does it depend on the camera you are using or do i need some extra packages?

NVIDIA 565.77 stable driver for Linux released

Quoting: legluondunetWhat is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.

DLSS, reflex, nvenc, cuda


No issues to report so far. But had no issues with the beta 565 either, so theres that.

Deep survival game Vintage Story has another massive update approaching in v1.20
5 December 2024 at 1:00 pm UTC

That game is great in many aspects, but combat is just awful. Ther's almost no audio-visual feedback in combat. It's actually so bad that i just can't play it. The rest of the game mechanics are very well done though.

Looks like Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland

Quoting: megaReally wish they'd just make a deb repository already so I don't have to manually update with the .deb method every other day. It seems like people ask for it all the time but they never respond to it for some reason.

you can modify
~/.config/discord/settings.json

with
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true

so it stops nagging you and you can update it when you feel the need :)

They seem to have fixed/improved the Game Activity detection on Linux also. Games run from steam now show nicely what you are playing, instead of wine-preloader or the executable name.
Havent checked with Lutris or other tools and there still might be some detection issues but looks much improved at least.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl review - works on Linux Desktop with Proton but poorly on Steam Deck

the shader compile thing is there yeah, first time it took like 8-10 min to compile. Every launch now is around 40 sec.
no crashes still after 23 hours of playing. no game breaking bugs either. saves and loads work without issues as well.

i guess im lucky, reading all the issues people have

I have the Steam version

Quoting: ShmerlMy guess would be it's making some on-line profile (Steam / GOG) but since I'm not using GOG Galaxy, it fails. But it wastes 15 seconds or more on each startup because of that.

Maybe a strange read-only problem for some settings files in the prefix?
