Gamescope (used on Steam Deck) adds in some VR support

Gamescope is just a generic layer. So yes, it will have support for VR on the deck if that support is needed in Gamescope. It would be foolish to have a VR specific build of gamescope, because then you will have 2 versions to maintain.
I mean: the deck has also support for iscsi, fcoe, dj controllers. It would be foolish to step away too far from a vanilla setup because it is hard to maintain.
The only special thing about the linux kernel is that it has patches for the deck that are not yet in vanilla.
So why would they make seperate builds for gamescope.
If anything: we now know that deckard runs linux and gamescope (we already knew it runs linux, now we know it runs gamescope too).
I wish gamescope became so generic (It can't because it uses vulkan standards that they have yet to submit as a standard), that I already could run it on my desktop.

The open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver 'NVK' begins to run games

Time that I spend on my computer having fun is time well spend.
Time that I spend on my computer fixing nvidia shit is time I should have gotten paid. So that's time that I loose money, because I could have just worked in that time and get paid. And my job is a lot more fun than fixing proprietary shit, or trying the latest opensource drivers for hardware of a company that has no intention to help.
So I choose to do real work (that I like), getting paid real money, that I can spend on a Valve supported card and having fun time with it.
The last nvidia mistake I made was in 2016 when I bought a steam machine.
The last nvidia incident I got was a few years later, when I returned my refurbished thinkpad for repair and I got one with an unwanted nvidia power sink returned. The intel HD4000 performs better than the nvidia, because intel supports their stuff.

Quoting: Cmdr_IrasInteresting project; though I have of course just swapped my Nvidia GTX1070 for a AMD RX 6700XT.I look at it like this:

I played those already on the VP port... It was a total linux bundle as I recall.
The only thing I am missing from the franchise is the 3rd remastered.

All it needs is a 3d printed case to attach it to the deck so it is like inserting a cartridge into your deck.
A lot of people were clearly waiting on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

I would have bought the jsaux. But the fact that the steam dock is upgradable using steam os is very important. So now I will get a steam deck dock.
I've seen enough crappy devices to know that a good device is half the USB problems. Especially since USB used to suck on linux when it comes to devices that did not follow spec, or that time that de USB host driver writers interpreted the spec wrong.

JSAUX announce their new Steam Deck Dock with an M.2 SSD slot

The right bottom is a B-key only.
B-key defines 2xPCIe, a sata and usb 3 and a few others.
The M-key defines 4xPCIe and not the few others of the.
As the standard does not say you have to *have* that pinout, it says you have to *expect* those signals.
Combining M+B makes sure you only have PCIe (up to 4x) and sata I think.
Just the B-key sounds almost like a full featured PCIe bus (as PCIe also has usb and other lanes available).

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYou are correct though, 1 is the M key and the other is the B key.Quoting: mr-victoryIf I knew nothing about these things, which I don't, I'd say the picture is a rather elaborate way of saying "This Way Up" :grin:Quoting: jordicomaIt has M key support and not M key support.On bottom left picture, there is a long connector on the left and a short one on the right. On bottom right it is opposite.
So some M key work and the others not?

Oh thank you very much. I was trying to get debootstrap working on the deck, but it seems to only really work from a debian system.
But a complete lx(c|d) system is all that I wanted to get my deck to be 100% useful for my work.

Meeh, now I don't have a special status anymore as one of the chosen few with a Deck. Now everyone will have a deck.

The best thing is they added icons to trackpad menus. So PAGE_DOWN will not look like a html form field that's too small to hold 3 letters, it will actually have a premade icon. It really looks good.
