All they have to do is launch the next Pokémon on Steam and it’s all theirs again. :')

It makes a lot of sense that it sadly is that way. Most of the linux gaming work does go into the compatibility layers and then the drivers and software stack is overwhelmingly tested on those compatibility layers due to the lack of demanding native games.

Another issue is that a lot of linux ports are from the original Steam Machine wave that haven’t been updated since. On Steam Deck it’ll automatically use the Proton version in these cases but I don’t think it applies to desktop.

Small tip: press the (i) on the right, next to game settings, and it’ll show what runtime is being used for this game at the bottom.

Noise cancelling headphones, not just for avoiding other people’s noise in general but also to make noisier tasks easier. Vacuum, blender, cooking in general with all the loud pots and pans, fans, drill, epilator, electric toothbrush. I either avoided them or tried to get them over with as quickly as possible and did a haphazard job, they’ve helped me in about every aspect of my life.

Try contacting support, apparently they let some people still order their missed reservation.

use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].

4K 120Hz is a really common TV input and even this is not possible in HDMI 2.0 without 4:2:0 chroma subsampling which is visually lossy especially in desktop usage.

They already mentioned DSC is lined up to go out but still needs compliance testing, so the code is probably ready. The “could” wording is by Phoronix not the AMD developer.

This work was already finished 3 years ago but couldn’t be sent out due to the HDMI Forum blocking it.

Somebody tell that to TV manufacturers ;(

No patch on 6.12 LTS and by extension Debian.

With the trackpads it kinda changes things, I have the og Steam Controller and it polls at 125Hz which is noticeably sluggish on a 240Hz screen. The same might apply here for people using even higher refresh rates (360Hz and 240/480Hz dual mode are getting pretty common), though not nearly to the same extent. Just something to keep in mind.

I went with microswitch buttons for my current controller (cyclone pro) and I honestly regretted it, they feel harder to press and especially hard to spam fast compared to membrane.

This is an atrociously researched and misinformed article.

The cracked Requiem predictably runs faster, smoother, and uses far fewer resources than the HV version, and presumably by extension, than the full paid-for release.

The author is assuming the comparison to the Hypervisor crack applies to the legitimate version with no basis whatsoever. Voices38 themselves only claimed it runs better than the HV version, giving as reasons that the HV driver is hardcoded for a specific configuration that may not match the actual host (cpu cores, cpu instructions, ram) and can degrade performance. [1]

We can and should hate denuvo but since this crack is just a different kind of bypass (a userspace one) we can’t know how the game would run without it and anything else is pure speculation.
