Oh yes you’re right, but then let’s say that a lot of great games were published by EA.

Oh yeah I forgot this one. I enjoyed it too.

Having one launcher isn’t a problem for me. Steam’s OS’s launcher even allows me to launch GOG games through Heroic without even really launching Heroic.

Where it starts being a problem is when individual games need their own launcher…

I see the launcher as the system menu in a console…

I don’t know about clicking, except that with the trackpads I struggle to click correctly, but I think my Steam Deck always restarted in game mode.

I’d have to check again though…

Well they are based in my city and they’ve been around for 30 years.

They use their datacenters to heat buildings and seem to have good ethos.

I’ve been using kdrive for 5 years and I can only complain about the lack of Flatpak (Appimage for Linux) and the fact that they don’t have an alternative to something like Google Photos.

Of course I can’t guarantee they’ll stay like this, but they’re really not a startup

Infomaniak is even cheaper with kdrive https://www.infomaniak.com/fr/ksuite/kdrive/tarifs

While I share your grippes, I would want to add two different ones:

-Auto saves are great, but not when the game doesn’t allow you to restart a level.

For instance, late in Metro 2033, I had almost no more air to go further. I was lucky enough to just have enough to keep going. Had it not been the case, I’d have probably had to start the game from scratch again as you can’t just restart a level or load a previous « safe » save

-Cross platform saves and achievements

My gaming PC is a Steam Deck, so it doesn’t have much power. That’s why I still buy my demanding games on Playstation 5 with the intent of getting them on Linux in the future. I fully understand, why I’d need to rebuy a copy of these games to play them on PC, but I don’t understand why it’s not possible to share a save between different systems. Same for the linked achievements.

So what? How much bigger is it than the other one?

If it allows me to not change too many things on the Deck to install, I’m okay with wasting some space compared to other solutions.

Also it can emulate not just one console.

Huge thanks as it seems to have solved the issue🙏🙏

RetroDeck has the advantage of being a Flatpak and not needing Deckyloader plugin if you’re using a Steam Deck.

I’ve had a great experience with it👍

Having music in peertube would be nice, but I think the artist would have to have some kind of paywall or a Patreon…

So here should I just delete the Boxtron part?

Apparently DOSBox Staging still has some data on the Deck. Should I delete it too?

Heroic is fine enough for me except that I would want it to have background downloads on Steam Deck and better achievements integration.

If we get this, I don’t need anything official from GOG even if more official Linux support is always welcome😇

Well I did everything through the app manager (Discover), so I don’t know how I could have made mistake…

I guess I just deleted DOSBox stagging/Boxtron after noticing that they were not needed…To be honest, I was a bit lost.

How do you that? Should I reinstall Dosbox stagging just to get rid of these messages?

I agree with you but I would still want numbers to go up a little bit, not down the way they are apparently.

800-900 is what they can ask for it I guess. If it’s more it’s gonna get slow sales, which could be okay as Valve doesn’t really need it the way Sony needs a Playstation to sell.

I don’t think I’ll buy it on release as my Steam Deck is good enough for me alongside my Playstation. I might buy it after its first price drop (if it doesn’t increase instead).

For the free programs I use, I have a total of around 100$ to give every year. The more programs or projects I want to support, the less there is for each. Otherwise, I’d just become poorer and poorer.

For paid pograms and services, I’m also trying to not go for the cheapest but the ethically better ones.

I also have a 2 patreons to support creators who speak about FOSS.

I think you don’t have to give much, but you should always try to give something every year.

Exactly! The good part of such a shortage is that old tech can stay relevant for far longer and devs will have to optimize more.

Sometimes, therés a lot of good in a bad situation.

I want great games, not necessarly more demanding ones. The Last of Us 2 is still the most beautiful game I’ve played and I don’t really need more if it means getting new hardware.
