Steamworks SDK supports Android now. Obviously, should there be an official full Steam client for Android, the preferred route is for game developers to release native Android games with Steam integration.

No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.

damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.

“AI at its core” is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.

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.

It is, but my assumption is that ARM-based linux and ARM-based android require a different codebase.

Writing a full Steam client for iOS or Android would be a huge amount of work independently from that.

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?

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?

It’s not really enshittification when “Google reads your mail” has been the entire point since the launch of GMail. Relevant ads, grouping mails into topics, find spam, etc. has always been the selling point of GMail.

Proton runs on SLR.

Can anyone eli5 what the steam runtime actually does?

It’s the thing that actually runs your games.

Seems they moved away from code names: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/steamrt4/README.md?ref_type=heads

v4 used to have the code name “medic”: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/wip/task725/medic/README.md?ref_type=heads

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.

Google is developing a Linux runtime for Android, Valve are making an ARM version of Steam, so it could be usable but I don’t think it’ll light the world on fire.

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.

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.
