Quoting: ShmerlWow, that's a big deal. Nouveau will get reclocking, after forever being stuck without it!
The Firmware for post Turing cards is not there yet to enable that.
The stuff they released is not complete yet and still out of tree.
Will take time to become useful.

Quoting: GuestThere was Cursebreaker, but thanks to Overwolf's changes that and other addon managers are left to die out in favor of their adware/spyware delivery monitization client.
The infrastructure and employees need to be paid for somehow.

Heroic Games Launcher for Epic & GOG gets themes, platform selection, favourites
11 May 2022 at 12:27 pm UTC

Quoting: TheRiddickDoes this still need that legendary script engine or is it built in now?
Heroic still uses Legendary for interacting with the epicgames servers, but you don't have to install it yourself as it is shipped with Heroic.

Quoting: EhvisI'd rather have Amazon support since the Twitch App/Amazon Games App are a much bigger pain to deal with.
The foundation is built already. Similar to legendary, which implements the epic games api as cli tool, there is https://github.com/imLinguin/nile/ [External Link] which covers amazon games.
It is just not tied into the Heroic GUI yet and hasn't received the same amount of testing.

Quoting: constWished for a Top 100 Pokemon-like games for Linux/Steam Deck. :D

I think an overview across the Nintendo Originals would also be good.
Nintendo themselfes made quite a few remakes across multiple platforms and i absolutely lost track which
edition is a remake of which other edition, which platforms they run on, which areas you can visit and which Pokemon can be caught where and in which editions and the background story.
That would fit perfectly well with the Emudeck article :wub:

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualCan't get past one mention of GOG without talking about how GOG Galaxy doesn't have a GNU/Linux build.
There are various tools that cover that need like MiniGalaxy and Heroic.
The latter also installs linux native builds if available.
