Quoting: LeprottoI am concerned on RDNA2 it will be just a label, more or less. Not supporting INT8 natively will make it a burden to emulate.AFAIU all DLSS versions are supported back to the 2070 series and they don't all work super well with it, but it gives the end user a choice. I'm glad AMD is finally going to do the same.
Subnautica 2 is looking good on Desktop Linux, it's okay on Steam Deck with caveats

The game crashes at the splash screen on my 3090 (580 driver) but works on a different system with a 9070 XT. So I'm happy enough. I'll troubleshoot it later.
If you drop (or throw) your new Steam Controller it will scream at you

The first game took me forever to get through because I couldn't handle long gaming sessions: it was too intense. The very remembrance of hiding in a locker while it lurked outside gives me goosebumps.

I'm no fan of AI but making it easier to run locally is IMHO a decent idea. I occasionally use ramalama to run cli models but having a GUI could be useful for coding. You'd probably want to get a smart plug so you can calculate how much local models cost you. My 3090 Ti regularly goes to 400W when asking complicated questions.

Quoting: fenglengshunSigh.Energy is in short supply and increasing in price as well.
I don't even have the energy to care anymore.

They recommend the flatpak but by default the locations in the flatpak are different from the shipped binary. I didn't look at the details yet but the flatpak isn't a drop-in replacement for me.
Goverlay for managing tools like MangoHud gets a major new release and it's finally on Flathub

I wonder if there is a way in goverlay to not save the configuration on every change to make it easier to try out other modes without zapping the current config. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

I've disabled AI in Augmented Steam for now but if SteamDB gets parity I'll switch to that in a heartbeat.

Quoting: scaineAgreed. Denuvo is an instant no-buy and I appreciate its visibility.Quoting: zerodoggI switched to the SteamDB extension instead of Augmented Steam when this was first pushed out. It works great.This looks superb, and I'll likely do the same. But one feature I'll miss is the big banner that Augmented Steam puts across any game that has Denuvo. I also like the pop-up that overlays the entire game page if it uses AI.

I don't think you're going to get away from AI in Linux until someone forks a distribution to explicitly remove any AI contributions. Good luck identifying them all.
FWIW I'm not a big fan of AI either. I write enough lousy code myself. I don't need AI piling on.

Aye okay. Ignore all the perfectly valid reasons that many, many people have for despising AI.I think ssj17vegeta was being practical. It goes without saying that folks are using AI to develop open source that is landing in Linux distributions. That is just a fact.
