Scaling is hard to get right when everyone uses a completely different window backend. In saying that they should get it right for each of the major desktop engines like XFCE/GNOME/PLASMA/CINAMON etc... It's important to keep in mind that Linux desktop is going through a revolution phase atm so things are changing so old was stop working.

The SD here in Australia can be had for a large mark up with no warranty because their all imports.

Other companies are directly selling their handhelds in AU/NZ to customers, I don't really know whats going on with Valve since everyone around us can buy them.

notice that drag/click zones are not functioning correct, seems that should be fixed some time for sanity reasons.

I'm sure with some mods it could look a tad better. But often these old games are quite janky.

Quoting: SaravananHope this fixes the bug in Wayland which many are reporting on displays having more than 60Hz refresh rate.

It does not. The issue doesn't affect everyone but does affect my 4090 (and others have said they had the issue). Could be dependent on multi monitor setups where refresh rate of main display is above 75hz. In my testing.

The bug is so bad for me it locks up Linux entirely. No recovery.

HMMMM, I wonder if this fixed high refresh rate bug for my 4090 (it is 100% driver bug) when logging into Wayland with >75hz is set on primary. (IT DIDN'T)
