That’s unknown information to us.

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.

If anything, a fork would take its place. If something like that would happen. It doesn’t even need much change, only the name and branding, and the user agreement. While doing so some defaults would change too probably, as a sideeffect. To be honest, I hope this happens.

The Ubuntu and Manjaro era is over. Arch is the new Ubuntu (by popularity for gaming). Fedora and Endeavour also grew a lot. Question is if they reached their ceiling already. Pop OS could explode in popularity once COSMIC is out, but maybe not for gaming. Bazzite got even a patch note addressing an issue with this specific distribution in the game Marvel Rivals. Here is a lot of potential for this distro, as an alternative for the future general SteamOS distro (if it ever comes out as a general install media). BTW, nobody seem to talk about HOLO ISO anymore.

That was my exact same thoughts.

That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

• Notes are now available on the web! You can find them on the games list. Select the “Games” option under your profile name, then find the new “My Notes” option on the “My Game Content” menu. They will be added to the Steam Mobile app in a future update.

Makes notes much more useful if you have a Desktop Pc and a Steam Deck. It would be nice if the notes could be accessed directly on the store page too.

I would like to have that too. When I looked (oh god its already a year ago) couldn’t find any. I’ve created a control scheme that I would like to share and its fairly complex. Having a standardized files to edit for sharing, or better yet, convert directly from Steam and export to an image (.png or .svg) would be great.

Anyway, no solution, just expressing my interest. I actually want to write a manual for the control scheme.

Please do not make a SteamOS exclusive game. I love Linux and Steam Deck, but this is not a good idea to exclude Windows users from playing the game.

I also bookmarked the Librewolf Flatpak package. I consider to change my browser (Firefox) for the first time in 20 years or so, since its inception. I do not rely on the Mozilla account, so the switch should be easier for me. Passwords should be compatible I assume. In worst case you can export and import passwords.

They do not get ownership, but a license to do what they want with it. Giving a license does not change ownership, yes they are correct with this.

Ayaneo Next II seems to have two trackpads and Lenovo Legion Go 2 only one.

Agreed. The touchpads are one of the key points why the Deck is so great to me. I could live with only one, but it really requires at least one touchpad; ideally two.

I still think Valve need to release the SD2 soon before these manufacturers eat their dinner.

The other PC handhelds aren’t really competitors in the classical sense. Valve can (unlike the consoles) wait and release the Steam Deck 2 whenever it is ready. No need to rush and make it bad. Remember, most people buying a PC handheld to play PC games will probably install Steam. And it does not make any difference for Valve if they purchased the game on Steam Deck or any other PC system, as the price cut is the same across hardware.

Sure, Valve wants to sell and control the PC handheld as much as possible. But bringing out any new device is not that urgent right now. Valve got already what they want; the Steam Deck is the default target by developers, when it comes to PC handheld.

If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

I agree. There is not a high priority to have official support, as the unofficial support is good enough. I played Overwatch (and later OW2 a bit) for years on Linux. It felt like native to me. All I am really asking for is not to ban or block Linux users.

WINE runs them fine, so there’s a limited return for Blizzard to do a native port.

Officially supporting the Linux platform does not mean doing a native port. Look in example what Marvel Rivals does. They do support Linux, with official statements and with bug fixes related to Linux (they even specifically mentioned a specific bug fix for Bazzite in one of their recent patch notes). The game runs through Proton. Blizzard / Xbox could do the same here.

Microsoft itself has some conflict of interests, where they use Linux in servers and work actively on Linux itself. And at the same time Microsoft wants to bring the Xbox brand to as many platforms as possible, as it is no longer the Xbox console that counts. So there should be an interest to make the games officially supported on a Linux platform.

On the other side however, they also want Windows to succeed. And not supporting a minority platform means huge savings in time and money and less complication in management. I am curious how Xbox gaming brand will handle Linux in the future.
