Overwatch 2 with Season 20 has some very annoying crash-bugs on Linux / SteamOS
10 Dec 2025 at 7:26 am UTC

Does anyone if it happens on DX11/DXVK only or is DX12/VKD3D impacted too? I've been playing on it for months and it's been really good, but I haven't run Season 20 yet.

The HDMI port has CEC. Why is no one talking about that 🤯 It is really tempting me to get on to put together with a TV.

EA Anti-Cheat arrives for Battlefield 1 breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux

4real the mofos are still on it.

I play FIFA, Madden, F1 and Dirt Rally 2.0 in local single/multi player mode only. I don't care for their bullshit achievements and online modes.

I would already buy their new games, but they seem to be focused on losing money.

Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming
15 Oct 2024 at 5:51 pm UTC

I'm still quietly hoping for a purpose-built actual console.

I could build a rig myself (which I'd actually enjoy), but I already know that the cost of something small enough would be way too high :woot:

ZOOM Platform store announces new tool to run Windows games on Linux with Proton

First time I'm hearing about ZOOM. Nevertheless, it's super awesome that independent platforms/stores have much lower threshold to building their own launchers. Especially now with UMU!
