Quoting: ArtenCouple of my natives games are unsuported. Surviveing mars for example. It run on my OS, so what is different? Only one think on my mind is gamescope...All the games that are in my unsupported list are games that I play. Except for a serious sam vr only title because I have no VR, but I felt compelled to support cro-team, as they initially showed on linux what the problem was with high end cards and jitter on windows.
Valve clarifies how they test Native Linux or Proton for Steam Deck

But somethink like ARK: survival evolved, or ETS, or ATS, I play them on Proton.
They did fine when they were linux native, but now proton seems to work better. Because proton is vulkan, and all these titles are doing opengl.
Maybe that's also the issue with Dying Light. Steam machines always had an nvidia card. So maybe it was an nvidia vs AMD opengl "compatibility" issue. (Made for nvidia)

Quoting: BielFPsI always thought Dying Light really played well under linux. I did a lot of time with my steam machine.If the Linux build fails compatibility tests or otherwise experiences significant issues, we'll then test the Windows build of your game running under Proton.Judging by this message, I bet Dying Light will be one of those games who will be opted to run on Proton by default despise having a "native" version.

The biggest problem is that people allow untrusted third parties to run kernel level drivers on the same hardware that they are using for internet banking.
Clearly easy anticheat is a very dangerous backdoor in the already subpar protection of windows.
What I don't get is how something like easy anticheat can get it's stuff into the windows kernel. That means that microsoft is supporting them?

Stadia continues the slow downward spiral

If they could strike a deal with Valve, letting Steam users play their games throw Stadia (renting a game render server), I would actually use it. But it is yet another walled garden. And I don't see that any of the profits they make is returned into Linux.
So for me it's Valve Tax or contribute.

Nice, I bought it in beta. The graphics were very good. Nice watery graphics on linux.
I assume it is still good, but I wonder if I need to use native drivers or better use proton, as proton seems to work a lot better than native opengl these days.

dbrand are cooking up something big for the Steam Deck

Actually this doesn't look like the steam deck at all but like the ayaneo next, or something else.
The only thing that looks steamy is the pad and the words steam deck upside down.
From this picture, any steam deck goodness (grip etc.) and usability has been replaced with slickness.

Quoting: minkiuThe usb-c port is at the top, and the official dock seems to have a cable to plug it on top, thus this "case" would "allow" to have it upside down while still looking cool.I think that what is rendered as a button, is actually the USB-C port. The heat exhaust is at the top side, not the bottom.

Easy Anti-Cheat not as simple as expected for Proton and Steam Deck

So Epic actually uses the steam deck to force users to get an epic online account.
I think this shows why EAC is evil.
The question is: what can you do to get around this? Rewrite to another anti cheat?
My biggest question is always: why an anti cheat? What games are worth playing with an anti-cheat?
I mean people will still complain that you are using cheats. So why all this trouble for the end user?
EDIT:
I now read that log in is not needed for the new EAC. I think Valve has yet again helped us there.
Thank you Valve!

System76 tease their new 'Kudu' laptop with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX

Still no laptop with AMD?
https://system76.com/laptops/pangolin [External Link]
Why do they say there is a limit on the size of the SSD?
You either support SATA and PCIe x4 or not.
Or does that have to do with booting? Because if so, they should just state it.

And here I am, waiting for wayland support on my second seat. I don't care about my first, because I use that one for my DJ equipment.
