Why the fuck would you want 4k on a 16" screen? Especially as fractional scaling isn't exactly issue-free yet either...
Other than that, it indeed looks like a nice little machine!

Valve fix new EA app in Proton Experimental for Linux and Steam Deck

Quoting: adolsonI don't even understand why it's allowed on Steam to have these intermediate launcher things. .

It is allowed because there are enough people dumb enough to still buy it.
This whole fiasko is a perfect example on why a secondary launcher without any purpose should be 100% boycotted.
Secondary launchers like for example from paradox that provide modding functionality are borderline acceptable, everything else should die and burn in hell.

Quoting: KimyrielleEA doesn't care about anything that's not Windows or console. revenue

There, fixed it for you ;)

I was a bit surprised when i got the hardware survey prompt on my deck. Somehow would have thought they don't need the survey they... ^^

Funny enough, the menu bar ingame alone causes a landslide of nostalgia... xD

Quoting: IperpidoMaybe it could convince Meta to add Linux support in the future... (i don't see this happening anytime soon, if ever, but who knows)

one would think that the typical Linux-User and Meta are about as incompatible as it gets ;)

Quoting: melkemindThis is my first time hearing about it. What kind of issues do you have?

Yeah i bought it because it was said to be working well out of the box, too ;)
It wouldn't connect properly in switchmode and constantly vibrate (and not work in some games) in PC-mode.

I've already narrowed it down a bit (thanks to the awesome xpadneo dev, too: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/391 ) that is has something to do with interference from xpadneo.

So when you don't have xpadneo installed (that i need for my xbox series controller though) and connect via switch mode, it indeed seems to work fine from short tests. Connected in PC mode without xpadneo (so using hid_microsoft module) works fine, but has no vibration. And xpadneo loaded with a quriks flag (for disabling rumble in the triggers as far as i understand) gets rid of the constant vibration, still has no vibration in games though and makes it so some games don't pick it up at all...

Very strange all in all ^^

Just bought a GuliKit King Kong 2 controller, but as i still have some issues with it (apparently the first one to have those issues, as always...) i'll keep my xbox one controller in ;D

Just another prove that i am right in boycotting useless secondary launchers...

Quoting: RavenWings@Termy & 1xok: Would be very interresting to know if they updated to a newer Delta without the whine.

Well i got mine pretty early on, delivered in early april - so i guess that would have been known by now if i'm an indication ^^

Interesting - apparently, i've got the Delta fan?! I'm either lucky with the fan or too old to hear that high pitched whine it seems
