rEFInd has touchscreen support!
Yup, rEFInd would be a fitting boot manager for Steam Deck due to its graphical nature and touchscreen support

Hmm, Halo: The Master Chief Collection seems to work on Linux fine, though maybe it's the multi-player that is broken, I only play it in single player.
Yup, I think the EAC multi-player thingy disqualified Halo MCC from gaining a good rating

Still playable in single-player, though

Quoting: dpanterNice, I wondered where the 'Active Window' option had gone in Spectacle. :happy:
Same, I wondered this (Vulp created a lot of screenshots with active window)

Now we know it will be back soon!

SteamOS for the Steam Deck gets slimmed down to 10GB
17 Dec 2021 at 8:12 am UTC

Quoting: L1QLet me interject for a moment, GB and GiB are different units. Gigabyte (GB) is the base10 unit, while Gibibyte (GiB) is the base2 unit. This makes a difference even at the scale of 24 GiB (= approx. 25.7698 GB). See how Valve correctly uses the expected base2 unit in their changelog?
The wonderful world of memory and storage units

9 years ago Valve put out a Beta of Steam for Linux
6 Nov 2021 at 9:20 am UTC

It is been a very exciting year for Steam gaming on Linux

All starts with something special nine years ago, that was time when Vulp just started dabbling with Linux as primary computing platform (including for gaming)

Hopefully, the upcoming Steam Deck can bring us to the new height of Steam gaming on Linux
