Steamdeck has done such good things for Linux gaming, it’s like an overnight shift in development attitudes and I love it.
Linux Gaming
Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME

The Steam Deck may not have a ton of users, but enough that developers are willing to put in a little more effort to ensure compatibility.
Maybe if Valve could work out shipping them to other regions officially we'd see more growth. I still see people lamenting that they can't buy a Deck without going to some sketchy third-party and overpaying.
I'll be joining the Linux team soon! My new parts arrive in a couple of days and I will only use Linux from here on out, except at work unfortunately.
I built a new PC with the intention of adding a second drive for Windows. It's been two weeks of gaming and I haven't gotten around to it yet. Might never.
if you really want windows and have it containerized, use a VM
Can't run it on the GPU for my VR headset if it's a VM.
Not me, they sold out :(
Huh?
Just because your region still has them doesn't mean everyone else's does. Way to rub it in.
Oohhhhhh, I though you meant you were boycotting Valve because they "sold out".
