Quoting: LinuxerThis type of cooperation and work to get a Linux port is a way to go. Thank you very much then!

Happy you saw this one! I asked for the port and tested it - works flawlessly.

You need to have your expectations set properly for the game: You're not going to save the world. No dragons, no princesses. You just need to grab your pants and get off to work. Cause... what could possibly go wrong?!? ;)

It's a nice little one.

SteamOS Plugin Manager should enable lots of fun on the Steam Deck

You don't even need to turn off the read-only filesystem to do it, and so changes made will be persistent too through OS upgrades.
I don't understand this - I'd guess not turning off read-only filesystem would make the changes non-persistent?

You think it's third millennium, but still half of the stuff breaks on an "ä" or even a " "... :cry:

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe launches April 27

The original Stanley Parable has got an achievement Go outside - Don't play The Stanley Parable for five years. Time to go for it now, I guess. (No, I don't want to cheat!) I think I already got those five years passed, but is there a way to check before I reset the counter without getting the achievement?
