I'm glad you ended up using a good distro!, although I am not a fan of Fedora, mostly because of the pkg manager, I respect it a lot and coming from the Red Hat guys, I know it has certain... very refined elements.
But for me the most important thing is that you didn't end up using Ubuntu, that is, modern Ubuntu. Even until Ubuntu 22 I would say things were fine (I use it as my main model for most of my docker servers), but go a LTS version more after that one, and you are beginning to see the crumble ground. It's a shame.

I assume this has nothing to do with DirectX12 Ultimate games, like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, right?

There's literally a 5 hours free trial and you get invited by a friend to try the game with friend pass.
And as mentioned if you bought it on steam, you can always refund it.

I was not aware on The Crew Motorfest, as I said, I have seen very little about the game. Thanks, I'm gonna give it a try, seems to be in that sweet spot of semi arcade semi simulation.

I have a question, how good is this game in terms of... NFS, Dirt or even Forza Horizon series? I have seen very little footage of it and I wonder why AAA companies stopped having demos like most indies.

Wow, I just began playing FFXIII 2 days ago, could it be the same day the rolled the fix? I remember reading it needed all kind of fixes to run, even a third party mod, but other people commenting it ran out of the box for them, as always, nothing for sure, but because it was so cheap and it's such an iconic game for me, and yes, it's really really good, both the story and the gameplay, the later after 2-3 hours into the game.

While I have no problem with Flatpaks (in contrast with Snaps, which I really really dislike), I think we as a community shouldn't rely too much neither of them; also, as a sysadmin for decades, and gamedev on the side, I'm a advocate of ImgApp, it's less convenient in some scenarios, but it's also a lot more straightforward. Last time I checked, only OpenSuse came with it out of the box, while flatpak and snap... is everywhere now.

Quoting: EikeSecondary gaming device? :-D
Or, deserved by it's importance, "owning Steam Deck [ ] yes [ ] no"?

What is the information that adds if somebody owns a Steam Deck or not? I understand the importance of the device for gaming since it's powered by a fork of Arch by Valve, and it has helped a lot the advance of software like Proton, Wine, the refinement of Vulkan and OpenGL, developers taking more seriously Linux, etc. but I have been following GamingOnLinux for years since the days the site was not popular as it is right now, and nowadays it feels each day that passes, more and more of the news of the site, ignores, or heavily prioritizes, all SteamDeck related, getting for me to the point it feels more GamingOnSteamdeck rather than GamingOnLinux.
The site is beginning to prioritize the SteamDeck more and more each day it passes, and because the staff and specially Liam can stay up only so much time, I know the site it's ignoring (or giving a lot less priority) to what's happening on the gaming on Linux desktop experience (which it's much more diverse and more complex, therefore it would benefit a lot more being covered... that was what attracted me in the first place at least).

I'm trying to be objective here, just remembering the GoL from 2 years ago compared to what is it now. A balance of news on both fronts would be the best option, but I also know it could be too much work.

I know most people won't like my comment but being able to discuss things like this are a key point in the open source world community.

What I really don't like is that they disabled the option to launch the Steam client with the --no-browser option if using the beta... that was a life saver for me for some games given I have an "old" Geforce GT 1300 (which I bought new last year)

Looks like a proper "Vampire Savior" genre gamer, I don't know if I'll get it because, as you said, there are already several games of this style, and I think I found my favorite one a month ago or so, 20 Minutes Till Dawn (with 10 Minutes Till Dawn free demo, the 10 minutes are for the runs in the game).
There's even a Holocure made of the same style because of the incredibly rise of vtubers.
