Got excited thinking they had finally fixed the rendering bug that causes the UI to slow to a crawl on desktop GPUs on Linux, but no.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

If it's the bug I'm thinking of, you can get around it by disabling hardware acceleration for web views in the desktop client.

Still annoying though.

[–] Zamundaaa@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They did fix that a while ago though?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

It's inconsistent, I still get it once in a while

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you referring to the issue where Gamescope causes massive lag on nvidia GPUs?

[–] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May be a group of bugs, I'm still struggling with it on my 6700 XT.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe the printer is disconnected ?

Valve is such a chill company imo

Why can't Gabe take over the US government.

With Valve moving SteamOS and the Steam Deck's Game Mode UI to support other handhelds like the Legion Go S, and maybe even Desktop at some point, it makes sense why they would be changing this. (emphasis mine)

Isn't this what Big Picture Mode already is?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i'm presuming it'll be big picture mode but less shiiiiiiit

like yeah big picture mode works well enough but it's definitely rough around the edges, for instance it doesn't much like it when you switch to and from steam in big picture mode.

[–] Kaarle@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure it'll be the same as with Steam Deck: The Big Picture UI running inside Gamescope.

It's already possible to do that on other Linux distributions manually.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, give it to me, baby!

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Uh huh! Uh huh! And all the vendors say he's pretty fly, for a Valve guy
