The main thing that a bad actor would gain is "being kicked off of the steam store". The bigger threat would be if Gabe figures out which is the bad actor's main account. Losing all their games would be pretty big blowback for such an attacker.

The problem is that SteamOS doesn't have a whole lot of boot options besides "start up directly into Game Mode successfully". If Steam chokes while ingesting any of its config or any metadata in your library, that's the end of it. You can hold a button to wipe everything (the Playstation solution), or you can figure out how to boot a live-iso and fix "the problem". Not everybody has the skills to fix stuff in Linux, heck not everybody has the ability to "boot up from a usb stick and have a working keyboard, using only one USB hole".

When you change your nvidia driver version, you also need to do a "flatpak update" so that you have the matching nvidia library version.

Seeing a mountain biker and an equestrianeer both go down so hard that they took an involuntary nappy makes me feel a lot better about not going outside. Yes, I should play more video games.

Is "the bandwidth of a single nvme drive" actually a bottleneck for your application?

I'm so old that I remember when the Olympics was on more than one channel. If one channel had bad chatter, you would just bend the aerial and turn the dial to get something better.

Star Stuff : which is a very cute little programming-puzzle game. Light on the programming - you are heavily boxed into there only being one correct solution.

The Farmer Was Replaced : literally "Python the game".

Veritus : the sequel to Prodigal. It's weaker for lacking the whole adventure side of things, and no waifus 😭.

Arranger : have it as a Netflix Mobile app. Really cute little slider puzzle game, the artwork is gorgeous on an ipad.

This. A fresher Proton-GE is also going to come with a newer DXVK, the DirectX to Vulkan translator.

The other part of your equation is "what is the Nvidia driver version?". Dunno if Fedora has the E-sync capable version 555 yet.

There is no guarantee that EA won't change the deal after you've bought the game.
