Steam Deck - SteamOS 3.5.13 Preview improves WiFi, brings LED brightness controls
8 January 2024 at 8:48 am UTC

Quoting: tpauIt would be cool if third party platforms could hook deep in steam OS and show their shop and game library directly instead of only adding shortcuts.
Having them es external apps feels a bit clunky, be it ea, ubi, bnet, Lutris, emudeck or heroic.
I too wish they added proper desktop (e.g. multi-window) application support in gaming mode.

However adding explicit support for other shops would be undermining their own shop, and would be a maintenance and support nightmare. Just think how often things like the EA app breaks on Steam games, because EA does not give a crap. Also could invite all sorts of legal issues.

So wait wait wait... Is this a sequel to a game that is not released yet?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI guess if they switched it to "x.com" that would cause the apocalypse (or at least the Enemy Unknown).

They do own x.com sadly.
I was actually just making a bad XCOM joke.
Imagine when they come across x.org.

Resident Evil Village and plenty more available in this new bundle

As someone who likes horror games, but have never played any of the Resident Evil games, I am tempted.

Where would one even start though? Just play them in chronological order, or it doesn't matter? Any advice?

Quoting: HJThat isn't Prey though, it's Prey (2017)
How about a nice game of Doom or Tomb Raider instead?

Solid selection of indies, but NBA and WWE games seem to be mediocre at best.

Ubisoft hiring Linux developer talent for XDefiant

I thought this would be just for the Linux servers, which a lot of companies use internally. But the wording might suggest that it is also for the game itself. In that case it is very interesting.

What could be the reason behind it though? Getting on board with the Steam Deck / Steam Console? Some other Linux platform they have on mind?

The Last of Us on Steam Deck is not great

That's not great. Was really hoping to play this classic. But I guess I'll wait and see if they fix the issues. I mean, it's been 10 years already, whats a year or two more?

Xwayland Video Bridge created to improve Linux screen sharing
24 March 2023 at 4:21 pm UTC

Quoting: MayeulC
Quoting: LinasSomething like that should really be built into Wayland.
I'm not sure if you mean screensharing or that video bridge? [...]

Should it be in XWayland? Maybe, but this modular solution is good as well.
What I mean is that there should be a way for legacy apps to continue functioning, including screen sharing. Otherwise we end up with a chicken and egg problem where people cannot switch to Wayland if their apps don't work, and apps won't support Wayland if nobody uses it.
