  Got excited thinking they had finally fixed the rendering bug that causes the UI to slow to a crawl on desktop GPUs on Linux, but no.

    If it’s the bug I’m thinking of, you can get around it by disabling hardware acceleration for web views in the desktop client.

    Still annoying though.

    They did fix that a while ago though?

    Are you referring to the issue where Gamescope causes massive lag on nvidia GPUs?

      May be a group of bugs, I’m still struggling with it on my 6700 XT.

  With Valve moving SteamOS and the Steam Deck’s Game Mode UI to support other handhelds like the Legion Go S, and maybe even Desktop at some point, it makes sense why they would be changing this. (emphasis mine)

  Isn’t this what Big Picture Mode already is?

    i’m presuming it’ll be big picture mode but less shiiiiiiit

    like yeah big picture mode works well enough but it’s definitely rough around the edges, for instance it doesn’t much like it when you switch to and from steam in big picture mode.

      Pretty sure it’ll be the same as with Steam Deck: The Big Picture UI running inside Gamescope.

      It’s already possible to do that on other Linux distributions manually.
