Good old Skyrim :eyes: back in the days, I was 15 yo and did not have a computer capable of running the game I absolutely wanted to play - so I bought myself a XBOX as cheaper solution, just for this game :joy: good times!

Oh I wanted to play this one as well, only I didn't get the xbox. I waited several years, but oh boy was I hooked. The mods made it even better. I still fire it up now and again.

Great open source game tool, thanks. :+1:

Released November 4, the latest update to Proton Experimental added in improved support for Mafia II (Classic), Disgaea 4 Complete+ and Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered. On top of that, work more went into improving the new support for CEG DRM on Linux with Proton. Now you should see an improvement to the startup time of games using it, pushing it another step forwards towards being ready to roll out in a stable version of Proton.

I mean, if they launch a switch version and the entire scripting (skse) has to be updated/redone and there is a proyect that has managed to load skyrim assets natively to linux (the morrowind port) I mean... a man can dream right.
F I forgot that bethesda is a part of microsoft now... T_T

Yes, I was very distraught when this was announced, especially with the new/next skyrim in production.

dont worry about elder scrolls 6, it will launch alongside GTA 6, in a very long future. About skyrim, maybe if enough people ask for it? the issue is valves marketing of "no porting required" and the bast majority of users not knowing the advantages of a native build, and thats not even talking about a tailored build for a deck... I better stop, am starting to confusse reality with fiction.

Handy little how-to to get your Gamemode on. You can activate Gamemode in your friendly Garuda Gamer app, under tools.

Another FREE GAME from Epic. This one was released today, coming to Steam soon so there is no Protondb info on it if it runs well with Proton or not. Be that game tester you were born to...oh :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: whatever.

If you as many others were wondering about how valve was gonna make steam os 3.0 stable the answer was already given, by making it a fedora silverblue style of os (wich would explain why on tested steam deck cover the os had a snapshot label), is an interesting approach for sure what do you guys think?

I actually use linux to work only, as a barrier to not play games while working. As games normally don´t work out of the box. Last week installed cruzader kings III and it worked. Had to wipe it out before I got addicted again...
