Linux share on Steam hits highest peak in years thanks to Steam Deck
3 July 2022 at 6:50 am UTC

Quoting: fireplaceI’m glad the Steam Flatpak is getting more traction. Native games on Linux sometimes required libraries outside of the Steam runtime, and developers don’t notice this and just say that it only supports ubuntu or fedora or some crap like that. Now with the Flatpak, it’ll be clear as day if the native game works or not.
I'm not happy to see a patch getting more traction.
I would be happy if the patch wouldn't be needed because the cure gained the traction, instead.

I wonder what were they thinking.
The principal audience of this game are the players that enjoyed the first gilbert chapters.
But this is gonna be a constant punch in their faces.
Is is not just the art style per se, but the lacking of the attention to details, the characters depersonalization.
Pixel art doesn't mean low resolution only.
It means that every single pixel is important, because there are not so many, so the artist is forced to pay attention to every single point of his work; making a single mistake for a single pixel has a big impact, not to mention animations!
What we have here? A bunch of flat textured polygons rotating and morphing.
The characters have been completely stripped from their personality, from ANY personality.
Why not take a vocaloid and do the voices too?
I will play it, but that punch in my face will constantly hurt.

Wow, 2 minutes and 2% battery just to load it, from ssd, right?

8W/h instead od 220W/h to play is definitely nice.

With that big SEGA logo at 0:29, the Deck seems really like a big Game Gear!
Also, why do people often wear (white) gloves on yt videos with hands closeups?

Quoting: McCartheeHangs perpetually while loading for me. Doesn't even crash, just hangs forever.
Same here.
-EDIT-
Actually, tt seems to completely crash, leaving the window opened.
There's a report of a linux user on steam too.
Tried via proton too, same issue, weird.

Serious Sam 4 gets Steam Deck support with a small but 'notable' update

Assuming the meters are right:
Cpu and gpu seems lower than 100, weird, where's the bottleneck then?
It would be interesting to know if under windows it performs the same.
Differently it sould be a proton thing.

Edit:
seems a common thing for gpu.

Probably it is also taxing one cpu thread too heavy.

Nice, but 4GB of vram as a minimum requirement seems too high to me for this type of game.
Just noticed due to my gtx1060 with just 3GB, ofc.

Looks like iFixit have Steam Deck parts available now (Update: it's gone)

Quoting: kokoko3k512GB "Screen"?
I have very little interest in the Deck beyond the effect it has on Linux-native gaming in the long run, but I'm pretty sure the 512GB model has a nicer screen than the cheaper ones. Anti-glare or something. So you should read that as "Screen for the 512GB model".

Ooh, right, understood.
Too cryptic for me.
