I mostly play with the Steam Controller so I rely on Steam Input which works quite well but only if you’re playing on Steam.

EndeavorOS with KDE is basically steamOS without restrictions. I’ve been running it fine for years.

Wasn’t this an actual product a few years ago?

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 -- only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.

Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.

Yes it is preserved.

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.

I switched to Wayland to get discord streaming with audio working but now Steam remote play has issues capturing some windows unless I open Steam with the -pipewire option. Other than these issues with video streaming it’s been almost the same ir better than x11 on my AMD machine.

I actually had to switch to Wayland to be able to stream with audio on Discord.

So the main takeaway is that you no longer need to be offline if 2 family members want to play at the same time as long as they’re playing different games.

That’s fair and it should alleviate a bunch of headaches.

We need a SeniorProgrammerHumor community. Less jokes about quitting vim and programming languages and more about every day funny issues.

It would’ve been funny if it was full of infill.

Was hoping to see how it looks inside.

I really hope Ron Burgundy from the channel 4 news team covers this.

Well, that killed my weekend project!

On EndeavorOS I haven’t had issues with a Vega64 and now with a 6800XT. I followed the AMD Gpu guides from Arch wiki to get everything up and running but that was back when I started the build with the Vega 64. After the upgrade I didn’t even need to touch anything and all non anti-cheat games work quite well. Maybe I got lucky though.

This is cool and made me think of solutions like https://gamevau.lt/

I’ve been much happier with my Roborock than my Roomba. It definitely seems smarter.

I was able to do for years too on Windows but after switching to Linux I haven’t been able to get the overlay working for non steam games. It could be that I’m on Wayland or something but so far I haven’t been able to figure it out.
