That misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.
Do note that I’m not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can’t, but in all cases, it’s an insultingly bloated pig of a port.
Verified or not, I hope it doesn’t require a year’s salary of hardware and a nuclear power plant to run, like the first PC port did.
I think the quote was, “I’m an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.”
Wow… Given that the GPU was released just a few days ago, that’s impressive for open-source drivers. Thanks for posting this.
Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.
Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:
Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.
Gog funds Heroic.
By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?
There are also GUI launchers that can download from GOG:
Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?
EDIT: The answer is no, GOG is not partnered with Heroic Games Launcher.
What milestone?
To me, Nvidia isn’t worth the trouble on Linux unless you have specific (non-gaming) needs that can’t be met with AMD or Intel hardware.
With this in mind, I kept using my last Nvidia card until it needed replacing, and then switched to AMD. Seems like that might make sense for you, too.
Assuming it works as advertised, I would use this one, in part because it’s not a bloated Electron app like Heroic. (This one is written in Python, and presumably not so wasteful of system resources.)

That build should handle 1440p gaming for more than a few years to come.
You might want to consider swapping out the Ryzen 7 7700X for an X3D model. Many games get a significant boost from the extra cache. It can also make game performance less dependent on your RAM speed.
Maybe wait until the upcoming hardware releases hit the market, because those can drive down the prices of the stuff you intend to buy.
I don’t know of any generic controllers, and wouldn’t trust them to have consistent hardware between production runs. All the worthwhile controllers I’ve used have brand names. Having said that…
Logitech makes decent, affordable, basic controllers. My only complaint about the F310 / F710 is that the analog stick dead zones are a little bigger than I like. (Maybe I’m just spoiled by Sony models, though.)
Sony’s DualShock 4 v2 and DualSense are great in my experience, and not terribly expensive when they go on sale.
Please let us know how it goes.
It’s is (usually) not so difficult, and this is no exception.
Look up the game’s system requirements. Frostpunk’s say this:
Minimum:
Processor: 3.2 GHz Dual Core Processor
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660, Radeon R7 370 or equivalent with 2 GB of video RAM
Looks plain as day to me. Your hardware doesn’t meet the published requirements, or even come close.
Keep in mind that CPU-integrated GPUs like yours are not merely slower than the discrete GPUs listed as bare minimum; they sometimes also lack features that are present in the latter. Similarly, both of your CPUs are older/weaker than the minimum, and may lack some of the newer instructions that would be present in 3.2GHz+ models.
In cases like this, there’s no reason to expect the game to run on your hardware. This is not because you’re running Linux. It’s because of target platform decisions made by the game’s developers.
You might get lucky, or discover enough workarounds to get it running anyway with some effort, but it’s unlikely to be a good experience. If I were going to try anyway, I would start by enabling as much logging as possible, and searching online for any error messages I found in the logs to see if I could find someone else who had encountered and solved them. Be aware that troubleshooting like this can take a long time even if you’re an experienced software developer, and might not bear fruit.
There is stress-ng. Understanding the nature of its many tests can be a chore, but I have found it useful.
One problem with FOSS alternatives is that their test results won’t be comparable with what you see in most hardware reviews and forums, where Windows software is generally used. Having the same tool available on both OS would allow apples-to-apples comparisons, so this announcement seems like good news.
I believe you’ve checked this correctly, but I want to clarify something: Even if the display is plugged into the graphics card, it’s still possible that your CPU’s integrated GPU (or even a CPU core) is being used for rendering, before sending the output to the display.
In other words, we’ve been asking where it’s plugged in not because that would definitively pinpoint the problem, but because it could influence what’s going on behind the scenes.
I hope System76 was able to help.
The problem didn’t affect all systems.
It could probably use a review comparing with Planet Coaster 2.
