If you really want to try it out, there are guides out there that show you how to use FSR4 on Linux but official support is still ongoing and making some progress. Here's one video that shows how to get FSR4 on Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajHRwWvem1M [External Link]

GeForce NOW on Steam Deck really can be a game-changer

I actually like using Geforce Now for games that can't run well on the Steam Deck because of performance or anti-cheat reasons. Also, before they came out with a native app, I set it up using the steps that many website were using at the time that relied on the browser to make it work.
When I have time, I'll have to try the native app when I have time to set it up and see how much better it is compared to the setup I was using.

THE FINALS to get new kernel-based anti-cheat, devs say it will still work on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck
4 Jul 2025 at 2:42 pm UTC
I hope it stays that way because the last thing any Linux/Steam Deck user wants is to get the rug pulled under them when the cheating gets overwhelming and they have to resort to using kernel anti-cheats on Linux/Steam Deck. For now, I like that they're still supportive of Linux/Steam Deck despite not officially developing for the platform.

They just won't be using kernel-mode on Linux, same as now, because it's just not a thing.@Liam Dawe

Search engines are getting worse, so OpenWebSearch funded by the European Union want to fix it

I'm skeptical of this project because they'll have a hard time convincing a lot of people to use it, even if it's good. This is like the situation we see today, where Bluesky is an alternative for X/Twitter but isn't gaining a lot of traction to pull away anyone that's already using X/Twitter.
Now, what I hope doesn't happen is that the search engine becomes policed like the UK laws that affected sites like GamingOnLinux, where forums were removed and links and replies were disabled.

Steam Deck / SteamOS hits 19,000 games rated Verified and Playable

Have you ever tried to run Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the Steam Deck? Sometimes, there are games listed as Unplayable that end up working fine and I've tried this on a couple of Unplayable games that I own on Steam.

So far only one of the games I'm interested in has been unplayable on Deck, and that is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions which was already kinda shoddy on my windows computer and probably just isn't fixed due to it being delisted. I hope someday proton happens to fix its issues by coincidence, but otherwise its been smooth sailing.@eev

Steam Deck sales still going strong over three years later

I'm happy to see that the Steam Deck continues to have strong sales after all these years and I hope they get to the point that they'll release Steam Deck 2 eventually.
Of course, the Switch 2 will more likely put a dent into the sales but then again, I'm not too bothered by it because the third party games they're now getting have been available on Steam for awhile or will simultaneously release day and date with the Switch 1 release and the cost of their games are $80, which I ain't paying that amount. Also, while it might not be the most powerful PC handheld, it still continues to play a lot of games well minus most of the major AAA UE5 games.

I didn't even know a game with the same name existed over 35 years ago but at least I recognize the name of the musician on the splash screen.

Those were the days when sports games didn't take themselves seriously and it's sad that we don't get a lot of games like NBA Jam anymore.

i miss the times when sport games were made for gamers, not for sport fans only@elmapul

SILENT HILL f gets rated Steam Deck Playable

Minimum requirement i58400 gtx1070 TI, hopefully I'm wrong but these looks like another 24fps slideshow on the steam deck.@on_en_a_gros
This is what was posted at the end of the requirements:
Additional Notes: Playing on minimum requirements should enable to play on Performance quality settings in 30 at 720p. SSD is recommended.This sounds like you'll have to use FSR/XeSS with low/medium settings to get it to run on 30 fps at 720p and the Steam Deck will probably have a bunch of spikes in performance, where it could be 24-30 fps at certain parts of the game.
