Tech companies continue to make dubious modifications to their programs overtime. Just for the sake of "new features".

Nice to see various distros of Linux continuing to grow in usage on Steam.

Looking forward to this update hitting my current distro.

This is just further proof of the power of Linux. Thanks again Valve.

This is definitely a move that will help give this game and possibly other titles that run their Snowdrop Engine(like the Division series)working and/or improved performance on the Steam Deck. Thankfully for us Linux desktop players we get the added bonus of this title working on our machines as well. Especially with the current issues that Ubisoft Connect has on Linux. This might actually get me playing more of their games through Steam.

Sitting on the fence with this one. Performance is trash currently and hopefully will improve over time. I'll pull the trigger when/if it does.

Very nice move, Nintendo. Progress is always a good thing.

So clearly people forgot the days when the vast majority of currently released games didn't work on Linux. I'm old enough to remember when Nvidia was considered evil by Linus himself LOL. Which was the GPU I had at the beginning of my Linux journey. Thanks to development of WINE/Proton Steam, programs like Lutris, Bottles, ProtonUp, and ultimately Valve and the Linux foundation, do we have the options today that allow us to plug and play most titles. I maintain 2 builds ironically to not throw out old hardware. Nice to see so many gamers don't care about ewaste.

My sons get the secondary Windows 10 build. I only use it to test upcoming releases. Though I started them out on the Raspberry PI 3 and 4 to learn the basics of computing and Linux. I also have alpha and beta tested some of your favorite games prior to release over the years. Which sadly is all done almost 100% on Windows. If we're being honest about that fact. Especially multiplayer online only games, like MMOs. Never been a fan of dual booting due to various issues, and bugs.

The Steam Deck(which I also game on)itself has helped Linux organically grow in gaming circles, but only because Linux doesn't get in the way with the gaming part. Proton has reached a critical mass where the vast majority of games work out of the box. Anti-cheats collectively finally have support(not all). My daily driver is desktop Linux, but I'd have to forgo testing your next upcoming game if I went 100% with Linux regarding all things gaming. To be fair it's not like the devs listen to many of us anymore. Though I'll gladly still take their money, and free games LOL. Your mileage may vary.
