God bless Gamescope for saving me from my alt-tabbing habits
old games when you alt tab on fullscreen

For a Steam Deck specifically? Probably not. SteamOS is already heavily optimized for that exact hardware. Valve controls the kernel, drivers, firmware, power management, Gamescope, and the entire gaming UI. That's a huge advantage.

AMD VSR is not on Linux CachyOS, so I just found out about Gamescope which apparently is used on SteamOS on Steamdeck. Im now downsampling Alan Wake 2 from 4K FSR4 INT8 Ultra Performance to my 1440p Display at 170hz pulling 60-70fps VRR/Freesync. Note: INT8 is taxing on 6700xt.

Different thing instead for the MSI Claw which has an Intel ARC GPU and doesn't work well on SteamOS or doesn't boot at all. It only works on Bazzite and CachyOS because like I said they have non-AMD ISOs with gamescope disabled

NVIDIA (and Intel) would need to work with them to add gamescope compatibility with their GPUs as well, something Valve can't force them to do and it's up to them to decide. The only way to make their GPUs fully supported would be creating another image with gamescope removed.

I'm still not sure about other hardware support though. Valve uses their own technology, called gamescope, to kill all unnecessary services that are not for gaming to create a restricted gaming mode environment running in Big Picture UI.

The problem has to do with Nvidia drivers on Linux specifically. There are *still* documented issues with Gamescope, the tech behind SteamOS's game mode, when using an Nvidia card. And the fact that Nvidia still controls a majority of the PC market, GPU-wise.

Is there any reason you couldn't just use this inside of Cage or Gamescope and use this as daily driver if you where insane?

You can set it a bit higher, for example picking the Lower profile in patches instead of Lowest! The FSR is applied in the ShadPS4 settings in BB Launcher, is not the one from Gamescope (Performance Settings on Steam) 🙌

obsessed optimizing my new Mini PC, even made profiles: Home: plasma on RX 7900 via OCuLink, iGPU disabled Travel: stock plasma, no optimizations Gaming: gamescope on RX 7900 via OCuLink, iGPU disabled Workstation: hyprland VIRT, RX 7900 via OcuLink isolated for VMs
listening to the marvel vs Capcom 2 soundtrack while flashing a vibe coded bios that allows me to carve 32G of UMA memory for my iGPU

The main reason I don't like Arch based distros is because they always have random issues that aren't present on Arch. I knew things would be bad when after installing gamescope it just would refuse to work, it starts and I can hear the game, but the window wouldn't appear.

Valve pourrait intégrer FSR 4.1 directement dans Gamescope via une simple mise à jour du système, ce que Microsoft ne peut pas faire aussi facilement côté Xbox (où ce sont les développeurs qui doivent patcher leurs jeux). ⬇️

Le Steam Deck aurait même un avantage sur Xbox pour en profiter. Il tourne sous Linux avec Gamescope, donc FSR pourrait être appliqué au niveau système, sans que chaque jeu ait besoin d’une mise à jour individuelle. ⬇️

unsure if rhetorical, but saw in feed and wanted to answer LOL. tldr budget & gamescope. Unless a game is entierly about how expressive it is (wonder, mkw, bananza, etc.) pushing expressions takes a backseat. Think of Wario in his model vs 2D art same case
Replying to @wariocolosseum
Just because they didn't ever care previously animate the brow before that doesn't mean it's impossible. Compare NSMB to Wonder same as that. more difficult expressions like the big teeth grit literally swap to a new model If really needed. It's not the redesign, its anim polish.
