Ah, nice. I was really waiting for a fix for Until you Fall :)

Quoting: slaapliedjeWhat ties it to the Pi? (asking as I don't know) as it's just an armhf .deb package. I don't know why you couldn't set it up on any debian based distro on something that supports armhf packages.

People tried it before, but it doesn't work. It actually seems to check for some OS specific things and if you spoof these it fails with a very specific issue related to the highly uncommon GPU utilized in the RasberryPI type SBCs.

There is probably some sort of technical reason (likely a short-cut), but with Collaboras support this could definitely be solved I think.

Quoting: wvstolzingDoes the Raspberry Pi 4 run arm64 binaries? Maybe they'll release an update for the Rpi version (I mean this: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6153-IFGH-6589 ) eventually.

The RPI4 hardware yes, but I think the app only works with Rasbian which last time I checked was still 32bit only. Also for some strange reason the Steamlink app for the RasberryPi depends of some specific code from the RasberryPI GPU driver and refuses to work on any non-Rasberry hardware because of that.

Finally!

Edit: arg, seems like x86_64 only. Why Valve? Why? We were able to run a normal Steam Linux client on x86 before :( What is really missing is an Arm64 build of the steam-link :(

The RasberryPI version uses some specific features of the uncommon RPI GPU hence apparently it is difficult to port, but if they actually made a Tizen version (which is fairly similar to regular Linux), then there should be really no reason why there could not be a general version for ARM SBCs running Armbian or such :(

Come on Valve, just open-source the damn thing!

Somewhat OT: http://www.wings3d.com/ is still a cool open source modeling app that is a bit easier to get into than Blender3d (Although Blender got a loooot better in recent years, it is just a super powerful and complex software).

Also interesting: https://dust3d.org/ although I did not try it extensively yet.

Quoting: Hori

QuoteSteam Link is supported by Valve across Windows, iOS, Android, or a Raspberry Pi

It is also supported on Samsung Tizen TV and Android TV, maybe others also, idk.

Oh Tizen as well? Didn't know that. That makes it even more annoying that there is no regular Linux version, as AFAIK the Tizen version should not be so different from one.

Nice, that seems like the upgraded Tetris Attack I was waiting 20+ years for now ;)

Edit: arg, mandatory 3rd party account system kind of sucks though :(

As for the fantasy console: why not build something on the awesome Love2D lua framework? Some custom BASIC based thing seems really uninteresting to me at least.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThey may not have had a huge budget before, but they've sure as hell got one now.

Yeah, sounds a bit like the next Mojang in the making. However we all know how that ended :-/
