Ah, more not available products. Nice.:dizzy:

There it is - Steam breaks 28 million users online
9 Jan 2022 at 10:34 pm UTC

Just how many of those millions will buy a Steam Deck though? It's going to be fun to find out.
And how much of them will install Windows on it, because of not running games in light of your EAC article?

Hopefully not to much, as the Deck may not be that great for competitive games.

For people interested in playing board games at social distance,

Gloomhaven [External Link]

may be interesting. It is a nice adaption of the board game containing tactical turn based combat and RPG elements.
I started playing it with friends a few days ago and it is very well made and runs great with proton. As we have to live with distancing again because of Corona, this one brings us fun to play together online.

You can tell the devs if you are interested in Linux support here:

As they mentioned to be open to support linux.
But I can actually say, I played with friends who are on windows and did not have an issue.

I would like too.
But I must manage to get a GFX card at a reasonable price first...

NVIDIA takes on AMD FSR with their new open source Image Scaling

Fragmentation is well known in the Linux community. So we can easily deal with that and call it choice.

Nvidia could have done better, but no one is forced to use their solution.

Quoting: BeamboomOh ffs. Do even windows users use that one? What does the browser stats say?
It's actually more popular than Firefox overall, going by multiple stats websites.
Many Corporations force the use of MS Tech on business PCs and Notebooks. Not everyone has a choice...

GOG removes HITMAN after customer backlash over online features
11 Oct 2021 at 8:53 am UTC

Isn't that weird?
Why wouldn't it be enough to make clear, that you need an online connection for the features X,Y,Z.

The customer can decide if it is ok or not.

Things like online rankings without internet connection is not possible, but even not a bad thing.

For a third month in a row, Linux remains above 1% on the Steam Hardware Survey

In my Steam name is mentioned, that I use Linux.
Since the Deck is announced, there are more people asking about that and are interested in a positive way.

So there are people interested and that alone is a good thing.

So perhaps we gain more desktop users and in addition with the deck users we might smash MacOS and get Number 2 after Windows - that would be nice...

'Deckard' is apparently the codename for a possible standalone Valve VR headset

Nice, actually I am hoping to get a new GFX card, so that I can also think about buying an Index.
Perhaps, this new thing is cooler and who knows, when a GFX card will be available at a reasonable price...

Epic Games announce full Easy Anti-Cheat support for Linux including Wine & Proton

Quoting: KimyrielleNot sure why they thought it would be a good idea to make developers perform a "few clicks" to enable other platform support. Developers quite frankly shouldn't have a say about what platforms people run their software on. Just enable it for all EAC games, with no way to turn it off. :S
Hm, freedom of choice - but not for game devs?
No one should be forced to support Linux IMHO.
