If it isn’t a Microsoft sanctioned solution, then multiple third party solutions exists that fix it.

That's not how this works. If it's not a Microsoft-sancioned solution, it literally cannot be fixed no matter how much effort you put in. You need an API to work with Windows. If Microsoft does not provide you with an API, you can't do it. And even if you find a way to hack together something, you have zero guarantee an update won't just come along and fuck it. Linux distros are open source, you can change quite literally any thing about them. That is what that person was talking about.

Appimage, Snap, Flatpak, Docker, Podman, Distrobox, Toolbox...

Trying to use proprietary drivers and NTFS on Linux is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. People work hard to make it work and maybe it does with a little effort but the proprietary model and Linux distros just don't mesh well together. If you make it a point to purchase hardware that has open source drivers and use open source software (and as a consumer, you probably should anyway), everything does just work. Obviously this may not suit your use case and Linux may just not be for you.

You can't just remove open source software, Proton will exist forever in some form with or without Valve

They do it so they can get clicks from curious kids mindlessly browsing through, it's easy money if you are willing to sacrifice your self-respect

I've tried upscaling with ESRGAN as well and it has similar problems. It messes with the original textures too much. For example, it made carpet look like a solid surface. Skin looks too smooth and shiny. That kind of thing.

I hate how AI upscaling looks and I really don't get why everyone seems to be gaga over it. In addition to the artifacts and other weirdness it can introduce, it just looks generally like someone smeared vaseline over the picture to me.

Ok, not a typo. Other than the title of these patch notes, is it referred to as "Steam Deck OS" anywhere else? On Preview branch the distro still says "SteamOS Holo".

The fact is that they are rebranding it to Steam Deck OS.

As far as I know they've said nothing about that. It's reasonable to say that the title is a typo for a couple reasons.

  1. They've stated they want SteamOS on third-party devices before
  2. There's also the rumored VR headset running SteamOS as well

Two use cases for the OS that have nothing to do with Steam Deck, so "Steam Deck OS" makes no sense as a name. I personally think they are waiting for Plasma 6+HDR support+VR support before they ship a desktop version, it's important to have feature-parity with Windows out the gate for good word-of-mouth.

"SteamOS" is mentioned twice in the actual patch notes

*and make it optional. Like REmake
