• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Days after cancelling their Linux-compatible mod loader, Nexus Mods announces that they're bringing SteamOS support to Vortex⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like any other FOSS project:

  Devs chose a repo of their choice, the distributor (in this case Nexus) choses a repo (GitHub is either free or very cheap for FOSS projects) to check for compliance, vulnerabilities, etc and then it’s cloud natively packaged for distribution.

  This is how Flathub, Homebrew, and the Universal Project distros are built and distributed.

  I bet Nexus would save a ton of money if they went this way.

  Any GIT repo ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KDE Plasma 6.7 will have a global push-to-talk feature⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is really cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve stress again that there'll be more Steam Machine Verified games than Steam Deck ones, with "fewer constraints" in their testing programme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have a badge for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best Linux distributions for gaming in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, it’s either Bazzite or CachyOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Augmented Steam browser plugin added AI features from VaporLens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope someone with the will & the means makes a fork without AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale will launch with native Linux support, though the Steam Deck is "not officially recommended"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it gets controller support & local coop, it’s insta-buy for my kids. Right now they are playing Portal Knights until I make time to mod Minecraft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam survey for December 2025 shows Linux holding to 3.19%⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For something like FIFA & Call of Duty for example?

  I imagine somewhere between 8% and 20% just for enabling anticheat support. That would be around 20 million monthly active users.

  Some smaller devs are already doing the extra mile and making native ports, like Baldur’s Gate 3 for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was recently gifted a Steam Deck for Christmas! If you only had a budget of, let's say 50 bucks, what would you get?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe list games you have enjoyed in the past ? So we can suggest games more tailored to your interests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game recently hooked you on the Deck, more than on PC ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got hooked to the new Shinobi game demo I got when on Vacation. I freaking love the Deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix’s next big TV game is FIFA soccer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paywalled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That "leaked" Shenmue 4 trailer has nothing to do with Ys Net, and they're so mad about it they might take legal action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I finished Shenmue I & II on Saturn and Dreamcast. Revolutionary at the time. Fast forward to present times. I couldn’t play Shenmue III. I feel the series is finished for me. They can’t offer me something I haven’t played before.

  How does Yakuza compare? I haven’t tried them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale won't be on Steam right away, as its devs want to avoid "overindexing on negative reviews" from players who "aren't as well-informed yet"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t Steam have a closed beta feature?

  To me it sounds like they want to avoid Steam’s cut of their fanbase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carmageddon: Rogue Shift puts a roguelitey twist on the series' classic wheeled warfare, will start bending fenders in early 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If this turns out to be any good, it might be the first Rogue-whatever I’ll play. Racing games is the only genre where I wouldn’t mind these kinds of mechanics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hi-Fi Rush is ditching Denuvo in January, and it'll become unplayable if you don't grab the latest patch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi-Fi Rush is having its Denuvo anti-tamper software removed

  ok, maybe I’ll now grab it…

  as part of Tango Gameworks’ transition to new owners Krafton.

  ok, maybe not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't expect a SteamOS phone after the Steam Machine, Valve engineer says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pixel level Linux phone backed by Valve? Sign me up! It would mean a massive boost to the whole Linux on phones dev community. But that dream is now shattered. Dang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The response to s&box from Facepunch going open source has been "overwhelmingly positive"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great news. However, how will they make money to keep working on it? Will they still sell the game on Steam? What’s the plan?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale devs confirm they are working to bring it to Linux and macOS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If this gets controller support & splitscreen, I’m forcefeeding it to my kids 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond Steam Machine: Why Valve's New ARM Support Shouldn't Be Overlooked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine a Google Pixel level phone made by Valve, running Steam OS (Linux) on ARM. That’s my nerd wet dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RetroDECK Blog - Retro Gaming Flatpak - November 2025: Finally a fatpak⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer RetroDeck, plus they are close friends with the RomM team, hopefully we’ll see an integration soon™.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TRX an open-source reimplementation of Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider 2 version 1.0 released⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the one that supports splitscreen right? Freaking cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WinBoat adds support for Podman, UWP, app filtering and more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it support hardware acceleration?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they succeed with the frame and machine, the greedy & lazy competition will be even more rabid.

  Instead of working and competing, they will sue until there’s no tomorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helping Valve to Power Up Steam Devices | Igalia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That was a great read, thanks for sharing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake will release in March 2026, according to the latest whispers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% chance of clusterfuckery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Tech Tips “disappointed” Steam Machine won’t be priced like a console - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With a $500 pricing it would be sold out eternally. It would be a revolution.

  +$700 = Niche product

  +800 = DOA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games Store users can now gift games to friends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Corporate public traded company CEOs criticizing Valve as a monopoly when they alone made PC gaming the best platform ever to play games is freaking ridiculous. In exchange for our money, Valve gave us more than anyone else. The return we get is far greater than with any other gaming company.

  Praise the GabeN & GOG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steamworks SDK adds support for Linux Arm and Android, and it seems we know the first Android game on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the Steam Machine ships without a dumb-proof way to use Netflix, Spotify & YouTube, it will be a weird thing to have in a living room.

  They better deploy Waydroid not only for ARM but for x86 too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DF Direct Weekly #240: Steam Machine - Pricing, Specs, VRAM, ARM Ambitions + More⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the machine will be priced as a pc and not as a console (whatever that means)

  Steam Machine 2: DOA 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  We are the niche of a niche. We need more content, as long as it’s relevant.
