So, how's this going to work? Is it using something like Waydroid under the hood?

What battery is there to kill in the Steam Machine?

I've been using Fedora KDE since 2016 and it has been my main system since then. The experience is stable and everything just works.

As somebody who works on Fedora, I'm glad you like it :-)

I'm myself using Fedora Kinoite as my daily driver, got really in love with atomic editions :-)

Neat. I recently decided to move my oldest laptop from Ubuntu Server, which I eventually installed KDE on to do some things, straight into NixOS. I thought, "hey, if I only needed my KDE environment sometimes, I can just switch config." A weird thing happened in that my system is way faster now for some reason.

I don't know what was going on with my Ubuntu setup, but even when it was just a TTY, the stutter can be pretty bad. There's likely some other issues with the hardware - RAM stick, SATA SSD, the fan, or the chip's thermal paste (possibility combination of all of them AND aging factor). But KDE wasn't the issue, it's hella lightweight actually.

Regardless, it's good to have a laptop with a decent KDE session. I'm going to be moving my ROG Ally from Bazzite to hopefully (in order of preference) NixOS, SteamOS, or CachyOS as well - depending on if I couldn't figure out the previous ones - all using KDE of course.

KDE Plasma my beloved

At least, the trilogy is linked. Installation of the GOG version is somewhat cumbersome, and also the Steam version borked out with my AppImage on Linux.

Surprising news. I assumed DRG was (understandably) put in maintenance mode while GSG is busy developing its quasi sequel.

@LoudTechie
i am not near the point i want to be before publishing it. and i am not sure at all if i should.it is heavily done with the help of ai (did it before without ai but since chatgpt and gemini are a thing i started off from scratch) and therefore the code might be annoying at best

What ton of Features so we get from Play it that we can't get from heroic and RetroArch?
Usually people tell me that they find too many settings confusinf and want a turn key solution

@Sil_el_mot or publish it and hope it helps others.
There seems to be quite some demand.
Doesn't need to be open source or free software, you could publish it under whatever license and/or conditions you would like.
There appears to be demand, maybe you could serve that demand.

I see a large overlap between that and Lutris.
Not sure if there is enough difference to be worth the effort instead of joining up with the existing projects.

Lutris is pretty much a dead project. Besides Playnite offers TONS of features over anything like Lutris and the guy adding Proton/WINE support is the cherry on top. I welcome Playnite to Linux

Is it exclusive to the OLED model? Because it did drop on my OLEDeck yesterday, but my PC running SteamOS still says it's up to date.

I had an update yesterday on SD LED.

I played many hours of the original Guild Wars. In fact, it was the first MMO that I ever played. Guild Wars 2 was fun for what it was, but it just didn't have the same feel.

Yes, I definitely agree there.

While I also enjoyed GW2 for a while, it is definitely "just" a normal MMO with a few nice touches.
The gameplay in GW1 is entirely different, I'm not even sure I'd call it an MMO to be honest.

They should invent a new category: biggest deception. Plants vs Zombies Replanted would have won (the original had GOTY).

I like Geoff Keighley, but I don't care about The Game Awards. It's cool that it's a thing and all, but meh.

Neat, I used to use this under Windows and it was a fun app that had lots of useful plugins that let you basically hook up everything into it.

People should go have a look at all the plugins, you'll be surprised as to what it could do, basically had everything you could imagine in one when it came to gaming.

Under strategy, no Anno 117 but instead Civ 7 is nominated? GTFO with these "awards".

Probably released too late to be included for this year.

Linux support wasn't planned at all under Riot, so any attempt being made is good news to me. Really hoping the future for Hytale is better than its development has been thus far, it'd be incredible to see.

Another Valve funded thing with the number 3

'Video game library manager', huh? Well, we already have Lutris, Heroic, and Steam, but I suppose another one wouldn't hurt. I mean, there's something like half a million desktop environments, so ecosystem fragmentation isn't anything new.

Never heard of Playnite, but looks like it's another game library app. Hopefully this one uses QT, AFAIK the others all use GTK>=3 which sucks.

I use playnite to have some control of what I have. It's an excelent backlog tool. I'm getting very emotional by this update! For now I run it inside a win VM. Ah, I also use it to randonly pick my next game.

A feature to be proud of, although I always wondered how they were able to fund the servers.

They still use your typical micro-transaction shop, including lootboxes. The difference between them and a F2P game really is that they don't have to go full-predatory, since they also generate some money from DLC sales, where F2P games don't. And as far as I know there is nothing in these lootboxes you can't also buy directly, or earn.
