Maybe you should then also include the Split Distros Marketshare in the SteamTracker from the current(pre-Deck) survey onwards.

Updated text on Download page to clarify when player is downloading a patch vs an initial download
Wasn't there supposed to be some designation (in the desktop client's download page) for shader downloads? I still see Steam downloading a bunch of (presumably shader) updates on most restarts, with no indication of what it is. The Tomb Raider games have a PATCH NOTES link, but they point at Windows updates from last year, so not very useful.
Same here, initially I thought that its just because Steam adds new precached shaders very frequently, but considering that it is after every PC restart and that 2 updates ago or so a bug for the Steam Client was fixed that made steam load every update twice, I now start to think that this also might be a similar bug.🤔

I didnt even know that it had a Google Play version, yet that it was that popular.
I alwys thought of it as some very small hidden gem xD

An Official confirmation would still be better(or renewing the old one with a time frame/estimate).

520 games are now rated either Verified or Playable for Steam Deck

Some games that run fine on Linux are marked as Unsupported on the SteamDeck, Planetside 2 for instance.
I wonder why, maybe some of the tests are already outdated, or the Tests where not done with the BattlEye Runtime:huh:

Cities: Skylines Airports DLC announced for release in January
14 Dec 2021 at 9:46 pm UTC

I really enjoy the Paradox strategy games a lot, really but Cities Skylines DLC politic is really to much. Every little feature needs a DLC and back than it felt empty and unfinished even with some of the major DLCs included :/

Although I might try it in the feature again, since Transport Fever is not quite the same kind of game.
