minus-squareTornadoRex@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·10 months agoThat’s pretty awesome. I imagine this would be a huge advantage with the growth of Linux gaming too
minus-squareBogasse@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9·10 months agoI suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍
