@sopuli.xyzThe guy's laptop broke shortly after he got his deck, so it was more an act of desperation than a willing choice.
I'd recommend trying the "Pause games" decky plugin, it can pause the game process immediately before suspending which fixes most of the audio bugs.
On beta, the two bugs that annoy me the most are both related to docked play.
The first one is that pressing home + A on a controller to open the QAM will open it for just a moment before opening the full steam overlay instead. It's acting like it's counting it as two home presses.
Second one is that every SteamOS update somehow messes up my bluetooth pairing for controllers. The controllers are still listed, but won't connect. Have to forget them and repair before they'll work again.
Reminder that, according to Valve, adding linux support to BattlEye is as simple reaching out to BattlEye and saying you want your game to run on linux.
Yeah, but when this happened proton wasn't a thing yet, and running windows games through wine was very hit or miss.
I bought Rocket League because it had a Linux version, and Linux games were scarce before proton. Epic bought the developers of rocket League, and made it Epic exclusive. People who bought the steam version got to keep it, except for Linux users because Epic cancelled Linux support.
Epic loves to act like they're anti monopoly, but they only care about that when they're competing for market share. They're extremely pro Microsoft and anti Linux.
Also one of the biggest concerns about Valve having a monopoly in the PC gaming space is that they could use their marketshare and money to block rival stores from getting popular games, making it hard to compete and removing user choice. In reality, Valve hasn't done this, but Epic is leveraging their big pile of fortnite money to do this. It makes people think that if Epic ever gets into a dominate market position, that they'll absolutely be an abusive monopoly that makes the market space worse for everyone else.
It takes a lot less money and knowledge to tear things down than it does to build them up. Especially if the members are willing to die for the cause.
