That’s not really on Valve though.
It’s the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.
I’m tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.
I don’t think so. Maybe they’ll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?
In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).
It’s supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.
There’s already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it’s fine, but in real world as a user you won’t really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that’s still using a more powerful chipset.
Which is sad for a new device…
They’re supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.
I don’t have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.
I’d say on my setup it’s comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.
And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I’m sure newer cards have improved.
Amd transcode isn’t very good and isn’t very compatible with Linux
It’s compatible just fine. But the quality… well, it’s not the worst, but definitely not the best quality.
users expect support when things don’t work
no shit, that’s why you refuse support for users with unsupported configurations.
This is not a new concept.
It’s standard for big companies to say they only support RHEL or Ubuntu, in every other case you’re on your own.
Instead of axing their entire Linux support they could just do the reasonable thing, which is ignore issues that are out of scope.
Or should they support users trying to run their software on Windows 95, just because it’s still technically Windows?
But they’re not - it’s the same old, tired excuse that was never true.
“Too many different distros” was never really a good argument.
Just support one and users will figure it out, like we always do.
I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.
Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?
Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.
Outrage narrative? Are you talking about me, or you?
Are you actually a Proton user, or you just here to shitpost? Because there are features that were promised years ago and then forgotten about, because they aren’t trendy enough.
Last commit was 14 minutes ago, so I’d say it’s not dead.
Is a paying customer not allowed to complain that they waste their time on chasing the next popular thing, instead of, I dunno, delivering important features promised years ago?
I think making it an opt-out is sensible
Why? I’m not in the business of making ad companies’ jobs easier.
I guess you’re right. I should’ve upgraded first and checked it, oh well.
It specifically does mention that though. In Plasma 6.1 you can choose EDID, custom ICC profile or no profile.
You know, this explanation isn’t wrong, but having a printer manufacturer in your analogy show up as a victim just feels wrong.
No, it really doesn’t.
In competitors’ apps you can still integrate it with 3rd party services.
Teams keeps failing at the most basic features of a chat/calling app.
Yeah… I wonder if it’s the same story here - devs trying to interpret the rules in their own special way and Google putting their foot down.
EDIT: as far as I can tell they kept referral links in the Google Play version and still claim to have no ads or tracking.
I guess they’re still lying.
