Looks like I will soon have to decide whether I actually want to collect every handheld gaming thingy that comes with linux out of the box…

I probably won't the steam deck is great. If they want to win me over they will have to make some pretty compelling arguments.

Quoting: LeflWhat differentiates this game from minecraft?

Or rather, why should I play this when the real Minecraft exists?
Not getting banned from playing multiplayer because someone "hacked" mojangs chat reporting system sounds like a great feature to me.

There also seems to be a significant focus on open source with minetest in general.

I saw the thumbnail and was immediately reminded of my childhood. This is definitely going to cost me some points at the university…

The steam deck is probably the only device that has work put into allowing users to make startup times slower. To me this shows that people do really care about their decks and the option to customize it.
We may see some of this excitement bring new users to linux in general. Let's hope.
Valve finally fixes up the Steam Deck on-screen keyboard some more

For me to uninstall onboard and exclusively use the steam keyboard in desktop mode one thing needs to happen: The layout should contain all the keys an actual keyboard of that layout has, including on other layers.
A keyboard without arrow up is not suitable for desktop use.

These fixes sound nice, though I never noticed anything wrong with the things they are mentioning.
Let's hope they keep working on the keyboard!

Well, this is ... interesting.
I personally would be thankful for coverage of Embracers future plans, when they ar€ made public, hope the team has that on their radar.

Also could this mean that we'll get a new Deus Ex?
Feral Interactive have no plans to update their Linux ports for Steam Deck
21 Feb 2022 at 10:00 pm UTC
All Feral is saying in that statement is that they currently don't have plans to specifically bring games that have already been released to steam deck, which is true for the vast majority of steam games for most publishers. Companies don't want to spent resources on something that probably won't make much money.

They are not saying that they won't optimize future ports for Steam Deck and they are also not saying that no game that has already been ported will ever receive attention for a better experience on the deck, there just aren't any plans for that currently.
