Looks like most people are using GloriousEggroll's version of Proton (ProtonGE) and some are using launch options to disable the EA Launcher.

GE works on Wine at Red Hat and is thus very knowledgeable about windows translations and the stuff he changes about Valves Proton are often merged down the line, its like an unofficial beta release and I've had good a experience with his proton Versions.

That said, to actually get custom Proton Versions I use "ProtonUp-Qt"(available as flatpak): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

Which downloads different Proton Versions and manages them for you. You can then set the default for all games in the steam settings, or on a game-by-game basis

This literally doubles (if not more) the workload to run these benchmarks, not to mention having to write new automation procedures and Steve just not being familiar with Linux at all, all for 2-3% (tops) of his audience.

Be glad that he is doing them in the future and don't be a demanding, entitled prick.

Judging from the past releases, I'm betting:

$60-70 (70-80€) Base Game

$80-90 (90-100€) Deluxe Edition that includes like 20% of the total cars and like a week earlier access

$100-120 (110-130€) Premium Edition that includes the Deluxe and future DLC

Plus some pre-order exclusive cars and cosmetics

I'm not sure if they're concerned with Saturo Shibata directly, it's just that under Reggie, Nintendo of America pushed hard for stuff like free Wii Sports and cheaper prices (which worked great, making the Wii a huge success), while the Nintendo Japan was of the opinion that nothing should ever be given away for free.

Under Bowser, Nintendo of America fell in line behind Japan. Culminating in stuff like the welcome tour for the Nintendo Switch 2, something that is just a tech demo of the device you just spent $400+ on, costing $10.

Having Saturo Shibata as CEO, it seems this will get worse, not better, since Nintendo Japan is excerting more control over NoA.

Sure, but the waste of AI is so much worse while providing close to no benefits at all (or probably even damage society as a whole).

Just to put this in perspective: OpenAI alone had a $40 Billion funding round in March this year. That is enough to build that huge particle accelerator and run it for 20 years. OpenAI burned that money in 6 months (they needed another $40 Billion in funding in August) and all they have to show for it is GPT 5 which is just more of the same.

Sure other Science Projects could probably do a lot more with the 40 Billion, but the complete waste of resources in the persuit of AI isn't comparable to ground breaking Physics experiments which actually helps further our understanding of the universe and the very fabric of reality.

but it does struggle to hit those targets with performance mode often only getting 45ish FPS and drops into the 30s.

I've been running sid (unstable) on my htpc for almost a year now without any problems (wanted Debian, because that's what I know, but also wanted HDR support, which came with plasma 6, wichich was only in sid). Just as stable as Bookworm so far (anecdotally).

I've actually been thinking of moving my main desktop from mint Debian edition over to sid as well.

Sid is even one step more unstable then testing, so testing should be no problem either

The stats are from StatCounter which has this in their FAQ:

What methodology is used to calculate Statcounter Global Stats? Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally. These sites cover various activities and geographic locations. Every month, we record billions of page views to these sites. For each page view, we analyse the browser/operating system/screen resolution used and we establish if the page view is from a mobile device.

So it's the percentage if web traffic (to sites that use this analytics service)

Safari + AdGuard used to work on my iPad, but it has recently been blocked with a disable Ad-block message. Orion works for me when I disable all build-in content blocking and using the Firefox version of Ublock Origin.

I think the build-in blocker is too basic and gets detected by YouTube, while ublock works (everywhere I've tested it, desktop, android, iPad)
