I don’t have an Nvidia card myself but have you tried the latest Wine-GE through Heroic?
Worst case, you can pick up the native Linux version on Steam right now for 80% off.
That’s not a good idea anymore. Especially if you want any assurances that your email will actually be delivered. You’ll be spending a lot of time dealing with non-delivery, blacklists, and spam filters.
It definitely has.
Native Linux support was often problematic because too many developers would use a third party to port the game and then fail to maintain it.
I absolutely love the Steam Deck and I’ll easily take the trade offs that Proton gives us. Maybe one day Linux will gain enough market share to justify more first party native support.
Where is that tldr bot when you actually need it?
I’ve been working in tech for close to thirty years now mostly with larger tech and financial companies. For my parent’s and grandparent’s generation, you could reasonably expect lifetime employment at the same company. Work well and you’ll be treated well.
This started to change when I began working in the 90s and especially after the 2001 and 2008 recessions. Since then, it’s gotten much worse.
Companies don’t want to treat all employees well anymore, just their top talent that they want to retain. Who cares what the rest think because they’re transient anyway and won’t be around for more than a few years. Build around your top people and view the others as interchangeable parts.
Don’t bother investing in the rest of your employees. Just hire when needed, fire those you don’t like, who aren’t a good fit, and who are too old. Firing is one of their top tools if they want a quick cost reduction to boost their stock price.
Maintaining the upper hand of the employee/employer power dynamic is much more desirable than properly treating the people who work for you. If the employees don’t like it, they know where the door is. They’re replaceable anyway. That’s why employees have lost the RTO battles.
As an older worker, I despise how cutthroat the corporate world is now. I feel like I’m about to be tossed out with the trash.
I’m on a cruise ship trying Starlink for the first time and it’s impressive. I haven’t tried anything yet that requires low latency like gaming but websites and video streaming are all fast and responsive.
Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
It’s a combination of higher interest rates, short term thinking, and a follow the crowd mentality when CEO’s see everyone else cutting back.
I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.
Proton is open source. Valve has also been incredibly supportive of and is actively contributing to an open ecosystem for Linux and SteamOS. Desktop mode in SteamOS exists so end users can install whatever tools they want on it.
Thanks. I considered management at various times during my career. But it’s just not for me. With that being said, I can tell you that it’s rough being an older IC if you want job security.
I’ve been running it for about a week now and I’m very happy with it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Disguising layoffs as performance based firings seems to be more and more popular these days. As an older employee who’s in the process of being managed out/quiet fired, it’s a horrible, sadistic way to gaslight your employees and toy with their mental health.
I think Nobara is also still a one man operation with GloriousEggroll being the sole maintainer in addition to his GE-Proton work.
SteamOS has a lot of bleeding edge code for newer features like HDR support that work well on the Steam Deck. But those features are still buggy and not as well tested on other hardware. That’s why there’s no general purpose SteamOS 3.x release yet.
So gaming distros like Nobara that also use the same code are going to have some problems and you can’t really fault them when upstream isn’t stable yet. If you want something less bleeding edge, use Fedora, Debian, etc.
The good news is that things will get better. It’s just going to take some more time.
I’ve had a lot of stability issues with past versions. An update crashed Wayland and I couldn’t recover. I’m going to try Bazzite next.
I’m definitely interested in a modern Steam Machine and I wish them luck. But it’s tough to manage the logistics of crowdfunded hardware if you’re inexperienced and I’ve been burned before. Hopefully they can handle it.
