Do I HAVE to use ProtonUp to keep GE up to date or is there a way to let my package manager handle it?

If you're on cachyos you can install proton-cachyos, proton-cachyos-slr or ge-proton from package manager.
You can also use steam tinker launcher and tick "auto last ge" in game menu which will download latest ge proton and use it. Keep in mind that you'll have to delete previous proton versions.

I'd say "fine" is a good description. They're not explicitly optimized for gaming, but you can still run games on them. Gaming-focused distros probably are all rolling-release so they can get the latest optimizations or whatever, but I can't vouch for them. A distro like Mint is a good easy-mode choice if you just want a stable desktop system, unless your hardware is so new that it doesn't have working drivers in whatever kernel you get. (A fresh install of Linux Mint 22.2 should have kernel version 6.14, if I remember correctly. In-place upgrades from older versions of Mint don't automatically change the kernel, so mine is older. I haven't bothered to upgrade it.) Packages will become more outdated as a given point-release ages, and sometimes you'll have to go outside of the official package repository for updates you care about, e.g. (just giving a personal anecdote) when ScummVM gets support for some game and Mint's package repo doesn't have that update. You can often get newer versions of such things in Flatpak form, and Mint's software manager also pulls from Flathub.

bros i hate lutris so much

Unless they changed it in recent versions, you can set path for "custom executable for runner" under runner config.

what's the point of using a stable distro then?

>>539988616
stable mesa, kernel, and nvidia are not experimental unless you are going out of your way to get pre-release versions or building from source with custom patches. i guess just wait for a point release for updooting that stuff.

>>539961475
Well, I guess it's made for uniform experience across distributions and portability. For example you can't install cores on archlinux version of retroarch since they're managed by package manager.

You can, you just need to edit some paths in the RetroArch default configuration file.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/RetroArch#Configuration
And you don't need to use the online updater to do that as you can just grab the libraries from the libretro website and put it inside your cores directory.

Why would you want that? To avoid using the AUR or to use a niche core without a PKGBUILD.

Pretty much all "unified launchers" ship with their own default emulators/cores. It's just a default or fallback and it existing is a good thing. Yes, it's annoying if you yourself want to preserve space, but what more people get in return is convenience.

Your disk usage might have included the size of both copies during the download. I'm pretty sure that Steam will reserve all space needed for a game as soon as it starts downloading, and it's very possible (though I'm too lazy to verify) that it doesn't actually delete one version until the other is finished downloading.

I actually wish Steam would let me have both versions of a game installed. How they would implement this, especially without confusing normal people, I don't know.

Some devs just don't want other people working on their project and at most want people to just report bugs. Working on something alone makes the work peaceful, while other people being able to jump in suddenly means you need to also act as a community manager or moderator.

But it's also often just a way to legally prevent people from redistributing your software, since maybe you want to monetize it at a later date or you don't want to deal with a random distributor's modifications causing additional, non-real bug reports. (This is also a reason why many devs are against distro maintainers packaging their software and advise using appimage or flatpak. Distros often don't package software well, introduce bugs or don't keep things updated)

Also, a lot of gratis software (especially on mobile) is monetized via ads. Open sourcing those mobile apps means that chinks and pajeets will create forks with their own ads, while some people will create forks without ads at all. Ultimately depriving you of revenue.

Holy cringe. Is the "Steam Deck Native" build really not installable on Linux desktops?
Developers not only treating Steam Deck like a console, but even going out of their way to deny their "Steam Deck Native" builds to other Linux systems, isn't actually that surprising -- but I'd have expected this behavior when Steam Deck was new, not after people are already calling it obsolete and after SteamOS has already added official support for other hardware. This FAQ reads as if even other SteamOS devices are denied. What's next? OLED model exclusives because the devs are afraid to "support" the LCD one?
Even as a Steam Deck owner, I refuse to buy a game that has a Deck-only Linux build. If "not supported" means I can run it anyway but they'll ignore my bug reports, then fine. But if they set up the Steam app configuration so that only a Steam Deck can download the Linux build, then fuck them. I'd rather see no Linux build at all.

SteamOS is 30% of the Linux market share on Steam. It's the only stable/universal Linux platform outside of Proton and Flatpak. They're not going to account for a million random distributions having a million different versions of dependencies which conflict with what's required by the game to run. Not to mention the Steam Deck is advertised as a console/platform devs can target, so this is by design.
You can always just run the game using Proton. And I'm sure people will be able to make the game run on other distros. They're just not officially supported.
This is pretty much the same as many Windows XP or 7 games being playable on 10/11, or some Windows 10/11 games being playable on Windows 7. Or, the fact that you can still use a 5 year old web browser on 99% of websites. You can make it work, probably very easily, but don't expect devs to give a shit about bugs you find.

