Whatever happened to the statistics on this website? Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find the option anymore... Ditto for the forums.

What's the current most annoying issue you want to see solved on Steam?
The lack of big-name, online multiplayer games.

I love my Steam Deck and it has quickly become my main "console" - but if the Steam Deck is ever going to compete with "The Big Three" (Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony) directly or make real headway in market share, they need to either find a way to get the majority of online multiplayer games working, or find a way to convince developers to actually support Linux-based operating systems.

It's a shame this game is not working on the Steam Deck, because it actually looks pretty good!

Stellar Blade to be optimized for the Steam Deck and other "UMPC environments"

UMPC is the actual category name for Handheld PC?
Anyone else here old enough to remember what a UMPC and Handheld PC used to be? :grin:

Team Fortress 2 Legacy (not to be confused with Team Fortress 2 Classic) is coming to Steam

This is supposed to be Valve's version of 'Fortnite: Battle Royale', isn't it?

Or is it completely different?

At this price, I'll wait until they add Linux support or there's a generous sale on... Granted, it's not ultra-expensive; but it's more than I'd like to pay for a Windows-only game.

SteamVR Beta 2.10.2 released with a Linux VR fix and a controller and physics improvement

Wait, SteamVR supports Linux-based operating systems now? I thought it was just a Windows thing!

I might have to pull out my PlayStation VR2 and see if I can connect it somehow... It uses USB Type-C, after all.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered devs aiming for "best possible experience on handheld gaming devices"

Meh.

All I want is The Last of Us: Factions MP on my Steam Deck... I'm already up to 10,000+ hours on my 'PlayStation' consoles; but I'd be stoked if I could play this on my Steam Deck.

As Epic Games continue ignoring Linux / Steam Deck for Fortnite they're putting it on Windows Arm

the only real solution for that is verified boot with a signature whitelist. that would mean you can only play on popular distros with one of their official kernels
The easy solution is to have two boot modes for the Steam Deck - one as it is now, and one with a "secured" environment... If you want to play online games, just switch to the "secured" environment.

It wouldn't be enough to get Fortnite on SteamOS - Epic Games clearly have a problem with Linux itself rather than a the occasional cheater - but it would convince a lot more other developers to come across.
