I thought I’d never have to care about X11 or Wayland if I was a typical user. I thought it was just a debate for really passionate Linux user.

I turned out to be false since the reason I had bad playback on my HTPC, was the fact that Wayland was preventing the refresh rate of my TV to be adjusted to the content.

Switching to a distro using X11 solved the issue and apparently Wayland doesn’t plan on changing anything about this issue.

Might be a stupid question but what does it mean when you say that Proton DB is proprietary?

I know people have some reasons to dislike EA, but they’ve created some really great games and some of my favorites:

Mass Effect trilogy Titanfall 2 Dead Space trilogy Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor Battlefield 1

As much as I wouldn’t want them becoming worse, they can still get some of my money from time to time

Agreed, but it’s still very good and worth your time!

I loved this game and enjoyed its sequel! It’s the best Star Wars game I’ve played I guess.

Gosh that’s huge and is a big risk!

I loved the first Gears of War and am looking forward to repoaying it on my Steam Deck once my backlog is cleared, but I feel like the franchise is loosing traction.

As long as I’m not the one paying the 400 millions, I don’t really care, but such an amount for such a game sounds unhealthy.

I think you should really try another distribution.

I had had long unsolvable problems with my daily driver and my HTPC.

I had a problem while updating from Fedora Workstation 43 to 44, so I went with Fedora Siverblue. That solved a problem I had had for years where my Surface Go would be slow for no reason when hooked to a big screen.

I had a problem on PopOS where my HTPC wasn’t able to adjust the framerate of my TV. Switching to LibreELEC solved every issue.

All of this just to say, that sometimes you can solve an issue by switching distribution even if it wasn’t your main goal.

You won’t regret playing it! It’s a great game!

Look forward to this one even if I miss the turn based system of the original.

I love these games.

Looking forward to play this one, but first it’ll be Directive 8020 and maybe the Walikind dead once again (by telltale).

Metro Last Light Redux. Better than the first one and looks good.

It makes me want to read the books.

Loved the game and might even buy it again one day just to replay it on Steam Deck, but only if it comes on GOG

I wish she was less pretty as Nico Bellic or the other characters weren’t.

Why can’t she just be a normal looking lady, not ugly, but normal.

I don’t want to be attracted to her…

The only good side is that people are gonna replace their machines less often and that developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware.

The gamers who are really in trouble are the ones without a PC, a console or whatever yet. Or the ones with hardware on the verge of failing…

I think it can have benefits for the gaming industry in a way.

In such difficult times, people are still getting rid of perfectly working PC because these don’t have the requirements for Windows 11.

My company gets us a new iPhone every 3 years when we could keep them for way longer.

All of this can be good for Linux and optimisation, even if the situation is clearly not ideal.

I play some games docked like strategy games (on the computer screen) or family games (on the family TV) and it works fine.

Where it would be problematic is if I also played these games in handheld mode as I would have to change quite a few settings.

It would be nice if the Deck could switch between docked mode (using more power with better FPS/resolution) and handheld mode automatically.

In a way you can do this by switching between the game profile/general profile, but it’s just a workaround.

Agreed.

I enjoy PopOS, but you can see that quite a few things have to be solved for it to be perfectly daily driveable.

For now I only use it on my HTPC as it just has to start Kodi and let it do its thing.

Gosh, thanks it worked! I already had the application, but the Fedora version (also a Flatpak) instead of the Flathub one.

It even worked in PopOS. Just installing this image viewer instead of the system one, allowed me to open HEIC pictures in the file explorer and in Kodi.

Now the only thing I can’t do is change the default image viewer. Even uninstalling the system one doesn’t allow me to do it, but I guess it’s because Cosmic is clearly “work in progress”. Huge thanks!

Yes I know but it would be nice to be able to know directly from Steam if a game is DRM Free or not.

Please keep publishing these posts as I ain’t checking the site enough and wouldn’t want to miss some of your interviews.

And people please support their Patreon!

Steam is great and I love what they’re bringing.

Still I’m trying to buy 50% of my games on GOG because no monopoly is good and Steam still has DRM’s and no real transparency about it.
