System76 working on a standalone PC case, plus a big Open Firmware upgrade

System76 are making very cool hardware and software. If only they had a local retailer here in Europe, I would buy their stuff but with import taxes it's totally overpriced.

I also recommend Prey which is a great immersive sim shooter.

GE-Proton 7-53 is out now fixing up Star Citizen, Diablo IV and more
26 Mar 2023 at 3:17 pm UTC

Quoting: rustybroomhandleProton Experimental also now has the Diablo IV fixes, as tweeted by Pierre-Loup Griffais. Very intereting public confirmation of Valve supporting non-Steam titles.

I haven't been able to run Diablo IV beta on my PC for now.
Even using Lutris with the right Wine-GE version or Steam with any Proton version the game just crashes and seems to not love my Nvidia card.

On the Steam Deck though it works, but even there it's not flawless. Sometimes the game slows down and even crashes SteamOS (the Deck reboots) which is something I've never experienced before with any other game.

That's very good numbers. I'm looking forward for January numbers early next year, now the Deck starts shipping in Japan, that should be very interesting :)

A lot of people were clearly waiting on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

I currently have a jsaux, but I will order the Valve one. I'm not happy with Jsaux's design and the fact it blocks a little bit the Deck's air inlet.

The upgraded ivoler Steam Deck Docking Station is another good choice

At least this one does not obstruct the ventilation.

Facepunch put out a fresh statement on Rust for Steam Deck / Linux
7 Oct 2022 at 11:38 am UTC Likes: 13

Game devs "grown up" in an environment where their user has no control on its machine's OS, therefore they thought that client side anti-cheat with a kernel rootkit was a silver bullet against cheaters.
With the rise of FOSS and Linux on consumer hardware it changes everything.
One day, all those people will have to admit that kernel level anti-cheat is not future proof and maybe they will start to find another solution.
Server side anti cheat supervised by AI could be the next better solution against cheaters.

Prodeus cancels the Native Linux version, focusing on Proton compatibility (updated)
6 Sep 2022 at 10:00 am UTC Likes: 4

Unfortunately this is a trend that will go on in the future.
Making native Linux games is hard especially when you have to deal with third party engine which may not handle Linux as well as Windows.
