Quoting: undeadbydawnIs there any possibility of having separate section of the site for Steam Deck? Or even - deep breath time - a SteamDeck specific site

There's a tag system, use it. If you don't want to see Steam Deck news at all you can:
- Add it as a blocked tag in your settings.

Awesome. Obviously was not aware of this and will use it.
Thanks for the [legit very] helpful response

Ok.
In full awareness that this may not go down at all well, a request/suggestion:

Yes, the Deck is easily the most important thing that's happened in Linux gaming... but far too much of that news is of little to no interest to desktop users, and it's starting to dominate the news feed.

The YouTube page is now almost exclusively Deck news, and would really prefer to avoid that happening here too.

[Also recently requested the option to turn off/filter Deck reviews on ProtonDB, since having to scroll down multiple pages of them to get to desktop info is now extremely irritating]

Dear devs:
Please stop with the card games.
Really, seriously, sincerely. The only thing that kills interest more rapidly than 'card based' is NFTs

Currently sitting on 299.1 hours played and 100% achievements. This DLC looks amazing
It is completely ridiculous that VS isn't on the Game Awards GOTY contender list.

The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2023

Mint is greatly preferable to Ubuntu. It has an interface that doesn't suck, is loaded with sane defaults, and maintained by some of the best people in the Linux world.

I say this as an Arch user.

Mint is the only distro I'd recommend to brand new Linux gamers.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.5.0 is out with Downloads Manager, App Sideloading

I managed to get one game sideloaded into Steam. Which then wouldn't launch. Two other games refused to side-load at all.
So.. work in progress.
