    Call me out if I’m wrong, but my Deck is noticeably snappier after this update. TF2 is also smoother, which is weird considering the game hasn’t changed visually at all. Not even an update notice of anything major.

      I’m late to the comment board, but I had to say something. I was amazed when one day my broken Balders’ Gate III P22 install suddenly not only worked, but worked with Vulkan. Until now, I figured it was an improvement to the Proton-GE or Experimental that came down around that time. Anyway, when I loaded my game (in the underdark) on my OLED, I was shocked at the improvement.

      Not only was the framerate closer to 40+ vs 28-30, but it was vibrant. The resolution appeared to be better, too. It was gratifying to see it looked better than on my ancient Lenovo gaming laptop (circa 2016), which, to my surprise, handled it quite well considering the age of the NVidia card.

    I’m surprised I haven’t heard much about Collabora partnering with Valve before now. From reading their articles about it, it sounds like they’re largely responsible for the Deck’s update framework and for pressure-vessel which is designed to provide a standard linux container for games to run inside of (think of it like a flatpak but just for steam games).

      Collabora has been quite active in the field, e.g. they’re the prime developers of WINE’s current Wayland solution. So it makes sense for Valve to partner up with them.

      IIRC SteamOS development is mostly outsourced to contractors like Collabora and Blue Systems with Valve having only a handful of people to oversee the development and the occasional in-house developer.

    Nice to see we can expect some improved update deliveries with Desync. Now, if only they could implement a way to layer persistent packages like you can with rpm-ostree

          You seem to have a misunderstanding of how Bazzite works. It’s just a custom Fedora Atomic spin that includes things like the deck firmware updates, drivers, and gamescope. It does not run SteamOS in a container.
