As I understand it, the conversion to PE format (Portable Executable) helps with some copy protection schemes that check that modules on-disk and in-memory are identical.

This thread on the Fedora development list also mentions that it improves compatibility with some applications (again it could be copy protection but the author isn't explicit about it).

The thread gets pretty technical and Fedora-specific.

I had a great time playing Yooka-Laylee and it was perfect with my Steam controller. I can recommend it.

This is the first game that sparked any interest in me for getting the Steam Deck. This is a portable game I'd play the heck out of.

Am I the the only one hesitant to remove native games in case they disappear from Steam?

I'm looking forward to the improved speed and other features but not looking forward to buying another new MB, fan, RAM and most likely PSU (because why not). It looks like early versions may be limited to 16 cores.

I think it may be a good thing for the Discord employees. Any with shares could get a nice profit after the IPO. If MS bought them outright then only the execs would benefit.

They haven't done Linux builds for a while https://github.com/coelckers/Raze/issues/160 [External Link] but it wasn't a big problem to build ZMusic and Raze from source. I was able to launch Duke3D Atomic, Duke3D Shareware and Redneck Rampage and the first levels played great. I tried Redneck Rampage with Vulkan and the Dukes with OpenGL.

I had to copy the .GRP files into /usr/share/games/raze for it to find them (I changed the default prefix from /usr/local to /usr).

Quoting: RoosterWhy not throw some funny looking chicken in the mix? Or penguins :wink:

Chickens and penguins don't travel in herds so it breaks the name of the game.

I play exclusively single-player for similar scheduling reasons and it's fine. You have to do all the grunt work yourself (resource collection) so for me anyway it's slower going than those in the valheim channel on Discord but I'm still enjoying it after many hours.
