It’s not open source, unavailable on non-apple platforms, and (ironically) needs something like Plex for remote playback.

Many newer games require it and run great, Star Wars Outlaws is the first one that comes to mind.

Valve can sell devices at a loss and make it up in game sales. None of the current handheld makers have been able to compete on price as a result. I don’t expect that to change any time soon.

They’re not trying to iterate improvements, I would put money on them presenting an overhauled dedicated gamepad interface in the next 18 months. That’s still glacial speed, but that’s what happens when you’re a nearly 50 year old company of that size.

One last suggestion would be to try a Wayland session instead of X. I wouldn’t be surprised if it improves the blurriness.

Aside from that, I also have a Framework 13 with the same display and Fedora’s real nice on it 😆

You probably know this, but for those who don’t; that is only FSR 1.0, which is generally not very good but can still be much better than a basic upscaler. If the game has native FSR support, you should always use that instead.

If these are Steam games, the Steam flatpak has gamescope available.

I would use gamescope for this: gamescope -W 1440 -H 960 -f -- %command%

I use the game’s FSR for this if it’s available though. FSR Performance halves the render resolution, and scales the output 2x.

Arch has a useful doc for it https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope

Using the domain name steampowered.com will finally make sense 20 years later.

looks at post history I mean lazy as my joke was, now I understand how you got so upset about it.

You say you got the joke, but everything else you said suggests you didn’t. Just to be clear I wasn’t being critical of your reply, I was mocking the cryptobros the other poster mentioned.

sounds too simple bro, what it needs is more blockchain /s

💯 I see it the same way.

Yes, that’s one half of what I was getting at. The other half is that it doesn’t prioritise aesthetics.

Listen prioritises aesthetics, but is lacking in function. For me, the missing functionality isn’t important.

There’s no single right answer.

The official app could be described as “functional”. This is a native android app and (imo) looks better.

That article is so bad. While still debatable, what he actually said wasn’t anything like it’s been represented.

On Debian 12 we could simply install the backport kernel and the performance issues were solved.

Decent list and plan overall. Since you enjoy self hosting and seem systems oriented, I’d add Python on the curriculum somewhere. That would round things out nicely for you.
