Quoting: BogomipsMy Dying Light broke two updates ago. I now have a black and brown screen with the background music.

I recommend Proton. I had the same problem when I first started playing it a few months ago. Works just fine in proton.

Still doing my first play through of the game. It's really fun. I use the proton version with zero issues (except when streaming to a steam link, where I get rare and random freezes)

Regular People actually use Twitter?

I always thought it was a thing famous people would use to get noticed in/on actual news sites....

Interesting. To be honest, I haven't followed the Deck Dock at all it seems.

That's really nice that they upgraded the specs. I'll admit, I think I expected a physical docking station, like laptop or the Switch, where the Deck would Dock on the Deck Dock.

Great game. Great write up too. It's fiendishly hard for a game, yet the stories and successes that come out of it are too good to make one not want to try again!

Quoting: denyasis2). Linux being open source, it simply can't be tossed out, the way Microsoft or Apple can get rid of stuff since it's all in house.

i disagree, android has proven that its possible.
but i dont think valve has the resource to pull an android aproach, nor that they will even try.

I was actually going to mention Android in my first post, but didn't want to get too long winded.

We are actually in agreement to a good degree, I think. A similar strategy to Android is "possible", just not for Valve. Sarmand and CatKiller did an excellent job explaining the economic side above. And even with Android, Linux is still here and improving.

Either way, I hope Linux keeps getting the live it deserves from everyone!

Quoting: setzer22Currently, the only comfortable way to game on the deck is to go via the Steam interface, and even things like emulators need to be wired as non-steam games or they simply won't work well. We need more Lutris, we need more sc-controller, and we need more of whatever is to come that will help us make our Decks less "Steam" gaming machines and more "Linux" gaming machines

I also agree, but I'm a little less skeptical than you. I'm probably in between you and Liam Dawe.

Valve is definitely in the Extend phase of EEE for Linux and wine, and I can see at some point they may consider making the jump to Extinguish (pairing steam off of Linux into it's own thing), but I don't see that as likely or feasible.

1). They lack the resources. Valve is 100% dependant on the free labor of the open source communities. While they've done great work, most of the heavy lifting was done long ago by others.
2). Linux being open source, it simply can't be tossed out, the way Microsoft or Apple can get rid of stuff since it's all in house.

Linux will be just fine.

Quoting: Liam DaweI actually agree there too, which is why I continue to hope the Deck pushes Linux Gaming forwards, so that a bigger market opens up so more stores and vendors take notice :)

I would love to see more Linux support, I hope more games target native/wine in the future.

By chance, are there indicators on how well the deck is doing? I don't read much gaming news elsewhere, and it seems it's doing really well in reviews from what I can tell.

I'm not really a fan of the genre, but this looks awesome. I will have to check out the demo when it releases.

I really like Debian, OpenSuse TW, and recently, Manjaro.

All three really showcase some of the best things I like about Linux and have a few cool things to add as well.

Not that there aren't others I've tried, or other worthy distros to use, those just happen to be the ones I'm most fond of.

I'm using Debian for my home server, same install for almost ten years ( I'm not really sure how to tell since everything in the server has been replaced a few times). I love it because it's stupid simple.

I recently switched to Manjaro for my PC and laptop after several years of OpenSuse. No major problems with OpenSuse, but I was surprised at how fast and snappy Manjaro ran on my old laptop. XFCE is my preferred DE, so I like that it's the default on Manjaro.

I'm actually really surprised how well it scales to such a small screen. It looks really nice!
