Personally I'm a big fan and hope it is an indicator that at least Larian are focused on us. I really enjoy D:OS2/BG3 and would like to see more titles in the style, personally.

Hopefully this won't cause problems for 32-bit games or 16-bit programs via Wine eventually, I'm assuming the prior version of Steam Linux Runtime will continue to be available for compatibility?

Total War: WARHAMMER III review ratings on Steam are ... not great.

I hope this fixes the problem I've had woth notifications and overlay menus dropping frames cause mine has been doing thatva ton.
I use a trackpad menu for emulators and I get all the hitching when my paml brushes the trackpad or anytime I wanna control rewinds and fast forwards.
Certainly an annoying issue though minor.

Huh, I thought these had been released into open source a long time ago.

No wake on BT flipping? I'm surprised.

I dunno, it's not very much . . . only A Handful of Missions. Be nice if there were A Few Missions More.

they do not forget easily.

OK, but maybe they forgive?
. . . No?

I'm actually not a huge Hellraiser fan, so it's possible my internal model of the franchise isn't up to snuff, but it feels weird to be running around with a shotgun blowing things away like it's just another boomer shooter. Hopefully the atmosphere/tone isn't lost in fast-paced action combat. To my untutored gaze it feels like kind of a mismatch.

I doubt they could entirely change the runtime base like that, with so much depending on it, without breaking a lot.

Even though SteamOS has migrated over to Arch Linux, the runtime is still using Debian as its basis?

there are no credible awards, except steam awards. i may not agree with results of steam awards, but at least it is backed by mass voting, unlike tga where literally who few decide on what game wins or even gets nominated

I wonder if this means I can drop 32bit compatibility completely in my Gentoo now.
Only Steam is holding me back.

Looks somewhat cheesier than I was hoping, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Doesn't seem to be one listed.

What's the codename for the 4.0 runtime? Medic? Engineer?

Still not as horrendous as the "indie" category. Looking at the nominees, we have
* A game published by DotEmu, as subsidiary of Focus Entertainment, who according to their Wikipedia page has an annual revenue of 140 million euros.
* A game published by Devolver Digital, a publicly traded corporation owned partly by Sony and Netease
* A game published by Raw Fury, a subsidiary of a giant private equity firm.
* Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which seems to actually be owned by a medium-sized company.
* Hades II, also seemingly owned by a medium-sized company
* Hollow Knight: Silksong, an indie game
So at most half of the nominees for "best indie game" are actually indie games.

So, it's like a whole game set in Site 32 (2300 AD) from Chrono Trigger? Interesting. I hope there will be a reference or two. Maybe a punk character named Johnny.

I think inadvertently nuking your Linux install is the most common cause of distro hopping.

No, it's not a demo, the highlights of what are included are in the article. It's a full special campaign that brings together multiple games.

If you end up wanting the full thing, there will be a Total War: WARHAMMER III Upgrade Pack available on Steam.

What do you mean by this? Is it just a demo being automatically dumped into people's Steam libraries?

Quoting: sarmadWill those Android games also work on amd64 CPUs, or just on the Frame?

Probably.
[Amd64 to Arm emulators exist and work pretty well.](https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-arm.html) and Waydroid is open source.

Quoting: dziadulewiczFortnite is available for Android. Does this mean Fortnite can soon be easily gamed on desktop Linux through Steam and those compat layers?

Not easily.
Fortnite tries to detect non-standard Android configs, which would easily penetrate something as flimsy as waydroid.
A distinction is though that there is already complete community build around circumventing these detection methods meaning that instead having to modify source code you can probably just downloads a few scetchy scripts to cricumvent it.

Quoting: tuubiFor the ones commenting on the lack of HDMI 2.1, AMD isn't allowed to implement the standard in their open source kernel driver.

That said, my 7800XT does 4K@120Hz just fine, connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. VRR (FreeSync Premium) works as well, and is active according to the TV. Don't know about HDR as this machine is still on X11.

If you don't use an adapter it's using YUV420. You would especially see this on fonts.

I'm very much a noob when it comes to Blender but I donate every month because it's an example of how open source should work.

I'm glad you ended up using a good distro!, although I am not a fan of Fedora, mostly because of the pkg manager, I respect it a lot and coming from the Red Hat guys, I know it has certain... very refined elements.
But for me the most important thing is that you didn't end up using Ubuntu, that is, modern Ubuntu. Even until Ubuntu 22 I would say things were fine (I use it as my main model for most of my docker servers), but go a LTS version more after that one, and you are beginning to see the crumble ground. It's a shame.

The only feature I'm missing so far is the possibility to sync mods across different devices. (I haven't find a way, I guess it's premium blocked).

Besides that, it's a useful app indeed. My Stardew Village is gonna collapse soon.

Brad Lynch has confirmed in [one of the replies](https://x.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1991428339723321604) that they're using Waydroid to run these Android apps.
