And it's very valve to just silently give up on something
And it's very valve to just silently give up on something
AI agree with them tbh
ABut still
ASteam deck is too good for them though
Jif they were working on it it'd be obvious that they were
AControl the hardware and software
J2 years ago a bunch of KDE people would have been like "hey I got a new job!"
Jand we'd see a bunch of kernel people changing their jobs on linked in
STo be fair, it makes sense for them to provide support only for a couple OS, including the one they have control of. One of the biggest gripes companies have of supporting Linux is the need to support a bazillion distros each with their weird stuff happening in the background
Jand we'd see a bunch of driver people announcing stuff, etc.

AThere's a balance there sure
ABut if your software only officially supports the steam deck
ABoth gamescope and steamos
Tseems normal... and wayland also doesn't work?
AIf I don't have a steam deck what am I even supposed to do
CThat's just excuses really, they only need to support Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora
CArch people will figure it out
Pblack screen 
and many time the same on x11
and many time the same on x11Pfresh install this afternoon just make update after that
CNot much different from supporting both Windows 10 and 11
ANo
AIt's different
KHi guys ^^
Hnnnope
ABut still, they could be a bit better at it
Ti would consider making the help thread and github issue tracker to see if other nvidia users have this issue too
Ti do not have nvidia hardware to test myself
Hbecause of how dumb peculiar the linker is on linux, it's significantly harder to support multiple distros
Hon windows you can at least be reasonably sure a random update won't explode your software
Twill uninstall your drivers sometimes tho
A"just two distros bruh"
AEvery single package is different
Hflatpak and nix are simpler in that regard but they have their own issues
AWhat's simpler about nix that's even worse
Hin the specific "it won't explode after an update" regard
AWindows 10 vs 11 is like Ubuntu 20 vs 24
KFlatpak is for sure the future of GUI application packaging on Linux
ANot Ubuntu vs fedora
KLittle reason to do stuff the old way
AYou added support for 20 on 2020 and now you maintain it while adding support for 24
CValve's runtimes are already Ubuntu
AIt might not explode after the fact
KI don't have any experience with linux dev yet, but I heard some game developer ranting about fedora in specific on how it named shared libs
AIt will explode a million times before the fact
AAnd on every single update
ASource: have a package on nix
Hoh yeah no im not arguing with that lmao
Hnixos unstable is a minefield
SShared libs are a bit of a cancer everywhere, though, and that's why Flatpak, despite some contention, is nice for graphical apps
