A review says...

Duplication glitch for infinite wine and fish still not patched. Took 3 days to respawn when i died.

I'll wait for His next work.

I don't like your tone.
I don't like when I can't play a game I paid for.
This is the part I totally understand.

I would also ask about Deus Ex Mankind Divided though. It shouldn't have Denuvo on Linux...

SteamOS 3.4 rolls out in Preview for the Steam Deck - it's a massive upgrade

Quoting: EikeHow do you press the mouse button on desktop mode with SD's own controls? I only know pressing the touchpad, which always makes the cursor move, especially with double clicks..
I changed mine so that clicks are on the triggers, and the left trackpad is scroll wheel. Controller setup in Steam in desktop mode is how you change it to whatever you want.
Ah, so I just change it like for a game? Thanks, will find my way around! What a bad default, though...

Steam Client Beta adds a new launch option for Big Picture Mode

Quoting: michaldybczakI'm confused. It doesn't work. I already use:

prime-run steam

in a launcher. So where do I put those arguments? I thought that the proper place would be at the end, but it doesn't make any difference (I am running Steam beta). So I tried it before steam, also no change. Before prime-run? That would make no sense, or maybe? I checked and... again no change...
Maybe this?
prime-run "steam -newbigpicture"

Fixed issue where Steam would be unable to connect in some cases after suspend/resume
That's my main happiness point with it! Often losing WiFi contact when resuming.

Surprising probably no one, most people use the Steam Deck as a handheld

Quoting: HohlraumOne metric I'd be curious about is how many people aren't using the SD controls themselves and instead opt for an external controller. I have hundreds of hours on my SD now and I'll bet I've spent less than 3 hrs total actually holding the thing. I would be perfectly happy if a tablet FF SD was released that relied entirely on external (or detachable) controls.
I own a Steam Controller, but didn't even try to connect it as I'm fully happy with the built-in controls.

Mind that your audience is special: Most of them already own a Linux gaming PC. I'm not saying that the result would be hugely different otherwise, but it might play a role in the outcome.

Comedy point and click adventure Plot of the Druid is now in Early Access

I wouldn't buy an adventure game in early access. Or at least, I wouldn't play it. (I made one exception for developers living in the Ukraine where I bought the game early on.) When I start such a game, I want to experience the full story.
