Bazzite:

Every time we review a PC Windows gaming handheld, the key criticism is always the same: the OS simply isn't good enough for mobile use. And yet SteamOS is.

Enter Bazzite, a Linus install that replicates and customises the SteamOS experience for windows machines, including the Asus ROG Ally.

Does it work? How well does it work? What about performance? And what about the Ally's unique selling point - its VRR display? Oliver Mackenzie reports.

In sfarsit, am scapat de aberatia aceea de GeForce Experience. Ce m-a mirat a fost faptul ca la un upgrade de driver (v566.14) nu au upgradat de la GeForce Experience la Nvidia App (desi spuneau ca este deja in pachetul cu drivers). A trebuit sa descarc separat Nvidia App, si de-abia atunci mi-a spus ca va face upgrade de la GeForce Experience la Nvidia App. Oh, well...
