I tested the demo. It's a great game (if you like escape rooms). Probably I'll buy it

It seems old games. I think all were from dos. They probably will only put dosbox and republish.
But this is better than doing nothing.

AMD Radeon RX 6600 launches today aimed at high-refresh rates and 1080p

I guess I have to wait more. I needed a replacement for my geforce 660, but I guess nobody wants my money. I only buy if it had a reasonable price, but this is insane. Moreover nvidia had decided to cut the driver support (but hopefully it had a longterm support branch) for my card, without replacement on the price range that I get that (200-300€).
Next time I'll buy amd/ati, intel, or whatever has good opensource suport, even if it's not the best. I have no integrated gpu on my ryzen.

Looks like the important futex2 work is finally going into the Linux Kernel to help gaming

I like that you can change the joystick and it's modular. Hopefully will be cheap.
On the switch if the joystick goes bad (drifts), you have to buy another controller (I think). And it's expensive.
And well... If they say not to, people will be encouraged to do it.
As for the ssd, probably the coolers will be the slow ones. Well, it needs to be checked. Probably on reviews.
Anywhere does it say if accepts sata ssd or has to be pcie ssd?

Sadly I cannot update the specs (as likely many people). It's not that problem of shortage, as I know some places (online) that can be bought one. But the prices are to hight, 2x or 3x (or more) over a msrp that it's already over-expensive, it's to much for a casual linux gamer like me. It's insane.

RetroArch gets a Steam release bringing emulation to even more gamers

Hope it's a mistake. All dlc/emulators on the system requeriments says that needs windows.
If we have retroarch without cores, it's useless.

"such as ray tracing and Vulkan, are not currently supported."
I'm not english speaker, but here I understand that they not suport vulkan on linux? I thought that it did.
Probably they mean "ray tracing on vulkan".
But well... They should start supporting it, I think it works on nvidia and AMD PRO drivers, and mesa it's on the works.
Hope they enable it on the next version.

And what about unreal engine 5? What it's the linux state there? Hope they are good.

Valve has formally announced the Steam Deck, a portable handheld console with SteamOS

Quoting: scratchiThis looks great! But if they don't sell it through retail channels like Gamespot, ebworld, Bestbuy, etc., it won't turn the tide against consoles and Windows. Hopefully if online sales directly from Valve are successful, they'll sell these in brick and mortar stores too.
The ps5/ xbox ss sells "well" even if I never found one on retail.

Can I plug a big harddrive to the usb-c in order to play games? 512GB it's small for a gaming library.
If it can play well, it could be a good alternative between n-switch and ps4/5.
There is a gaming segment, if they do well.
