That's nice and all, but Vulkan on the Dolphin Flatpak has been broken for the past several months. Trying to use Vulkan just brings up a "failed to initialize video backend" and "failed to create Vulkan instance" dialog.

Here, you can take a look at mine. Nothing remarkable.

Sadly, it pulled too early, because I've been playing Mass Effect 2 on Legendary Edition pretty much non-stop since last week. It would've ranked higher.

I wish Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't so prominent. I didn't hate the game, but I didn't love it either. Yet, I put enough hours into it that it gets a spotlight. Ah well.

Oh, one last addendum to mine; don't expect RetroArch to go up again. I ran into problems with the RetroArch Flatpak back in Late Spring, and used the Steam version for a while; hence the playtime. Nowadays, I run the Flatpak again. The Steam version still lacks the melonDS core, which is the only core I use for DS games.

I only use Plasma these days, but I still love Xfce. Cool beans.

I would recommend a flavor like Kubuntu over Ubuntu, especially for a new user. Plasma is going to look more "sane" than GNOME, which is something I can attest to from back when I first tried Linux.

Thanks for this. I'll start donating.

I'm not a fan of AppImage, personally. They're arguably more portable than Flatpak, but they lack Flatpak's sandboxing. The only AppImage I use is for Balena Etcher, because there's not Flatpak available.

Wait, Tesla? Tesla cars have AMD GPUs in them?

Since I no longer have a problem with using Google software and services, I've thought about getting a Chromebook to try out. I have a Nokia Android tablet that I like, and I'm interested in buying Google's Pixel Tablet whenever it comes out. But maybe a Chromebook might work better for what I use my tablet for. I have a T440p ThinkPad that I like, but that's not something I consider portable. It also can't run Android apps.

All that being said, making Steam available on more platforms can only be a good thing, in my opinion.

I haven't used Windows on any of my devices in over two years. Hopefully, Valve continues boosting and improving Linux gaming; and I can continue staying away from Windows.
