I also have realized that game pre orders don’t matter as people opinions aren’t going to match so waiting until after it’s out rarely matters. Cyberpunk was a special case as it’s not like that happens terribly portend

Infinite Karma posted:Is it worth saving ~$25 (and hoping you can source the part that will inevitably be perpetually gobbled up) to do this pretty intensive modification to the system, instead of just getting the higher cost 256gb or 512gb models? It’s significantly more than $25 in savings and it’s unlikely that deck modders are going to put a serious dent in stock. That said, don’t do what I did and cancel your reservation to jump in a different line. “You already own this product”, so can’t check out!

The KDE team said that it would use a Plasma desktop, actually. Which is quite the scoop for the KDE team. So getting non-steam stuff installed would be trivial.

KDE Plasma is great. If you're used to modern Windows desktop paradigms it really is just that. Arch also means access to their software repositories and the AUR, which are massive and up to date. Discord, Chrome, Spotify, whatever is easily installable in a pinch.

Apparently you can run the Windows versions of EGS/Uplay/Battlenet/etc on Linux/SteamOS through a project called Lutris, though I don't know how smooth that experience is The one thing that's definitely off-limits in SteamOS is Gamepass because the Windows Store can't really be separated from Windows

I just assumed it was locked to the equivalent of Big Picture mode.

Its GUI is, frankly, terrible, but you can have games from a wide range of emulators in one interface (including wine, and including native steam and windows steam games). //edit: Here's a KDE dev being excited about running on the N-Gabe: https://pointieststick.com/2021/07/16/this-week-in-kde-kde-powered-steamdeck-revealed/ Antigravitas fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jul 17, 2021 |

They've said they'd put it on the PS5 and Switch if they could.

The problem is compounded a bit by WINE not supporting UWP apps, so even if Microsoft rolled a standalone version of the Windows Store a good chunk of the apps on there wouldn't work AFAIK a lot of the games on the Windows Store are UWP versions even if they have a win32 version on other launchers

PS5 and Switch have market share and getting Gamepass on them would ultimately hurt those platforms which is Microsoft's goal. Making Gamepass available on the Steam Deck or Linux in general would probably help increase their market share, which is the opposite of Microsoft's goals. Having said that, Gamepass already works in Chrome on Linux.

Unlucky7 posted:Spoilery question about Prey, in the Crew Quarters: So I met up with Daniel Sho. Is the fake cook still in the crew quarters somewhere, or do I find him again somewhere else? No need to tell me exactly where; I still have quests to do in the area. Jerusalem posted:You'll find him again elsewhere. Thanks. One more question: Am I under some sort of timer to track him down? Sorry for all the game specific questions. I would take it to the Prey thread but I do not trust a 4 year old thread to not be lax with its spoiler policies.

repiv posted:Doom Eternal had the anti-cheat patched out after the negative PR it generated It really does not matter with just Doom. The fact the issue/problem of not being able to implement drm/anticheat is still common amongst other games in the steam library. Bigger picture is what I'm looking at and Valve is definitely not hinting it will be fine and dandy when they already have a beta to prove it.

Antigravitas posted:Anything with a SteamPlay Icon is running natively. Anything without needs Proton. You can look at Protondb's most borked filter to find anything that just doesn't run. https://www.protondb.com/explore?page=0&sort=mostBorked - 80 were listed as having native linux ports, or "platinum", meaning they run perfectly out of the box - 45 were listed as "gold" (needing tweaks to run perfectly, ie messing with config files) - 5 were listed as "borked" (not working at all) The rest were mostly 'silver' which means they have issues. So 125 out of 150 that will run okay on it is not too bad, although I have to take those numbers with a grain of salt

The biggest difference is that a Cyberpunk preorder was the full price of the game while a deck reservation is $5 (which you still get back if you decide not to go through with the order).

Really enjoying Horizon: Zero Dawn. Some of the dialog and character interactions are cheesey and filled with tropes – and Aloy all but breaks the third wall pointing this out in her reactions!

homeless snail posted:Especially when you consider, that the kind of person that's submitting compatibility reports to protondb, are Linux Guys who are already happy loving around and tinkering with stuff that halfway works. Lots of "Gold" compatibility games with reports like "works great, as long as you delete the DLL that renders the cutscenes" Yeah, I'd strongly lean towards just installing Windows on the Deck if you have no patience for Linux janitoring. It's going to work well up to a point, until it doesn't, and suddenly you're neck deep in the command line.
