I was using Flathub’s Steam years ago already to avoid installing any 32bit system packages. Works fine. This change is no problem at all.

Jesus freaks will always complain about playing god when any type of genetic modification is used.

Pavel Durov had to flee Russia after resisting Putin’s influence on VK. That’s public information known to everyone who cares to spend a minute reading his Wikipedia article.

Abyss Engine clean-room reimplementation of Diablo 2, written in C. The goal is to recreate the original game engine, but on a portable platform that can also easily be modded and extended.

Maybe but those 1% of buyers are multiplicators incentivizing others to buy the same phone.

Full AOSP compatibility for Pixel devices is a huge reason to buy a Pixel instead of a 3rd party OEM. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

RADV was an external effort.

Not only external but a fork of Intel’s Vulkan driver. That’s why Intel’s copyright is mentioned in many file headers.

Maybe these help but they are just ideas and not tested:

Switch to Wayland and check performance there. If that doesn’t work, look up how to do nested compositors. You can run one Wayland compositor inside another. Maybe launching the game within KWin or GameScope leads to better results.

But they’re making it look like it’s a hassle to release for Linux when in reality you can foresee and plan for this from the start, without much overhead down the line.

They have the overhead to support macOS, though:

Your dogwater arguments boil down to “it should support this specific configuration and fuck everyone else”.

No, because Steam ships Steam Linux Runtime in all configurations. Everybody with some insight in that topic knows that.

How is that different from a game being restricted to Windows?

Windows is an entirely different operating system, duh. Game updates break Proton all the time, take longer to load, on installation they execute super slow installation scripts, etc. If your so knowledgeable as you claim with your condescending tone, you’d know that.

And how exactly does that solve the issue of still dedicating significant effort to support an even smaller set of devices?

Steam Deck is the market leader in PC handhelds and 3rd parties like Lenovo adopt SteamOS.

Actually, don’t answer that.

I opt to ignore that order you’re in no position to give.

Your comment is proof of your remarkable ignorance on the topic

You confirm that you have absolutely no clue about Steam Linux Runtime and how that is a more stable than an ever changing cat and mouse game of Windows updates, Proton updates, and game updates.

and anything else you have to say is a waste of everyone’s time.

Nobody forced you to reply to me. Next time, I suggest you read up on Steam Linux Runtime and Windows games braking Proton with updates.

You have no idea how much extra work it is to maintain a Linux-native version that works predictably across the entire range of Linux machine configurations.

Because in this day and age targeting a billion different configurations is stupid. Steam Linux Runtime exists to remedy exactly that.

Proton is already known to be perfectly capable of running most games as good as or even better than Windows.

And then an update comes along and breaks compatibility. News stories about this are frequent.

instead of having to implement client-side decorations for GNOME users.

• Games usually run full screen.

• SteamOS doesn’t use Gnome.

• Native Linux games targeting only Steam Deck’s setup are still a better experience than Windows games under Proton aren’t integrated with Gnome either because Valve doesn’t care about Gnome.

Because its competitors care about Not Invented Here instead of building common industry standards.

Stark downfall after Ubuntu 8.10 ‘Intrepid Ibex’

Tim Apple the cook

Stupid fucking comment.

I was merely stating in simple words what Apple’s product is and that their customers respond to exactly that. You choice of words shows that a loud fraction of their user base is a cult, though.

People buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what’s allowed. The walled garden is core to Apple’s product philosophy. It’s not like everybody was expecting Apple to be super open and inclusive with anything and then be taken by surprise from the Fortnite situation. Even before they deprecated open standards because their own tech is supposedly evolving faster and are better integrated.

People wanting to play Fortnite on phones can just get a reasonably specced Android phone and install EGS next to Play Store with just a few taps.

At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

I’m so hyped about machine-generated output from copyrighted data being fine. “No, your honor. I did not pirate a copyrighted film. I distributed a machine-generated re-encoding of a film that is a close approximation but not not the original copyrighted film. As you can see, you honor, the copyright information was stripped, therefore it’s fine.”
