Valve 'Fremont' APU breaks cover on Geekbench, most likely for a future console (www.club386.com)

New steam controller expected to release alongside it. This also should push back estimates of when to expect a Steam Deck 2, since valve is probably putting most of their hardware efforts towards this instead.

You're also massively wrong about DirectX on Linux, DXVK and VKD3D both work to run various versions of it on Linux.

I very clearly wrote that Linux does not support DirectX. Which is 100% true, no matter how you look at it. Just because there are translation layers, it doesn't mean Linux 'supports DirectX', because it doesn't. It supports Vulkan, which DXVK and VKD3D translate DirectX API calls to.

Let's say you can't read Spanish, but you hire a translator to translate a text for you. Now you can read it. Does that mean you can suddenly read Spanish?

There have literally been changes to the kernel for DXVK/VKD3D/WINE to run better. Linux is just a more piecemeal system rather than Windows/macOS having a more holistic approach to an OS.