They're developing for Steam Linux Runtime, it doesn't matter anymore on which distro you run the game. The only difference in drivers and kernel but I see they don't have problem support different verison of Windows on different platforms (Intel, Nvidia, AMD)

>>540151048
>They're developing for Steam Linux Runtime
it's not a compatibility guarantee. There's plenty of old Linux games which don't work at all under the Steam Linux Runtime, forcing users to use Proton.

>>540149736
They actually did configure it to make the "Steam Deck Native" build available only on Steam Deck. Meanwhile, Steam defaults to the Linux (Steam Deck) build on other Linux systems anyway, so if you install the game on Linux now, you get an empty folder unless you explicitly enable Proton.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12344
So it manages to be even worse than other Linux users not getting the Steam Deck build. The experience for Linux users is degraded by this update.
The second half of this problem is likely Valve's fault (hence the GamingOnLinux guy's bug report to Valve), but nevertheless it's one more reason I've lost interest in ever playing this game.

That's because those old games weren't developed with Steam Linux Runtime. They're just shipped alongside it because that's what Steam does. They're also probably ship their versions of some libraries that supposed to be systemwide like glibc, libstd++ and SDL which also can break on modern systems just because. Anyway, we need to actually check what they have done. If they locked resolution and graphics settings then it sucks.

Plenty of other developers make Linux builds available to all Linux users, even if Steam Deck is the main focus, whether that means actively trying to support other Linux systems or just letting people with obscure system configurations cry. Acting as if having a Linux port is an impossible feat is ridiculous. But I'm sure Larian appreciates you swooping in to defend them.
>>540151302
>developing for Steam Linux Runtime isn't a compatibility guarantee because of these games that were obviously not developed for Steam Linux Runtime
Bad argument, but if you just want to change the subject to "Linux ports sometimes bad" then go nuts.

Supporting Steam Deck only is actully retarded. They're like "we don't want to support Linux userbase since it's minority" but then "we will support Steam Deck userbase even though it's minority of minority (30% of Steam Linux users lol)"

>>540151710
>The second half of this problem is likely Valve's fault
The reply from kisak-valve implies otherwise. And the issue is closed. That was fast. There's a reference to a similar issue that was fixed by the developer so it's very possible that this is entirely on Larian -- and given their attitude towards Linux as of writing that FAQ, they probably won't fix it.

>>540152797
Most games historically only supported Ubuntu, yet were playable just fine on any other distro.

>>540154079
That's because Valve had the good sense not to let developers tag their Linux ports as downloadable only on Ubuntu.
Anyway, this whole thing is a great example of Steam Deck not actually making developers give a shit about Linux, and in the case of Baldur's Cringe 3 downloading zero bytes on Linux desktop by default, it just gives them a new way to shit on us, unintentionally or otherwise.

You can even strawman properly. Just grow up.

What's more funny is that there's not even Steam Deck SDK image: you can't compile native executables for SteamOS without imaging recovery image on some device/vm, disabling read-only from filesystem, redownloading half of the system from repos since Valve just manually removed files like headers from already installed packages on the system lol. And even if you manage all that hops you may accidentally link against some library that don't have stable ABI and on the next major SteamOS update your executable will be incompatible (giving that you're going full retard about Steam Deck exclusivity and forcefully disable Steam Runtime). They're probably setup build environment on Debian or Ubuntu LTS.

STOP SHIPPING YOUR OWN SDL LIBRARY FOR THE FUCK SAKE YOU'RE DEVELOPING FOR STEAM RUNTIME IT'S NOT 1999 ANYMORE

This means they are gonna release a gog version.

>>540172445
Most game engines don't target Steam Runtime, they target Linux itself. And they'll bundle required dependencies because otherwise the game wouldn't run on most distros. It's up to devs to trim the fat if they want to efficiently target a stable environment, like "Steam Runtime", with a specific build.

This at least means that the game is playable without Steam Runtime, so it can be released on other platforms like GOG. And if you're targeting multiple game platforms, it's best to decouple yourself from depending on Steam Runtime because otherwise you'd have inconsistent builds with inconsistent bug reports. Having a single, universal, build is objectively better even if it costs the user 1MB-100MB of additional storage.

>>540173032
>Most game engines don't target Steam Runtime, they target Linux itself. And they'll bundle required dependencies because otherwise the game wouldn't run on most distros.
Dude, we're talking about super duper Steam Deck EXCLUSIVE native build which is distributed through Steam, so it AT LEAST target next platforms:
1. SteamOS 3.7.13 with its libraries (which includes SDL2)
2. Steam Linux Runtime Sniper (which includes openssl 1.1)

>>540174115
You're making assumptions that SteamOS will not introduce breaking changes to it's libraries. No dev team will want to risk that.

