Ah okay, thought the mods were doing their thing again, they do keep removing gol posts <_<, i deleted my reddit account - all in on lemmy and fediverse now (but appreciate you sharing it there!)


@mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.ml I saw that you shared it on reddit earlier, but the post is gone, did the mods just nuke it?



Oh shoot, I remember that. I remember being young, dumb and excited about it.


I tried to figure out a funny reply to this, but it’s already too funny. Well played.











Worked fine on Wayland + KDE Plasma for now, although that of course would be XWayland but at least that does still work fine.



For some reason an admin removed this as spam, have today re-approved the post.







Well, maintaining a distro specific to your hardware is one thing, supporting it for others - that’s a huge undertaking.






















No, it’s a Stable driver. Production and New Feature are both Stable branches.



I wonder if the author was just copying verbatim from an Epic press release?

No, I just chose that wording.

Who but corpo snakes, habitual shedders of skin in service of new exploitative endeavors, would use such a word?

Well, me, obviously.

Seems really fucking weird to focus so much on the word like this.



ETA Prime didn’t test anywhere near enough. The game is rough, really rough on Deck.

mmmm debatable, do you count sub-30FDPS hard drops during fights “pretty well”…I don’t :P


You missed the point they likely don’t even know it appears here


This. Use whatever is best for you and sometimes that just isn’t Linux. We don’t win people over by trying to force anything :)

Hopefully this issue will continue to get better over time, which it is slowly.



Thanks now you get it here ✌️




Nice to see some comments like yours truly get it. The amount of people I’ve seen that now use Linux just because of Proton is surprising. It also gave us the Steam Deck. Valve do tons and people saying it’s just “Wine patches” or moaning I didn’t focus on Wine are missing the big picture that you get nicely :)


No one is denying that. I’m certainly not, and it’s not the point of the article either. But people just seem to want to complain, and refuse to just take the win. As always.



I feel like attributing this to Valve is really disrespectful to the folks who developed wine for decades

Honestly, it feels like comments like this are just intentionally missing the big picture, or just don’t understand any of what Valve actually do.

It’s been said by comments elsewhere, but Wine was really not good years ago. It was difficult to use, obscure as you had to seek it out and know what to do. Valve funded DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, various extra Wine patches and pushed it all together into Proton with Q&A testing, regular upgrades for big games to get them working ASAP and put it in front of millions easily directly in the Steam client.

and more recently also Vulkan

Which once again, Valve massively helped push and even hosted the early discussions on it.


You’re massively simplifying it. Proton is a lot more than just “icing” on the top.



For context I posted this on Mastodon and had no idea it would show up here too lolwat
