they would though as it would really shake things up.

Unreal is very nostaglic for me. For about a decade after it's release I used to play the game once a year. I remember going to the oldunreal site and updating it with the high res textures etc.

It's nice to see there is still love for this classic game but I'm struggling to see the point as it looks like they're mostly just updating textures and slightly tweaking some geometry.

Only thing needed is to set it as executable and it appears to work fine. chmod +x OCCT
I haven't tried it fully yet but it detected my hardware and it looks really nice. I'm not used to seeing such nice user interface on a native Linux app like this so that surprised me. Great work from all who were involved in the projected.

Quoting: FauconNoirI was thinking that maybe they artificially push it to the top sellers to advertise it...

They could do that. But with how the actual Linux user share has been trending to its highest levels I don't think so.

The only gripe I have is publishers not working with Valve on their anticheat after so much progress in that area.
