To be honest, I never quite liked that oversaturation of purple everywhere. It could be worse though they could have chosen pink, who knows perhaps they wanted to.

Initially I was excited about the opening opportunities for Linux, but after reading about how you can install other OSes and numerous posts in the Steam forums about removing Linux and installing Windoze 11 because "Linux sucks" by illiterate and ignorant people and trolls (kids and teenagers and even older people don't know about the filthy tactics M$ has used to become a monopoly, nor do they care about it and can't be "ethically moved"), I'm a bit sceptical about Steam Deck's impact on Linux gaming. I think it should have been a locked Linux-only system in order to force more devs actively supporting Linux and to end Epic's chinese lame exclusivity practices. Now Swiney chinese frontman and his shills like pc-gamer are happy about how everybody will use his Store instead, on a foreign system probably running Windoze, (another happy company about it that sees no real threat again), will continue his predator tactics further canibalizing the PC market and devs won't have any reason thinking about Linux or not going to that store since their game will be playable through Steam's Deck. In short terms Valve also benefits from it as people will buy their handheld, but in the long run nothing will change for Linux or it will change so slow again that is going to be neglectable. I think Steam Deck could have been one of the most impactful opportunities for Linux to finally massively break through, one of those rare moments in history which can change the world, but Linux will miss it because Valve decided to do such a compromise that will shoot back.

This is absolutely perfect. It will drive more developers support Linux natively and at least with Proton and it instantly kills Epic S*** Store exclusivity. A great move by a great company.

Phone UI got a horizontal workspaces update? Wow let's celebrate like Mac hipsters :P Do you still have to go your mouse pointer to the top left to activate the dock that is put at the bottom now (even bigger distance) in order to be able to click your damn program icon so that you can eventually get it opened like you instantly wanted but you couldn't? :D

It's damn Croteam, let's hope they will return to their good days of exceptional Linux & Vulkan support that they lost with Serious Sam 4. (and bring native Linux support to SS4 ofc...)

Indeed it is a stellar experience, it evokes so many feelings I have long missed from games.
