  • That approach uses virtual machines. While that is possible (otherwise we wouldn’t see it), it is probably not really optimized for gaming.

    Whether or not it's optimized for gaming is up to Google. The technology to bring Frame's ARM Steam client onto Android exists.

  • a fully functional Steam client would still be quite a surprise.

    What's running stand-alone games on Frame then if not a fully functional Steam client?

  • If the permission was necessary, the Flathub package would enable it by default. I can't remember ever having a bad experience with the Flathub package.

  • When I first read that the ship a dedicated Distrobox container just for Steam, I was utterly confused as to what the benefit would be ~and I still cannot see it. Maybe the Bazzite developers dislike some of the restricted permissions of the Steam Flatpak or maybe they just want to package it on their own but the benefit for the user escapes me~.

    I've read another comment and then I realized it's because of Bazzite's Game Mode session. It's a special login session and not just Steam in Big Picture Mode. Flatpaks cannot be used for this kind of specific use case.

  • I still had to go multi-arch on my x64 Debian system, leading to a lot of problems…

    That's what Flatpak is for. 32bit crap is moved into its own corner without interfering with any system level stuff.

  • Maybe I'm missing something but what's the connection to SteamOS? Did I accidentally skip a paragraph that explains how to use it on Steam Deck?

  • Back then Steam was a downgrade.

  • Proton runs on SLR.

  • Can anyone eli5 what the steam runtime actually does?

    It's the thing that actually runs your games.

  • Does it not come to you that someone might have never even heard of DF?

    These few people can just watch a few minutes of the video and get the gist of it.

  • Yes, but as the sidebar says, it's only a non-binding recommendation.

  • as long as people remember to use flairs.

    Lemmy doesn't have flairs.

  • It's the 240th episode of DF Direct Weekly. I don't think they have to explain the format at this point any longer.

  • I think that there is a somewhat decent chance that there will be an ARM Steam Deck Mini at some point. The Steam Client will probably be released for ARM distributions. I think for the foreseeable future there will be a considerable overlap of topics between thee devices.

    I think should there be a flood of posts regarding hardware tinkering of the other devices (people sharing faceplate STLs for Machine or addons for the Frame's expansion port), they could be directed to dedicated communities but for now IMO it's fine to be inclusive.

  • So not “on purpose”

    Inventing and implementing non-standard protocol messages to initiate the display is 100% on purpose. It would be easier to just source an off the shelf board and merely design casing around it.

  • Homebrew could provide their own casks of FOSS applications, compiled on their infrastructure and signed by their key. It's kinda what F-Droid does on phones.
