Currently you cannot set it to just Playable titles.

I'm unsure why I would want to do that, though?

"Give me perfect" and "give me good (including perfect)" seem like the most interesting choices if you are looking for something to play on Deck...

I even have untested shown. That made me start playing The Coma, which is a perfect fit for the deck even though it is still untested.

I get that, too, but why would I want Playable without Verified?
Might be interesting for our database mining :) , but not for the average player.

To have a collection for each?

If you have a collection with verified titles having one with verified + playable would be redundant.

The lack of advanced options for dynamic collections is a sore point. I'd like to perform (A∩B)∪(C∩D) in some cases, but steam only has one operator (I think it's union?). To do stuff like local multiplayer AND deck playable. There's a thread that asks for this: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/3/1629664606987326398/ [External Link]

At the very least allow to pick if it's an and or an or, and specify other collections as filters. The rest can be built up from that.

Also, these options make little sense to me compared to offering 4 categories and allowing to select any subset...

Just got to order mine (64GB, France).

If that helps your estimate, I initially preordered a 256GB kit (on 16th july), but decided to go for a cheaper SKU and upgrade when HW prices are less crazy. the store was having issues, so I got back in on the 18th at 3am.

Regarding keyboard layouts, how are external keyboards handled?

Also: again, why staggered layouts? >:( Grid layouts work much better on touchscreen (and also on physical devices) IME.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThis is the one type of tool that EVERY OS should have build in. I don't know if macOS has one, but Gnome does, KDE does, Windows does not and I have to download the port of kdir (I think that is what it's called). I haven't used Filelight yet, but it seems very much like the Gnome version.

WinDirStat [External Link], the Windows port of KDirStat [External Link].

I'm still using the respective view of Konqueror, though:

Wow, I knew about windirstat and Kdirstat, but had no idea Konquerror could do this!

I wish that view was available to filelight, along with a few others.

One of my favorite games. Nice!

Quoting: UncleSpankyWas Multiwinia also remastered

As far as I can see from Steam news and fixes, nothing has been done at least yet. The linked long chat might reveal something, but I haven't watched it.

No mention of it in the video. I haven't played Multiwinia yet, I hope it gets the same treatment one day!

Hmm, I didn't find the releases notes, but that sounds like a vulkan pipeline cache, mostly, not a shader cache. It could also be indexing vulkan shaders according to their DX conterparts, to avoid a first DXIL (IIRC) to SPIR-V pass.

AFAIK, actually caching *vulkan* shaders should be automatic.

You can use the Left and Right Triggers to select keys

Wait, what did you use instead of triggers before? That's how it works with the SC.

Is there non-staggered layouts (non-typewriter shaped), or someting like the old SC big picture one, which makes more important keys bigger?
More generally, can keyboard skins change the layout? Like the poster above asks :)

when can we expect support of azerty keyboard ?

[fr]
quand peut-on s'attendre à la prise en charge du clavier azerty ?

AZERTY is such a pain, even for writing French... And since it's not like you can use your existing muscle memory anyway, why not go all the way to BÉPO? You could then easily type ÉÈ»«… and others, like non-breaking spaces.

Linus Sebastian from LTT said he had to launch GTA V 7 times IIRC... And it worked only once.
Yes, definitely some issues here.

I like the steam controller virtual keyboard, is there something similar with the touchpads on Steam Deck? I think I would be more proficient with that than a touchscreen.

Quoting: whizseNvidia source release on friday?

About that... see how bad the powerVR source leak turned out for PowerVR drivers.

Although, if there was a verilog leak, things might turn interesting.

That was unexpected. PowerVR until now has been the single worst GPU vendor I can think of. Worse OSS support than nvidia...

Thankfully their IP isn't used a lot these days, it was much more common on the early days of embedded GPUs though (think the first iphones). And the source code leak from some time ago didn't help open source drivers [External Link]. I wonder if they will release documentation for earlier models? That would help efforts like postmarketos or Android on the earlier iphones and other smartphones.

That change of heart probably has something to do with chromebooks, indeed. Let's hope Google doesn't ship Fuschia too soon.

Edit: current PR is for [Series 6XT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerVR#Series6XT_(Rogue%29) (iphone6ish, 2014-era), as well as much more recent A and B series. It could be interesting to support as far back as series 4, though I am not sure if it's worth the work (documentation would be appreciated in any case).

(@liam: I had to manually encode the link's closing parenthesis as %29. An issue with the markdown parser?)

Edit2: well, maybe earlier GPUs can't really efficiently support vulkan anyway :dizzy:
