To the OP: Could you wrap the update notes in this post into a spoiler tag? There is no reason this needs to be expanded by default like this. Every we open this post to respond, we have to scroll down 3 or 4 times before we can even see any comment.

    Catherine Classic

    Finally! I couldn't get this one to work at all following all the guides and workarounds from ProtonDB. I ended up playing the PS3 version.

    Everyone who pays for Ai tools are partially responsible to the RAM and SSD shortage issue caused by Ai companies.

    I'd agree with that to an extent but it's far far more the fault of the oligarchy that are doing things regardless if they are getting money from it or not. There's a longer term push to monopolize compute in general and they have the chip making companies going along with it

    He is not the only one buying RAM and selling these services.

    I see this in a similar light as videogame cheat engines (for multiplayer games) and the cheaters. I do not blame only the creator of these cheats, but also its users who buy and and create a sustainable business model. The users of Ai who pay for these services are in a similar way responsible.

    Correct, he is not the only one doing it, but he is the one who started buying up hardware, and made the others follow suit.

    Exactly why he we shouldn't be mad at him only. Also if he didn't start buying in huge amounts, other companies would. Because the need for RAM doesn't stop for other companies, just because Sam doesn't buy. Also a bit conspiracy theory added by me: I feel like these Ai companies had a secret meeting where they agreed on buying all the RAM, as it would benefit them all...

    Helldivers HDR works with this release without the gamescope workaround needed for experimental. Proton-cachyos has issues getting HDR to work properly in other games like 007 too and GE11-1 has gotten HDR working properly in every game I've tried so far.

    Was quite excited to try this, but uh.... well, DOOM: TDA (what I've been playing recently) won't start on this version.

    At least the fun stuff they've borrowed from CachyOS works if I switch to CachyOS-latest for now.

    Nearly totally unrelated but:

    So I'm on Bazzite, on a Deck, make the mistake of running a system update, with Steam open, on the day Steam massively updates itself alongside the SteamOS update.

    I futz around with Steam settings because I didn't even realize anything had changed.

    Long story short, this somehow resulted in my internet adpater drivers... halfway unconfiguring themselves.

    Fortunately I was able to use a shitass tether to my shitass phone, roll back to a previous Bazzite version, which unfucked my network adapter / device, then re roll forward to stable, all back to normal, no data or apps lost or anything...

    But I had to actually pop into a shell session on boot, because the borked net drivers meant Steam couldn't log in, thus no UI option to go to desktop mode... had to actually use nano and edit a conf file to boot straight into desktop mode.

    So that was fun.
