Quoting: CaldathrasSadly, Bazzite is not for me. They have very poor Nvidia legacy hardware support. CachyOS, on the other hand ...

How legacy are we talking? Nouveau is getting quite nice these days :)

I will never understand the "distros" that mostly change the default DE.
There should simply be a "Ubuntu Community Edition" or something, with a choice of DE at install.
No point in splitting resources over like 50 almost identical *buntu.

Got the second one with a humble bundle, thought I was gonna install something from epic with heroic more than for the lulz, but now I feel more like sailing the seven seas and find it that way...

How is this a thing? Almost every gamedeveloper nowadays are using unreal engine + they have the epic store, how are they this impacted by just Fortnite losing players?

Quoting: sonic2kkI don't think Persona 3 Reload makes it clear, but the "Reflections" setting is what toggles ray-tracing. On desktop at 4k and Steam Deck at 800p, I don't see any visual difference

It's only the reflections in windows and mirrors, it doesn't really matter overall though, but it completely removes reflections if you turn it off.

A lot of swedish studios in the list...
Makes me very sad if some of them where to close... :(

Quoting: ElectricPrismAwesome, this increases the reach of these games as they can be played on more devices with lower specs.

I wonder if you could run this with box86 and play on Raspberry Pi 4 or other devices not originally intended for gaming.

It does make a big difference having the extra frames especially with FPS and fast moving games.

Since Black MESA is HL2 it would be really cool to get Vulkan imported into Black Mesa too.

As long as the opengl version is an option, otherwise those with GPUs older than AMD 6xxx, Nvidia 5xx, and Intel HD 3xxx won't be able to play at all.

Yeah, Mac Blesa has been all kinds of borked every time I've tried the native Linux version(AMD GPU), so I've just used proton, native vulkan would be nice :)

Quoting: TermyWell, silently changing the specs for some is bound to annoy people. If Valve would have been upfront about it, done a blogpost explaining it and providing their benchmarks, i guess nobody really would complain.
But changing it an hoping noone will notice is bound to be perceived as deceptive and not taking the customer serious...

Are we sure someone has received it with a slower SSD before they updated the page? Though they probably should have sent a short mail at least saying there is an update to the specs, or provide some benchmarks that proves their claims.
As this means more steam decks will get into the hands of more people, I'm for it, but it could have been handled better.

As others have pointed out, it will hit other bottlenecks before the storage, I don't even think a SATA based SSD would be any noticable difference...

If they could only incorporate the libdrc [External Link] project now that the emulator is coming to Linux, this would reach perfection, although this is great news and I will definitely set this up when it's available.