>>540173521
>Having a single, universal, build is objectively better even if it costs the user 1MB-100MB of additional storage.
Problem is not storage but that SDL is a library that provides stable ABI and that updates over the time to reflect on platform changes. If not updated old SDL library might cause issues like sdl1.2 make fullscreen windows across entire logical space in multimonitor configurations and have other issues. There are libraries that shouldn't be statically linked/shipped and should be always dynamically linked against, treating them like system ones.
>>540174556
It will not because:
1. SDL2 will be always present in native state or in the form of sdl2-compat when SteamOS will move to SDL3.
2. Steam Linux Runtimes don't introduce breaking changes inside a single version, and when support for a runtime comes to an end it doesn't go anywhere. And unlike fucking shipped libraries Steam Runtimes are getting updates as long as they're supported.

At least when you remove shipped library it switches to a system one. Some games are dynamically linking their games to relative path inside game's directory so you have to make a symlink.

>strawman
Hardly. You (>>540155067) cited "this thread" (which in context could only mean this thread's complaints about Larian going out of its way to make a Linux port not run on all Linux systems) as "proof why" (nice grammar) "they" (which in context could only mean Larian) don't want to support all Linux systems. Yeah, sure, I get it; the claim wasn't literally that complaints about lack of support are the reason for lack of support, but rather that our supposed immaturity which is somehow proven by our disappointment at a hardware check is the reason for the lack of support. Still, if your only example of how we're "immature crybabies" is that we get upset about X, calling it the reason for X is at best dangerously close to circular logic. If you were posting on behalf of Larian then you should give them their money back.

>>540173185
I doubt it. It would be great if they released their "Steam Deck Native" build on GOG where they have no means of restricting downloads to Steam Deck, but I find it hard to believe that they would bother to configure the game as such on Steam if they were just going to put out a GOG release anyway. They are so afraid of non-Deck Linux users running their game and generating bug reports that they went out of their way to make it Deck-exclusive (at least to the extent that the Steam platform allows), and releasing the Linux build on GOG would just negate that effort (unless they also put some kind of "if not Steam Deck then crash to desktop" code in the game itself, which would be beyond pathetic).

>>540193785
>they went out of their way to make it Deck-exclusive
... Maybe. According to
>https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12019#issuecomment-3325432697
they've fixed the broken download on non-Deck Linux systems (as mentioned in >>540151710). It's still not working out-of-the-box as of that comment, but apparently the "Steam Deck Native" build is downloadable on Linux now. Whether they actually intend that (implying that restricting the download to Steam Deck in the first place was a fuck-up), or just haven't figured out how to make desktop Linux default to Proton when there's a Linux depot for Deck, I have no idea. But at least Linux desktop users getting zero files by default was deemed worth fixing.

Either you filled the partition (it needs at least ~20% free space to keep nice and defragged), or it was purely a placebo effect. Here's 2 examples, /var partition that gets written to every day for years, and /home, both never defragged in a couple of years of nearly daily use.

https://steamdb.info/app/1086940/history/
So, it took only 1 day of crying and screeching they removed all steam deck checks so native Linux build will download by default on Linux systems. I always tell you that when you interact with corporate faggots they only understand loud crying. With enough crying you can make corporates make absolutely retarded decisions and some modest behavior is the right way to get your issue ignored.

Looks like it's vp9 codec, which is newer. Update your web browser, anon.
If you're on a really shitty device (made before 2015) it's possible it doesn't support vp9 decoding at all, at least hardware based. In which case your browser should default to software-based decoding using your CPU instead of GPU. Again, assuming you're not using an outdated browser version or assuming you're not on iOS.

This have nothing to do with codec, my phone can perfectly decode regular vp9. My problem is you're using 10 bit pixel format which forces VP9 Profile 2 and that what makes my phone shit itself. Use 8 bit pixel format: I found no advantages of using 10 bit and it actually makes encoding slower.
>Update your web browser, anon.
Sorry, can't do that, my phone is 8 years old and the last LineageOS version for it was released 1 year ago

>>540234272
>no advantages of using 10 bit
Smaller file sizes on average.
>my phone is 8 years old and the last LineageOS version for it was released 1 year ago
This has nothing to do with your web browser. Web browsers are not tied to system updates on Android. Even WebView hasn't been tied to system updates in 8 years.
In any case, any sub-$100 phone released in the past few years is capable of rendering 10bit vp9 videos at the quality/resolution that's being uploaded. Trade in your phone for a newer one.

>>540235381

There is a new amdgpu driver bug that causes the system to freeze, reproducible every time. It gives this error in dmesg:
[drm:amdgpu_job_submit [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Trying to push to a killed entity

Dont update to the latest amd driver. Its either in mesa 25.2.3 or linux-firmware-amdgpu 20250917.
It happens specifically when the notification gpu screen recorder uses is closed if you stop recording quickly (while the other notification is still visible).

>>540263918
It happens in all opengl/vulkan programs. Can anyone else running the latest arch with an amd gpu test this:
Run glxgears in one terminal, open another terminal and run: kill -KILL $(pidof glxgears)

and see if that freezes the system (for example try opening another terminal after that)
