580 is the latest Nvidia driver branch that still supports 10-series cards, IIRC.

If Nvidia hadn’t headhunted Nouveau’s main developer to work on the open source drivers for their later cards, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess…

That might help to a small extent. I’d be somewhat worried about this feature discouraging people from engaging with smaller communities, but I imagine the active members count does this already.

Looks like some of these could be helpful, along with the Lemmy411 community itself. Thanks!

N64 controllers with this layout always annoy me, because you can’t use them to play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark with the d-pad under your left thumb, and the analog stick under your right thumb. 1.2 Solitaire layout with the left grip on a standard controller is my preferred way to play these games.

Are you using SteamInput for the desktop controller input? (In steam, go to Settings -> Controller -> scroll to the bottom to Non-Game Controller Layouts, and enable SteamInput for Desktop Layout)?

I believe so, but in my case it’s Settings -> Controller -> Show Advanced Settings, then under Non-Game Controller Layouts I have the Desktop Layout.

I don’t see an option to enable or disable Steam Input. This is the same path regardless of whether I open Steam’s settings in Desktop Mode or in Gaming Mode.

Since it’s supposed to switch when you launch a game, I assume that only applies to Steam games? Would I be able to have this trigger for non-Steam games if I added them to my Steam library?

So I’m guessing that if I launch a game through desktop mode, my binds will conflict unless I do something to prevent them from conflicting, like setting a modifier that needs to be triggered to use my binds?

Proton’s a little more recent than that. I still remember the bad old days of Steam on Linux from 2013-2017 where Proton didn’t exist yet, and running the Windows version of Steam through WINE was a PITA. Heck, Proton didn’t really start to get good until about 2021.

Most indie games work fine on Linux, thanks to Proton. MacOS is just an exceptionally poor platform for gaming.

Consoles are the rich man’s platform these days. If you have a bit of technical know-how, it’s not hard to find a cheap old PC and get some games running on it.

Limited Run

I’ll pass.

Could be, key word “could.” I’ll believe it when I see it.

That applies to PC gaming in general, really. PC games haven’t had useful physical editions in about 20 years. Once Half-Life 2 started mandating online activation through Steam, all bets were off.

It goes even further back than this when you factor in CD keys. Big-name titles started requiring keys as far back as the late 90s, and some games even required them before this. Contrast this with console games, where 99% of loose copies were playable prior to 8th gen.

Not just Core Isolation (aka Memory Protection), Driver Signature Enforcement as well.

Not cracked, bypassed . That’s an important distinction.

The hypervisor bypass only works if you’re on Windows, and it opens up a huge security hole when you use it.

I haven’t watched the video, but my lukewarm take is that duopolies suck and having only two real players in the x86 CPU market has never been good. I was happy when Intel re-entered the discrete GPU market a few years ago (I say re-entered because they had the i740 cards in the 90s) because it meant we finally had a real competitor to Nvidia and AMD in that market.

I know ARM is supposed to be the CPU architecture of the future, but man, I wish we had a modern day equivalent to Cyrix or something in the x86 space. More competition is good.

The radeon driver wasn’t proprietary, just old and superseded by AMDGPU. AMD’s old proprietary driver was fglrx.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Old Slashdot term.

It’s really undeserved, especially since the dev went out of their way to write a detailed install procedure for Bazzite. I just gave them an upvote on that comment, but I wish I gave them one sooner.

I see. I wonder, does any of this have issues on Wayland? I try to use it wherever I can for its security benefits, though I know it’s not as flexible as X11 in some cases.

Also, I don’t know where that downvote came from, but it wasn’t me. I gave you an updoot to bring you back above 0.

Is it theoretically possible for an on-screen keyboard to not need raw device access?
