Maybe but those 1% of buyers are multiplicators incentivizing others to buy the same phone.

GamingOnLinux is a shitty spam blog and not a reliable source. We saw Proton-ARM and Waydroid in SteamDB and those could just be internal research that might never see the light of day. That's it. Everything else is conjecture.

We do know that Valve is working on a new VR headset that will be ARM based though

is enough for most people to assume that an ARM VR headset is coming

An assumption is not knowing a fact.

It would be stupid for Valve to not at least to explore possibilities but to say that we know that Valve is working on an ARM VR headset is not truthful.

Full AOSP compatibility for Pixel devices is a huge reason to buy a Pixel instead of a 3rd party OEM. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

Galaxy is free and not required.

It's a product for paying customers of GOG games. You have rights you don't have with some open source hobby project.

the SD Express 7.1 standard, which exposes a true PCIe Gen3 x1 interface

External GPU, here I come!

So does Galaxy?

Heroic is a community "we hope it's useful but don't complain when it doesn't" product.

With Galaxy you are a paying customer who has rights.

Switch 1 games could also support them. A recent story claimed generic mice would just work. That's false.

It is still just using regular USB-C. I took inspiration from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btwqt-w85Vk and used a similar cable to connect other devices of mine to the Switch 2 dock and they just work. Switch 2 seems to check the hardware ID. I'm sure if there is some kind of way to fake the hardware ID, Switch 2 would just work with other docks as well.

I can later do an "lsusb" command on Linux using the dock2 and read its hardware ID. The one I currenty use just says xxxxxxxx USB Type-C Digital AV Adapter

I’ve got a USB-c dock and it handled Ethernet and power for my 2 totally fine

Are you still using it in handheld mode? It's not really docked when you hold it in your hand. I tried to connect three completely different docks to two different monitors, all worked fine with Switch 1 and my PC, none worked with Switch 2.

and I think it reported the keyboard although I didn’t test it.

There recently was a story that USB mice would work just like joycon in mouse mode. They don't. Games have to explicitly support them, just like before.

I’m sure they did some kind of cost/benefit analysis, but it’s still fucking dumb imo.

The host of what was yesterday the most viewed teardown on YouTube speculated that the string joycon magnets may interfere with hall effect sticks.

Isn’t X effectively dead anyway, and most people moving to Wayland?

Yeah, XWayland will be around for quite some time but X11 / Xorg Server as stand-alone display server is pretty much dead.

we can’t deploy it until a bug is fixed in the Steam client that causes, when we enable SLR 3, all Steam Decks to run the Linux build. Yes, Steam Decks run the Proton version, solely because the save file has different letter casing

Sounds more like the bug is on your side caused by whoever had the genius idea to use different file names for Windows and Linux builds.

there’s no way to fix this without some folks losing their saves, and that is absolutely not an option.

For me the fix looks very easy: Use completely new file names. The old saves are only read and new saves get the new file names. Stay on the current SLR/Proton setup until the saves are migrated to the new naming format for the active user base. Make a dedicated "beta" branch for legacy saves in a year or so to not screw over inactive users. Make announcements and pinned forum posts.

Can't complain about the single player half of the fun at the price of free, though.

The game is so old, it should run fine even in a VM.

Can't you just grab it and then restrict its internet access?

Yeah, Bazzite had dedicated installers for NVdia GPUs. Considering that Neon is being left to die by KDE, it's sensible to switch distributions anyway.

SteamOS doesn't support NVidia

Maybe these help but they are just ideas and not tested:

Switch to Wayland and check performance there. If that doesn’t work, look up how to do nested compositors. You can run one Wayland compositor inside another. Maybe launching the game within KWin or GameScope leads to better results.

Linux has proton, Mac OS doesn’t.

macOS has Apple Game Porting Toolkit which is just another Wine distribution for which developers made easy installers for. GPT + Windows version of Steam is how I played Counter Strike 2 against a Mac user just recently.

That said, I didn't really expect someone with that Lemmy handle to know such things.
