Space Marine 2 fixes online for Steam Deck but may need launch option on desktop Linux
8 Oct 2024 at 4:07 pm UTC

Quoting: CatKillerIt's so weird that game devs do that, especially when there are fewer Deck users on Steam than non-Deck Linux users on Steam.

Deck users are significantly more active than PC users in general.

Devs using eBPF on Windows will not be fine using eBPF on Linux because on Linux you can go one level deeper than that: The Linux kernel. On Windows, cheaters punch through vulnerable drivers for kernel level execution, this is why Valorant's Vanguard blocked keyboard drivers and stuff.

The creator of Lutris has joined up with Playtron for PlaytronOS
9 Sep 2024 at 6:36 pm UTC

Quoting: nebadon2025what happens to all these projects that anchored themselves to it

I'm not optimistic about Playtron's feature but IMO devs can find more time to work on upstream projects while they (the devs) are under the Playtron umbrella and continue normally if/when Playtron goes under.
