That has never been an issue. You can install windows on the deck if you want. The hardware belongs to the people that bought it. That has always been Valves stance. They were up front from day one selling hardware. If you want to install windows...

Freedom by strong arming from one company to another? That doesn't track from the origination point of this "freedom". Freedom to choose must also have a justified foundation to base said ethos upon.

My guess is if they say anything at all it will be. SteamDeck/Cube are not locked devices they are open always have been. IF you want to install another distro that requires Secure boot... go head. Its your hardware.

Yes, so why is the general thought that they'll agree to work with Epic Games when Tim Sweeney is constantly trash talking Valve, Steam, & Gabe Newell?

Everyone understands they are a company and making money is the goal. At the same time. At about 100 different junctures now, when most companies would have chose to close source X or Y bit or call it proprietary. Valve has done the opposite and...

Eh, what? He always acts like he's the higher moral authority over Valve. Never fails. :ROFLMAO:

Tim Sweeney has to remind everyone how stupid he is. He better hope Valve accepts his EAC-V2 anti-cheat.

I can't imagine trusting anything coming out of Tim Sweeney or anything he's involved with. I'm at the point that any game using EOS/EAC or Unreal Engine automatically requires extra consideration; it's as bad as Denuvo. There aren't enough...

oh well... Anyway, while I was checking all this I realized the systemd service I made wasn't copying my stub to the efi directory because I removed the linux pkg (I'm running linux-rt) and it assumes that files related to that are present. I...

You can't use self signed keys...

The requirements are more strict then that, signed kernel is one of the requirements. Arch proper isn't going to be signing kernels for Epic. EDIT: and I'm slow Maz got it. Yes your kernel has to be signed by the distro. Epic plans to keep their...

Single player or multiplayer games? If it's multiplayer then we're already in this situation where Linux users can't play multiplayer games with anti-cheat. So if Epic pulls out then we're right back to square one. Considering how much market...

As long as I can switch kernels when I don't play Fortnite then why should I care? It sucks that you gotta reboot to switch kernels but if you really want to Fortnite then it's an option. It also opens up other games with their anti-cheat on...

Depends on the distro your on and the implmentation your dealing with I imagine. And granted nothing is shipping at this point. Going through the CachyOS pulls and Git Discusions. The cachy implemntaiton is going to be a little more then just a...

Correct. Yes that is the situation. Canonical is a for profit server company that no one really much likes. Did you not know that? The have earned good will over the years and then burned it more then once. :) You keep saying that but as I watch...

I stand corrected yes you don't have a thread director. Regardless Sched-ext isn't useless. AND it is one Linux feature that is not going to work with EAC2. In fact sched-ext as we are talking about Valve, the default deck scheduler is LAVD. And...

They don't push anything. Grub is right there if you want to use it. https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/boot_managers/ As per their wiki; Grub is still the option to choose if you want to encrypt your boot for some reason and it supports more...

Your on Intel hardware Maz. Your CPU has a built in hard coded thread director. Yes very few software schedulers make a ton of difference on your hardware. Well at least now you have progressed to this is the list of stuff you can't use but it...

It will be... things like Sched-ext are out. Their are other restrictions as well. https://github.com/CachyOS/linux-cachyos/pull/1084 Again we'll see where this goes Maz. Good on Peter for engaging with Epic. This is still looking like a whole...
