“Delay” is a weird term to use. It was never even hinted that there would be one soon.

The easy way is to install Proton-GE

You could also look up mfplat with winetricks/protontricks, but GE typically works and is much simpler.

I think Microsoft’s valuation is woefully underestimated

Also GabeN would have to agree to sell it, it’s not really up to anyone else (and I don’t think he’s really interested)

I like Linux better

All the other reasons don’t really matter.

“Linux + SteamOS” compatibility is a bit legacy. It mostly refers to games that have a native linux client (I believe some of the early Proton Validated games are included as well.

The Steamdeck (and generally speaking, any linux system) uses Proton as a compatibility layer with windows, and the “Steamdeck Verified” system is more relevant today. That said, even the Steamdeck verified system isn’t perfect. There are a number of titles that, while verified, have some problems with the deck, typically later in the game or after running for some number of hours. There’s also a vast number of games that while not “Steamdeck Verified” work perfectly on the deck and linux via proton (though you do have to enable it in the settings).

Pretty sure Hans himself said it’s being overhyped:

The “About” of this community explicitely refers to US politics, it’s a holdover from /r/politics which this seems to be meant to be a replacement for.

At one point their AMD driver managed to uninstall itself somehow.

Yup, that’s windows. AMD tends to release most of their drivers without WHQL certification (think, final drivers, just without Microsoft signing off on them, so they get out faster and (presumably) slightly cheaper).

Windows sees this and thinks “Hey! This driver doesn’t have our stamp of approval! Let’s help this dumb user out and ‘update’ it to the latest one that does!”

Unfortunately, this not only puts you on an old version, but now the adrenalin software sees that the driver doesnt match its install and doesn’t let you use those features.

God I hate windows >.>

I don’t think so, with a “real” steam machine you’d not expect to have the same limitations you have with the deck. Something like the rumored Sarlak would be a great chip for it.

Unlikely. APUs aren’t that much more powerful yet.

My guess would be Deckard (the rumored VR headset) or possibly a new steam machine. Longshot on that one though, I think.

You didn’t mention it in your post, did you make sure you set proton to run for non-verified games in steam settings? Also did you try proton experimental and/or Proton-GE?

HUMANKIND seems to be a mixed bag but the others are reported to run well.

Placing my bets on it being a mistake or flatout lies.

But hoping for real and reproducible

Have you not learned that the Russian government lies? Like…a lot?

NATO wasn’t the reason Russia started this war, Putin and his cronies were.

Edit: also, NATO is a defensive alliance. The easiest way to not trigger article 5? Don’t fucking attack a NATO country unprovoked.

Because this war isn’t, and never was, about NATO?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if the Western alliance had honored its promises not to expand NATO

Buddy, the west doesn’t decide to “expand” NATO, the countries ask to be allowed in.

And I don’t think Ukraine felt very “protected” by Russia after 2014.

No, you still need display output of some type

I believe it’s talking about This MSI card, which seems to be prebuilt only? Or maybe the Sparkle Genie A380, which, again, doesn’t seem to be available yet.

It’s not actually available (yet), but why not consider a low profile A380 like this

Relatively cheap, open source drivers, and hardware encoding up to and including AV1.

Edit: oh, and supported on jellyfin. I have mine running on truenas in a fedora 38 VM by passing the GPU through(Truenas scale is running kernel 5.15, so doesn’t have native support).

No, it’s way worse.
