Even more helpful is that Lutris games can be launched from Steam

Not having to jump between multiple launchers will be extra helpful on the Steam Deck!

This isn't actually about SteamVR. xrdesktop is its own thing but you can use it to layer windows from your desktop on top of a SteamVR game, as an example. So for a livestreamer, they could use it to show Twitch chat and use the new keyboard implementation to interact with that layered window without touching a normal keyboard.

I know. But the SteamVR keyboard is so unreliable that it's likely it has a far better user experience.

Intel ARC vs. Intel ARK. There will be no confusion at all!

Almost as good as their coming cpu naming scheme: 10nm -> Intel 7 -> Intel 4 -> Intel 3 -> Intel 20A (lower is better until higher is better again).

Not as bad as Nvidia with "Shield". I think they had 3 products named that and changed the name of the product to something else when they needed the name for a new Product.
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Portable"
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Tablet K1"
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Android TV"

Or the "Titan X" GPU. Where they had a second "Titan X" on a new architecture (pascal). So the community called it "Titan Xp" to differentiate, just for Nvidia to launch a new "Titan XP".

Performance improvements are great. Animal Crossing on the Steam Deck will be awesome!

I was very positively surprised by the LTT video. He didn't mention "installing Windows" or the current anticheat situation.
I think it's great that we are at a point where people can be hyped about a Desktop Linux device without a constant "but it would be better with windows".

So now that your Index runs cool: When is the next VR stream?

Quoting: jrtWhat do I need ProtonUP for? There is an AUR package that updates proton-ge with normal system updates and you could probably do the same with a deb/rpm repository. I don't like a separate tool to update individual components. I'm a strong believer in the benefits of package managers.

That's nice for you, but not everyone is on an arch-based system.

There is still the possibility to add a repository with normal packages. I dislike the idea of programs that ship their own updater or community made updaters. Package managers are made for this purpose and they do mostly a good job.
