Quoting: neffoI the only person who has Steam Big Picture running very slowly (like 10 fps) on Desktop Linux ... though it's fine in games though?

I've not seen anyone else mention it but I can't work out what it is.

New Big Picture Mode is also still terribly buggy and slow on NVIDIA when trying it on Desktop, pretty much unusable. Hopefully Valve or NVIDIA can solve that.

Ubisoft don't even use any Steam features for their recent releases, instead just using their own launcher for cloud saves, achievements, social etc. So I can't imagine them doing much of anything to support Linux, Steam Deck.

Ubisoft are a bit dense though. Guillemot blames employees. Employees are going on strike. I wish them good luck. May they make the suits squirm.

Quoting: mr-victory
Quoting: rustybroomhandleDeckard is ARM based, so I'm going out on a limb here and predicting that it will not actually be used to run games locally, but instead be used to stream from your more powerful PC hardware.
Source?
EDIT: Found it, near the bottom in https://uploadvr.com/brad-lynch-new-deckard-findings/ [External Link]

Too lazy to Google now where I saw it mentioned. I should have qualified it with "supposedly" though since we don't actually have a any confirmed facts about this thing and it's a lot of speculation.

Quoting: mphuZThis is for SteamOS, not for Deckard.

And what flavour of Linux do you think Deckard will run in standalone mode?

What I want to see in 2023 for Linux, Gaming, Steam Deck and more

SteamOS 3 wide release should be accompanied by some movement on Steam controller 2. If they are hoping for there to be third party "big deck" consoles then the controller is essential as a common denominator for the hardware.

Quoting: 1xokShouldn't it be possible to display the mangoHUD horizontally? I can't find the option.

It's only in the Preview branch for now, as far as I know.

Immortals Fenyx Rising now on Steam but quite messy on Steam Deck
16 Dec 2022 at 8:14 am UTC

I played this at launch, and had no such issues. Wondering what introduced them, Proton updates or game updates. I'm guessing there's a magic Proton version out there with a specific dxvk build that probably still works well. I do remember using a self-compiled dxvk for some reason* though that I had to manually copy into the game's directory.

*EDIT: Although at that time I was building it from source pretty much all the time as it was moving so fast

Sid Meier's Civilization VI gets a 'Leader Pass', breaks it on Linux and macOS

It's unlikely to get fixed unless 2K/Firaxis explicitly pay Aspyr to do so. So in all likelihood probably safer in the long run to just play the Windows version.
