Clearing up what games will and won't run on the Steam Deck

I used to be preoccupied with "how are we going make Linux as widely used as windows". But after quite sometime of going full Linux user/gamer I no longer see it as good thing.

First of all I think Linux will never be a mainstream OS, that is if we want Linux to conserve it's current identity (which in my opinion is what pulls people to the current niche market that it has, I'm ignoring server market here).

I think achieving a full "plug & play" Linux is not gonna be enough to make it go full bombastic.

At this point, I think the PC user all it know is, to install Discord they have to go to discord[dot]com and download a binary blob then double click it and install it, for them, "that's it". Doesn't matter that we know that typing "apt/pamac/yum install discord" is many times faster and simpler.

so I think Steam Deck will be a step up but is not gonna be it in terms of the Linux adoption that we are looking for.

And honestly, I'm OK with the current status, I think more than this will have to be achieved with sacrifices that many of us won't like.

I tried this version of ProtonGE with Monster Hunter World + FSR, I got to say I'm starting to believe in that thing.

Amazing time to be a Linux gamer.

Nice, I tried to use Cadmus but it doesn't work for me, this one does work just fine.

Steam Play Proton 6.3 is out now plus a Proton Experimental update (updated)

Is it just me or does this release fixes the issue where trying to stream some games from pc to Steam Link would give no video on the screen on the steam link but audio ok?

This only happened to me while running games using proton, native games didn't have the issue. Also it only happened for games that opened any sort of window right before opening the actual game, say a non interactive non-in-game splash/launcher screen.

So glad I can use my steam link to stream from Linux again :D

NVIDIA announce the RTX 3090, RTX 3080, RTX 3070 with 2nd generation RTX

I hope I'm wrong, but believe they are talking about Ray Tracing 2x performance 3070 > 2080ti (or games using DLSS), which, if I'm right, is pretty shitty thing to do. I really hope benchmarks prove me wrong, because if they are talking about raw performance, then consumers win!
