Here's how Starfield runs on Steam Deck and desktop Linux
5 September 2023 at 9:12 pm UTC

QuoteYou're running mesa from git to get VK_NV_device_generated_commands_compute for optimal performance.

I suppose it's going to make its way to mesa 23.2 that is around the corner.


Performance is disappointing so far, in the 90s with the low preset but it looks straight out of 2004. medium preset cannot hold 60 fps.
Ryzen™ 9 3900X + RX 5700 XT, Linux 6.4.12-zen1-1-zen + mesa 23.1.6

don't try to play XCOM 2 with the native version, it's unstable and most mods make it crash.

They've done it.

Valve has made every publisher consider the Linux audience. This is only going to get better now.

Xwayland Video Bridge created to improve Linux screen sharing

QuoteThe problem is that currently in the likes of Discord, MS Teams, Slack, Zoom and others that you run through Xwayland, you may end up with a black screen and no windows listed — this should solve it.
I don't understand which case this will help that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr doesn't handle.
If you read the details you'll see their app is a convenient GUI for a non-expert user to be able to leverage what already exists (xdg-portals, pipewire, etc) through a system tray minimalist app

how do you leverage xdg-desktop-portal-wlr at the moment?

The way I understand it, it's a sort of proxy for screen sharing. It exposes whatever you want on any graphic server, which can then be acquired by most apps.

I guess I'll have to try to understand better, but teams pwa in wayland+gnome is already great (https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/issues/107 aside), I suppose it's only relevant for older configurations.

The upcoming Team Fortress 2 update may not be as big as expected

As predicted, it's a simple community update. It's no surprise, it's not like anyone has been working on the game for the past 10 years. Of course, still no mention of anti botting and anti cheating update.

No mention of anti cheat and bot. Update padding with community content.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Quoting: fagnerlnErrrr... Is that secure? The game already has cheating issues, what can go wrong when someone execute an OS on it?

And rampant bot issue.
