If you can spare some cash, don't forget to support the KDE devs. They're working tirelessly to bring us this amazing Desktop Environment completely for free and I think they deserve all the support :wub:

One of the developers shared some more info in the Steam comments.

Yes, there is going to be a Linux version. If it was ready, it would be out. It is not and it is decisively harder project than the mac version as it has far more tests and features. That is part of the reason why we tackled mac first. The other part is that every system that would be running Linux can right now already be tested by installing Windows dual boot, while Macs cannot really do that (well, you could have run iOS version, but it was decisively not optimal way to test the systems and it ran against platform vsync cap on high end macs).

I feel like some of us should bake a celebratory cake and tag @Steam and @ValveSoftware in a picture of it

But THE CAKE IS A LIE :wub:

In all seriousness though, 20K games is extremely impressive :grin: Remember that PS4 only had 3,500 games, and Nintendo Switch only has 6000 titles. Both consoles have existed far longer than the Steam Deck though

I checked it out during the closed technical test and I was really not impressed. I'm not going to buy the full game that's for sure

While 3DMark can run with Proton, the overall experience is very very broken… most likely because it's calling low-level Windows API that Wine does not implement. For starters, it doesn't even recognize your Steam purchases unless you fiddle with the wine registry. Then you have to disable systeminfo for it not to hang during a test. But this also means they show up as 'unknown GPU' and 'Unknown'.

It's literally the definition of 'Borked' right now:cry:

I already got stuck at the very first puzzle because i couldn't figure out how to put the mug back together… The game could go a long way in explaining its mechanics better ngl.

One thing that's important to remember is that cloud saves cannot (and should not) replace regular backups. For starters, some games only have a single save slot and if something happens to it (you die, bad decision, gets corrupt etc.) then the older one gets overwritten including in the cloud. But even for games without this limitation, you can run out of cloud storage space. It's actually happened to me several times now, in Jurassic World Evolution and Baldur's Gate 3. Also, if something really bad happens to all of these saves, Steam Cloud would still sync them and you'll lose everything.
Don't forget to make backups guys!

I always had the impression this was related to game recording and not the Steam overlay

Wow, how embarassing for Microsoft! Makes me wonder if the battery life on regular laptops could also be better with Linux installed? Perhaps x86 is not as power-hungry as everyone is always saying…

I'm certainly excited for more devices with SteamOS coming out:wub:
