Quoting: satorideponDon't forget SteamOS long-standing issue with increasing storage consumption due to Proton prefixes, shader caches
Wasn't this fixed already? Caches are much smaller now and you can even delete the ones you're not using.
A. Performance isn't something something you "fix" it's something you improve. Proton will always take on more space than no Proton and always be slower than no Proton. It's why it's such a shock when it manages to outperform native Windows in some contexts. Many people use Windows as the zero line, where everything faster than Windows is "good" and everything slower is "bad".
I wasnt talking about performance, I was talking about cache sizes. The OP mentioned an issue where cache sizes would bloat and stay on the Steam Deck for a long period of time. I thought that issue got resolved in a recent SteamOS update.

League of Legends likely unplayable on Linux / Steam Deck soon due to Vanguard anti-cheat
12 Jan 2024 at 10:59 am UTC

Quoting: dubigrasuHow good is Vanguard compared with other AC software out there? Is that efficient on Valorant?
If you're talking about performance, Valorant runs fine with it on.

If you're talking about security, you can circumvent the anti-virus (and most other kernel-level software) with a Windows VM.

8 players?? How does that work? Is it battles only for online multiplayer?

Quoting: ElectricPrismStill trying to figure out what to play -- DOOM? Apex Legends? Split Gate? Maybe MCC?

Edit 2: I'm also looking for a good racer, LAN PvP -- unfortunately Garfield Kart and Super Indie Kart are not LAN AFAIR :(
You can search for the games on Steam for LAN Coop.

SteamOS 3.5.7 released, plus Steam Deck Client update and Power LED changes coming

Quoting: RonnieDueceNo mention of the GPU 200/1040Mhz bug. Guessing Valve still hasn't ironed that one out.
I thought that got fixed in a recent Beta update and then was ported to Stable?

Valve gives Steam a nice upgrade for controller-friendly games
22 Nov 2023 at 9:49 pm UTC

Quoting: CatKillerTechnically it already does: if a developer uses Steam Input for their input handling the game can automatically get whichever glyphs are appropriate for whichever controller is being used, provided it's a controller that Steam knows about (which is all the major ones).
True, but that's only for games with Steam Input. Sadly, it isn't widely used and I wish that Steam would implement an official feature to replace controller textures.

I use my PlayStation controller whenever my Steam Deck is plugged in, mainly because it comes with gyro and I have a PS4 anyway. I wish Steam could implement a feature that automatically replaced the Xbox controller textures with PS4 glyphs. But I can understand how much of a nightmare that would be to implement.

How well does it work on the Steam Deck? I know that you can't use it in Gaming Mode but I do still want to know.
