Yeah, my knowledge of the Linux audio stack isn't strong enough to try to replace PulseAudio with PipeWire just yet. I'll hopefully be able to try the work around in a few days on my day off.

This seems nice. I'm glad it seems they are emphasizing the need to test out the Linux and wine support. I think it would be bad if devs update thier games only to add breakage or new bugs.

I wonder how many games will get updates? I'd imagine older or smaller titles won't benefit.

Quoting: MohandevirIs Pipewire the solution to the long standing audio degradation issue with PulseAudio, when it comes to in-home streaming from a Linux host?

I have to disable all HDMI audio devices in Pavucontrol of the host computer to prevent that from happening.

Huh... I'll have to try that fix. Pretty much made everything unplayable for me after an hour or two. Thanks for sharing!

Quoting: slaapliedjeWasn't this in the FreeType2 package, where the break was?

My understanding was the opposite, but I must admit I could be wrong. I'm self taught, so I could be reading it the wrong way, but I figure if Valve has to patch Steam to work, it's likely not a Free type bug, right?

Edit: Looking at the github again, it appears Valve was shipping steam with libraries that were too out of date. Am I reading that right?

Quoting: EikeTo say it more clearly: I fear some actually support Linux despite making a net loss.

I think that's believable. One could argue the "loss" is less by looking at it as skill development or training. Probably cheaper in the long run to multiplatform a smaller game at a "loss" and then apply those skills to develop larger, more profitable projects later on.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm not sure they've actually said such things, or we've just assumed that's what they'll do, because it'd be madness otherwise.

Lol. I don't see anyine saying Arch is buggy here. Obviously because Arch didn't break. Steam did. It's on them to fix it. Could have been any distro. That's what testing is for.

Quoting: GuestEven if Valve use their own repos, issues can still happen

Agreed, but that's on Valve to fix it. They are promising a console like experience after all.

I'll have to try this one again. After my umpteenth death and starting over, I just got frustrated. With all the dialog and starting options, it seems more like a regular RPG rather than a rogue like, so I'm cool with a non permadeath mode.

Ok, this looks nice.... Might have to start signing up for more overtime.

The only thing. The normal edition mentions bluetooth, but the DIY edition does not. Hopefully just a typo.

I really like the "expansion card" idea, even if it's just a USB hub, the implementation has potential. I will say the card options are a little underwhelming, 2 USB sticks and a few adapters. Especially since you have to pay extra for them when that stuff is standard on most laptops. Hopefully they expand the line up. I'd love to see an Ethernet adapter, old VGA, multi usb C, etc.

Definitely saving up for this one.

Quoting: detroutWas it patent trolls that took the steam controller off the market, and not poor sales?

Sales would be my guess, combined with mixed reviews and poor support.

Quoting: GuestWell Leap 15.3 he did not cover but yes when reading post abut other DEs or Distros I questioning the same as well :D

Cause Tumbleweed's better, j/k lol.

But back to debian, I've used it for years as a gaming system with good results. Thier support for Nvidia drivers was very good compared to my current distro (Opensuse), which seems to struggle everytime the kernel updates.

I have a 13 year old server that runs on debian. Still running. Good stuff.
