Do you dual-boot Windows and Linux? Well, a recent Windows update seems to have been a bit messy and may have broken the ability to boot into Linux. Causing an alarming message to display of "Something has gone seriously wrong".
Canonical developers continue working towards Ubuntu 24.10, the next release of the popular Linux distribution, and thankfully more fixes are coming for the Steam Snap package.
While most people generally talk about ChimeraOS, Bazzite and at times HoloISO, another choice for your handheld Linux gaming is winesapOS that just had a huge new release.
If you have a Steering Wheel, oversteer feels like an essential tool on Linux to allow you to configure it properly and a new release is out with version 0.8.3.
Making it perhaps easier than ever to get more stores and launchers onto your Steam Deck, the NonSteamLaunchers plugin for Decky Loader is now available.
I'm sure you've all seen some of the more playful user reviews on Steam, but they're not exactly helpful for figuring out if you want to buy a game and so Valve have a new "Helpfulness System" they're testing.

We've known for a long time that Valve planned to get the newer SteamOS that's on the Steam Deck out for more systems, but they've been a bit quiet on it. Now, they've confirmed it's still the plan for the likes of the ROG Ally and other systems.
This is a bit of a win for consumers I think, as some developers were making a right mess of their Steam store pages as Valve have now announced some big changes.
