Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks

Recently a German YouTube channel made a video about handheld gaming desktops and articulated that they were all infuriatingly unusable. Windows being the reason. Naturally, the Steam Deck was the exception.
This channel of Gamers gaming (and editing etc.) on Windows made a point out of the Steam Deck being great because it uses Linux and the customizability that comes with that.

We truly have come far.

World of Goo 2 is out now with Native Linux support

Quoting: melkemindSo, I just tried it on my Steam Deck and got a missing libraries error, specifically libcurl-gnutls.so.4. On my desktop, running Manjaro, it started right up with no problem.
Yep, getting the appimage to run on the steam deck is annoying. I had to install libcurl-gnutls, which worked using pacman.
Then it wanted libssl 1.1, which pacman claims to have as a separate package, but would not let me install (target not found). Getting the package from arch repos results in it being compiled with the wrong compiler version, so I ended up manually downloading openssl-1.1 from the steam os repo and installing it directly from file with pacman. After that, World of Goo 2 worked.
(Don't try forcing it to run in some steam linux runtime though.)
Every time I get a non steam game I get pushed further to replacing steam os…

I am disappointed that someone decided to not strictly stick to Planetenverteidigungskannonenkommandant as the titel and introduced an acronym.

The game looks interesting though.

Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld to come with Manjaro Linux

If I was a decision maker I would not ship manjaro. A distro that $equires enduse$s to read the release notes will not go down well with people jslust buying a handheld.
But having trackpads is an excellent choice. This device looks like it solves th$ee of the reasons why I have not bought any steam deck competitors: No windows, yes Trackpads.
Should they now arrange for me suddenly not having a steam deck there will be questions.

The biggest thing might be the update to Plasma. Going from my Tumbleweed desktop to the Steam Deck desktop always feels like revisiting the past.

People are playing Age of Empires III?
I remember this being THE game a friend and I used to play, and even back then it was old. I have since learned that the internet seems to like Age of Empires II more, so that's why I'm surprised.
