It would be nice to see or know if AMD and Intel do support the features they mention as not coming because of a lack of support by wayland. How that post is formulated it sounds like it's waylands fault, but if the other have those features then is it because of their bin blob?

I think opensuse solved this whole equal question years ago very simple, one installer and you simply select, neither is preselected.

My Thursday evening:

Epic: get freebie(s)
Prime: get freebies

It's totally ridiculous how many free games are in my gog, Epic and steam catalogues.
Prime been pushing a lot of gog the last few months, they already did a lot of Epic and a steam now and then.

If valve left it to the developers you would have a list of maybe a few 100 supported games instead of the X thousands of games you have now. Most developers do not care and don't want the burden of having to test their game and ticking a checkbook after which they can be held responsible if any further game or proton update break things. Old games would never be verified as developers have moved on and really can't be bothered to test a game from 2021 for maybe a handful of new sales.

For developers it's simply cost vs benefits. How many decks have been sold and how many of those decks are pure deck users (so have no windows for gaming) and how many of those are interested in buying this game vs how much does it cost me to get the game working now and in the future.

If you're into online games then you will always be having potential issues as online cheating evolves so do these anti cheating tools so tbh I feel that buying online games for the deck is simply a risk you either are willing to take or not.

And the more windows based handheld get released the less interested developers will become in steam deck,

So what Vale does now is probably as good as it gets for single players, as for online it should always be unsupported unless de developer says otherwise.

It remains a shame that even after the success of the steam deck and proton and steam os the big vendors still keep going back to windows 11. As long as that keeps happening Linux will never really take off. But I guess they rather pay MS a fee for the licence and hire some programmers for another custom app. Money much better spend on steam os and the Linux kernel.

A shame.

It is probably very negative from me, but I read

We are investigating

As "no, but we rather not say that out loud to avoid any negative backlash"

But hopefully I am wrong.

Amazing how a thread about a backdoor in xz ended up posts about windows 95, the law and killing people.

Ooh and enjoy April 1st [External Link]
