What parameters are they using to block non-SD devices?

The easiest one would be to check for the SteamDeck=1 variable.

Deepin packages have been thrown out for a second time from openSUSE a few months ago. That stuff is all bling, no foundation.

GPL isn’t non-commercial. Non-commercial licenses are explicitly against the free software and open sources definitions by both FSF and OSI.

I was using Flathub’s Steam years ago already to avoid installing any 32bit system packages. Works fine. This change is no problem at all.

Why is Flatpak the latest shit?

Works on Steam Deck out of the box.

What’s wrong with the classic *.deb viz. *.rpm distribution?

Doesn’t work on Steam Deck.

What?

Telegram isn’t banned in Ukraine. Can’t be that bad.

Pavel Durov had to flee Russia after resisting Putin’s influence on VK. That’s public information known to everyone who cares to spend a minute reading his Wikipedia article.

the EU needs a smartphone brand like…yesterday

Yes, they incentivize another 0.001%. How is google going to survive this?

Tech geeks acting as multiplication factors are the people who brought Apple from obscurity to mainstream.

Maybe but those 1% of buyers are multiplicators incentivizing others to buy the same phone.

GamingOnLinux is a shitty spam blog and not a reliable source. We saw Proton-ARM and Waydroid in SteamDB and those could just be internal research that might never see the light of day. That’s it. Everything else is conjecture.

We do know that Valve is working on a new VR headset that will be ARM based though

is enough for most people to assume that an ARM VR headset is coming

An assumption is not knowing a fact.

It would be stupid for Valve to not at least to explore possibilities but to say that we know that Valve is working on an ARM VR headset is not truthful.

Full AOSP compatibility for Pixel devices is a huge reason to buy a Pixel instead of a 3rd party OEM. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

This is the reason why I’m not a fan of permissive licenses.

If Google is the sole copyright holder, a copyleft license would change nothing because they still have the option to change the license going forward.

RADV was an external effort.

Not only external but a fork of Intel’s Vulkan driver. That’s why Intel’s copyright is mentioned in many file headers.

Which rights do you have?

Plenty. GOG sp. z o.o. is an EU company after all.

Galaxy is free and not required.

It’s a product for paying customers of GOG games. You have rights you don’t have with some open source hobby project.

So does Galaxy?

Heroic is a community “we hope it’s useful but don’t complain when it doesn’t” product.

With Galaxy you are a paying customer who has rights.

we can’t deploy it until a bug is fixed in the Steam client that causes, when we enable SLR 3, all Steam Decks to run the Linux build. Yes, Steam Decks run the Proton version, solely because the save file has different letter casing

Sounds more like the bug is on your side caused by whoever had the genius idea to use different file names for Windows and Linux builds.

there’s no way to fix this without some folks losing their saves, and that is absolutely not an option.

For me the fix looks very easy: Use completely new file names. The old saves are only read and new saves get the new file names. Stay on the current SLR/Proton setup until the saves are migrated to the new naming format for the active user base. Make a dedicated “beta” branch for legacy saves in a year or so to not screw over inactive users. Make announcements and pinned forum posts.
