I would agree it is a major release. With the changes to better help and the addition of match...it's a release I have been eagerly anticipated.
You are looking at the numbering system. The version is not 3.10...it is 3.10.0. The move from 2-3 happened 13 years ago, and got a first digit change because it literally broke basic in-built functions.
Performance hits...I think you should have a little glance over at the multitude of side by side videos posted. On YouTube following the launch of the steam deck a Linux console running the steam library, and with AMD and Valve cooperating of the hardware and Linux support for the APU. Many are reporting performance gains in both Vulcan and Dx9-11, with Dx12 being on par...but it is newer.
I have found the reverse to be true. I picked up a lovely second hand scanner for penuts which runs like a champ on Linux, but windows no. I knew I could get it because windows killed scanners.
The other thing is I like buying console joypads, always work out of box on Linux.
If your printer don't work it won't on Mac.
Individuals have different experiences although mine are common hardware.
That is simply not true...and becoming less true.
Go Vulcan
I have pre-ordered mine. It is going to be amazing, although mine will run XFCE as the desktop. Especially after it has added sensible apps. I love their direction.
...it can. That is the point. Steam feel confident enough to launch a handheld console on that selling point.
The last hurdle is nasty anti-cheat which Valve is working on with these companies and are motivated to do so.
What you are saying is simply out of date.
If it's on your machine...you payed for the licence. You continue to pay for it with Microsoft spyware, and monopoly pricing on its ecosystem.
I never bought anything from GOG because they made the mistake of not supporting Linux like Steam. I am not even sure why.
I am sold on buying into Steam as a Platform. For 2 reasons. The physical games I own are a pain to get working, but just work on steam, and now Proton is mature they can continue to continue to support those games now and going forward. Although the games I will buy will use Vulcan.
No he is talking about the very real possibly, of a highly profitable and motivated company whose current work included a whole translation layer for direct X and getting AMD to improve the efficiency of its silicon on Linux, and ballsy enough to make it a gaming platform. Working on the Linux Desktop.
The Steam Deck has already got mindshare. If it can get the launch right. Valve's push for Linux was a great idea, and can only embolden them to expand in Linux.
The steam deck already runs KDE desktop through a dock.
202 was the year of the Linux handheld console. Chrome captured the won the Desktop already.
I have ordered my steam machine
Sure..let me just get my get windows on my phone....hmmm
The bottom line is your comment is 20 years out of date. Linux simply supports more hardware than windows ever did.
My god...RAM does help are you serious in any suggestion that it doesn't.
Go back to school. Hell watch a five minute YouTube video.
I mean it learn to code write a small game.
Very little to do with Android....everything to do with none Apple Hardware... customers given CHOICE want their phone to last longer, and have a bigger screen.
Get over is collect your money for your slowed down iPhone as the irriplaceible battery fails, but if you want to believe a logo changes another companies hardware. Go ahead.
Personally I am going to one of those other companies that offer me longer useage for a eighth of the price, and spend that money elsewhere.
Russia has ruled that Apple is abusing it's monopoly.
Nah.
Apple have not innovated since jobs died.
Apple never had the best product even when Jobs was alive
