Quoting: edoThey should focus on providing proton support before even thinking about adding features not strictly needed by the epic games



just add the proton GE folder as default wineprefix and you can choose between all of your downloaded GE versions
i just tried 2 games and they work OOTB

Looks like we may see Steam properly on Chrome OS by the end of 2021

meehhh they kicked the AMD sensor thingy (k10temp) out of kernel 5.10 because a lack of documentation. now some values are useless and i have to stick with kernel 5.9
Well that's not quite the whole truth. The module exists and still reports temperatures, but the reason it doesn't report voltage and current any more is not just about the documentation. Here's the relevant commit message:

QuoteVoltages and current are reported by Zen CPUs. However, the means
to do so is undocumented, changes from CPU to CPU, and the raw data
is not calibrated. Calibration information is available, but again
not documented. This results in less than perfect user experience,
up to concerns that loading the driver might possibly damage
the hardware (by reporting out-of range voltages). Effectively
support for reporting voltages and current is not maintainable.
Drop it.

If there's code in the kernel that might risk damaging your hardware (or simply provides unreliable data), I'd say removing it is a good decision.

i dont think linus wanted to kick it out so my point still stands. its AMDs fault

Epic Games has acquired RAD Game Tools so they now own Bink video and more

it would be sooo awesome if we could download native linux versions from epic through this launcher

i just went over all the free games i collected, looking for native linux games and IT....IS.... A.... LOT!!!!!!!!!!
A launcher can do nothing about the fact that none of those Linux versions are available in Epic's store. There's nothing to download. But maybe that's what you meant.

Quoting: leo523No store for Linux and EAC not working for Linux they have nothing to attract me. I will use Steam only.

they have free games. you could play rocket league for free

lets see how it goes. maybe epic is nice and makes some kind of linux API, so developers can upload their linux version of games and we can download and play them.

just over christmas there were some games with native linux port. stranded deep, cities skylinie, oddworld, alien isolation

Valve updates Steam with more Linux improvements, new game properties UI

did they make the launch options more user friendly?
like right click -> launch options instead of right click -> properties -> launch options
also it would be great if we could save some launch options and we just have checkboxes for each command, instead of writing them down

Valve puts up Proton 5.13-4 to get Cyberpunk 2077 working on Linux for AMD GPUs

Quoting: mylkagood to know, even if i cant buy 2077 now

i hope it works kinda decent on my old GPU

from what i saw of the benchmarks you need a pretty beefy gpu even in 1080p.most people are gonna be running in medium to high settings in 1080p.

thx. so i need money for a new GPU and the game
