This is about ex-Twitter, not the X Window System.

  It was obviously a joke

I confess I thought this was a possible read for longer than makes sense. I still don't think of the social network as X. Curious how long it will take me to do so. I'm also curious why I would care that my console does or does not have linked accounts with social. Now curious if they have other networks.

  > I still don't think of the social network as X. Curious how long it will take me to do so. My guess is it will be effectively dead as a platform long before people stop thinking of it as Twitter. Imagine if someone took over the Coca Cola company, and suddenly rebranded all of the soda as "W". How long until people stopped calling the drink Coke?

  Even the logo is the same.

  Musk went big on long-form video content and streaming. I don't know if he is still bullish on that. He projected X as a Twitch competitor where a lot of gaming would move. I think that's what this integration was about.

Having actually spent a while pulling down & compiling dependencies & gamescope, on an AMD rx580, no, I could not boot to gamescope. Very unclear to me why it wouldn't start, wasn't leaving much for logs, but it wasn't starting in embedded/direct launch mode. (I really wanted to try Cyberpunk 2078 in HDR mode, which conventional Wayland desktops cannot do yet.) That said there are some much more polished attempts that should just work if you're willing to boot a purpose built os. I intend at some point to start cribbing pieces from chiemraOS, which seems to be what many are built off of, including the very very excellent Bazzite. Their gamescope-session work in particular seems crucial, https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session/blob/main/usr/share/gamescope-session-plus/gamescope-session-plus https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session/blob/main/usr...
