Quoting: soulsourcePSA: I had to learn the hard way that "Steam Deck Verified" does not mandate any gamepad support. As long as the game is playable with touchpad/touchscreen, it can get the green checkmark.

Any Controller??

Think you might need to look again.

Steam Controller should have better success than either XBox controller or PlayStation controller, as the config should be directly mappable to the SteamDeck controls, should just work out of the box in the same way as Steam Deck controls.

Plus you have community configurations. Touchpad should just work with right pad.

Is there any way of playing Counter Strike solo?

Would love a single player campaign mode.

Only thing I had against it.

Still notice that the unsupported games in my library are full of disappointments.

Who wouldn’t love to play Elite Dangerous on their Steam Deck?

Mojang sounded fairly committed to their Linux client before Microsoft bought them out.

Oh well, first Scype, then MineCraft.

Another Linux friendly product destroyed by Microsoft. Microsoft now loves Linux !! :grin:

News report :: Microsoft reportedly discussing plans to acquire Mozilla after their failed attempt at porting the Edge browser to Chrome.

Quoting: CheesenessAnother thing to note about this game was that it was made on Linux (the lead developer uses Ubuntu).

Quoting: Craggles086failed to comprehend that UP was Thrust.

This is only when "classic mode" controls are enabled - I don't think that's the default?

Quoting: Craggles086Starting again I finally realised that left stick was not just steering but also thrust, which I hate

Enabling "classic mode" might be what you're after then, but the previous comment suggested you were already using that? Here's both for reference.

The speedrun options screen also allows in-game dialogue to be turned off if you hadn't spotted that (unless you're referring to the 40 second scroll only the opening of the first level that can be over in about 5 or so if you hold down the fire button - I don't think anything lets you further skip that).

Thanks, classic control setting seems to be working better for me.

Did add left and right steering to the left stick in the steam controls configuration.

So I had more complaints about Ubuntu's use of Snaps then I ever had of Mir.

Ubuntu put some early work into Wayland if I remember correctly before Wayland was on anyones radar, before they decided that Mir was more suited to their purposes.

Would have been nice to see more support for Mir on the desktop from the open source community when Mir and Wayland looked like they were competing against similar goals. Good things have come out of a bit of competition, even in the open source community. Just look at gnome vs kde.

As far as Ubuntu being the source of the NIH philosophy, wasn't SystemD a bit of NIH from the Fedora / Redhat team, and now it is incorporated throughout most of Linux?

"You are the Pilot, a volunteer in the United Earth Navy, assigned to the U.E.N. Hornet, a new ship with an experimental engine that allows it to warp behind enemy lines. Launching your small fighter craft from the Hornet, your mission is to sabotage the enemy by raiding their bases and disrupting their power supply network made up of reactor cores connected through hyperspace."

Why do all games now require 2 minutes of story before you get to the action?

What was wrong with the old idea of just throwing you in there?
No I don't know why I'm here. I really don't care just let me dodge rocks and shoot the enemy.

So I just tried playing the game, read ten pages of story (slight exageration),
and failed to comprehend that UP was Thrust.

Trying to play this game on a Gamepad, I tried every single button on the Gamepad.
Starting again I finally realised that left stick was not just steering but also thrust,
which I hate and had to remap it to right trigger before I was happy.

Think it has been too long since I gamed primarily using keyboard. The C64 used the joystick up for thrust a bit in similar games. But it was harder to try and do left right on a joystick and slip into up by mistake, where modern gamepads it seems pretty easy to slip into the y axis.

Was thinking of sending Fall Guys my money.

I guess that’s cancelled then.
If Epic are paying them they don’t need my money anyway.

Quoting: Guesti'm currently using the Nobara Project OS which is Fedora with extra's for gaming. It has being on 36 for a while with very little issues, hopefully this update will fix all of those :D

Think I will wait a bit for Nobara to get more established. Perfectly happy with Manjaro for now.
So Nobara is strictly Gnome and Plasma flavours currently. Do I really want to game in Gnome?
