But they are fine that the EAC-Team splits resources for Mac? Which afaik, after googling, got support the same day as linux/steam deck? Which seems to even have full native support still (I guess mac doesn't have something as effective as Proton, so it's not that easy to ditch support for it)?

I'm really struggling to buy that. I really don't want to be a conspiracy guy that always sees the evil in people/companies but I'm genuinely struggling in this case.

Did we already know that valve is actively asking companies to also offer SteamOS and offering them advertisement on their website? I mean, we knew that SteamOS will be released for general usage and that some handheld companies have an interest in SteamOS, but I didn't know that valve is already actively marketing it and asking for cooperations. At least to me that's news and that's actually pretty exciting to me.

I went into the Pipewire rabbit hole recently (why my answer is so delayed relative to the article's age) and my god, it's so nice to have something just work and still have so much functionality. After messing around a bit with Helvum and qpwgraph, I found Carla through a youtube video which does basically the same thing as those tools, but allows you to also add VST-Plugins etc. to any audio stream which honestly blew my mind. It even works super well with EasyEffects as the effects are just another "node" in Carla which you can rearrange, (dis)connect however you please. Super impressed. Maybe worth checking out as well if one has interest in using VST/LV2 Plugins in audio streams. It even has a bridge for windows vst plugins, though I haven't messed with that yet as it seemed to be a bit more involved to get working.

So.. considering there is no word of it, is there someone else that has the issue that goverlay does not read the config to set the values you've already applied? I tried it yesterday and while it set everything up just fine, once I restarted goverlay it would use the default values instead of the values in the config. Which is pretty annoying if you want to change just one setting (though I guess then you could just change it in the config itself). Great tool, makes setting it up the first time pretty easy, but has issues. At least on my machine

I like Plasma. Been using it for several years now, feels great. Very flexible.

If you use Wayland, you will also appreciate the new option that lets you configure the mouse and touchpad scroll speed.

Okay, now do that with X11, which is still the default for most. That setting has been missing for a while now (on my end at least) and it screws up scrolling in games.

Well the new build makes mesa-aco crash it seems like. As soon as it's done loading into a world, the screen stays white for a bit before it crashes the gpu. Tried many things but it seems to be an experimental build issue here. Other games run fine and even the stable build doesn't seem to have issues here. Hm.

mesa-aco 19.3 btw

EDIT: Alright, after a bit more testing it seems to be a proton 4.11-3 (and perhaps older versions) issue. If I use the Proton-GE 4.15-4 version, the game loads just fine. Maybe the next proton release will fix that.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Considering that I very rarely install anything, I think I will be just fine. Still, this needs to be fixed asap!

The guy that found it, nice but he really has to handle those things the right way. I'm certain he knows how to handle it correctly, but he just doesn't care. According to his twitter he is a "whitehat wizard" while sharing basically a tutorial on how to do it on one of kde's replies. I'm sorry but that's just.. I have many words and yet, I won't post any because I don't want this comment to be removed. Very untrustworthy and disqualifies him immediately as a "whitehat". Should be ashamed of his actions just to be "the cool kid".

I have such big trust issues in microsoft that I can't think in any other way than how they will turn this one into an evil plan nobody thinks of at this time.
