So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that’s a big IF. Seeing as this is a low volume product compared to giants like Apple or Dell for example, I would expect the possibility of even greater numbers. I am assuming Valve is underestimating the initial demand and does not plan to market the product outside of their current countries and is not planning to advertise the product heavily.

Fedora is a middle ground between the two.

Steam is the largest game store ever. Why would they want to skip it?

If Luanti were to receive the attention needed to upgrade to make use of modern pipelines and the GPU, I’m sure the Deck would benefit and perform better.

As Luanti isn’t available on Steam yet…

There you go. Just publish it, and add a donation DLC that gives the user a badge, a mention in the credits or something like that.

Wait, what?

How can he be such a dick? I’ll take the link down.

Yeah, I’m not worried about the actual work. I’m worried about company culture. Example: If the new owner of the 51% decides to go public, we are all royally fucked.

no paywall here:

Edit: looking for a mirror.

Well, I don’t care. I freaking love Steam, I was able to switch to Linux 2 years ago thanks to them!. If someone can’t take a joke, let them be. I’m the biggest GabeN fan there is. But I fear for his death. It fills me with uncertainty. Hopefully things don’t change and also GOG learns of Valve’s way. Imagine GOG officially supporting OpenGamePad UI and contributing to Proton. Dreaming is free!

xwayland on desktop, they are migrating to Wayland, they use kwin but you can use gamescope of you want. In gamemode it’s fully Wayland, uses gamescope.

Same with 32 bit, they are working towards a 64 bit executable.

Now that Valve is balls deep into Linux, we’ll all see major gains.

I’m sorry, we’re out of stock! But you can get the Steam Frame Combo Orange Pack which includes both the Steam Machine AND a Steam Controller.

Oopsie, we’re out of stock of that too!

We’re sad you were unable to complete the purchase, please understand that we are a small family business and we are still learning.

Thank you for your interest in Newell’s Family Farm

Full installation. For the OS it’s just a drive.

I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files.

Great experience.

Sloppening

Yes. Officially announced. Multiple times. IIRC the last time was at GDC, in their presentation deck.

Does this affect immutable distros like Bazzite?

What about streaming apps: Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. would that be a way to stream 4k video on Linux? IIRC, Firefox or Chromium based browsers on Linux don’t allow that.

If so, that would be a great way for those wanting to stream using their Steam Machine, Frame and custom Linux based HTPCs.

Holy moly, $100k a year each. I hope this more than covers LVFS’ costs and give them enough headroom to keep improving it.

For these companies it must be pocket change, but that can be a lot of money if the LVFS is efficient enough.

There was a leak like a year ago, it was a figma file done by a single KDE community designer and not an officially sanctioned design. But it was gorgeous. I can’t find any screenshots and it seems nobody was able to duplicate the figma file in time before it went private.

But I saw it with my own eyes, it was amazing. Like breeze but for normies: more padding, clearer UI overall, nested content to avoid info overload. I loved it. But anyone who likes dense UIs would have disliked it.

I wish they would release that theme that leaked a while ago.

Good thing about Linux is that anyone can contribute to make what you describe actually happen.
