Quoting: utxIsn't counting the steam deck kind of cheating since its the hardware and not users using the desktop mode of it?

From the perspective of a Linux Gamer... no, while using the Steam Deck they are Linux gamers. More Linux gamers means more support regardless if they use the desktop or not.

If Ubuntu did Mesa and Kernel updates, I would put it on top. But without it I wouldn't recommend it, at least to AMD GPU users.

I hope there's HDR support for Linux soon. I have a PS5 at home and this is one of the games I would prefer playing on the TV. Because of the missing HDR support I would probably still buy the Game for the PS5.

I'm also considering using Fedora, but less because of Fedora itself more because I would like to try out Gnome instead of Plasma for a while. And I think Fedora has a very vanilla Gnome. But besides that I'm still very happy with Solus Plasma, no reason because of that to switch. Just curiosity.

Quoting: ArdjeI can totally understand GPD though. They had a "mediocre" device with virtually no support at all in a niche market. Despite no support and mediocre (still very good though), they did good for a "small" company.

I don't know if they were ever big in the gaming space. I considered buying one of their devices as a Mini Laptop / Working device. I think they are stronger in that space. But maybe I'm wrong.
For that type of thing I would still prefer one of their devices because they have a keyboard.
But now with that behaviour, I will not consider them anymore, there are alternatives.

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääThis looks like a game that could easily be ported nowadays to Linux native..

You can't tell that by how it looks. If they have an old engine relying heavily on the Win32 API then it's probably harder then a new game which's engine supports Linux ootb.

Nice, have played Ys VIII and found it very good. So this Game might be the next, hopefully also on the Steam Deck then.

At first I was shocked but a second later, I don't care. Haven't played any of their games the last couple of years. Indies amaze me much more atm.

But I still hope Microsoft continues publishing Games to Steam.

Nice! I would buy it on Steam if I hadn't it for my Playstation 5 already. And sometimes I have to say, no tweaking at all and just enjoying is something nice, especially with this very nice game.

Quoting: F.UltraOr rather, not being able to uninstall the desktop would of course work but then we no longer can uninstall the desktop which removes the power that Linux gives you.

I agree, but in Linux we have the freedom to choose whichever distribution we like. But distributions focused on average users should be "non-breakable" and thus maybe even limit your freedom. Personally I wouldn't like to use such a distribution but I would recommend such a distribution for the average user.
