That's enough. Please have a little respect for each other and don't act like children.

No need to wait on Valve, the Steam Deck Docking Station from JSAUX is great

Quoting: Wizard_of_WarYour image looks different from the back than the one on the sellers website.
In your image the dock is much lower in the back and thus not covering any part of the heat vents, while in the stock picture it seems to cover about 1/4 of the right four vents.
Which one is accurate?
I've looked and their image is fine and accurate, as of course is my actual photo. Angles can give a different look though and it all depends on exactly where you put it inside the dock. It really doesn't cover all that much of the vents but if it bothers you, it still works fine sat in the dock pushed all the way along to the right so they aren't covered at all but from the front it does look a bit odd then ;)

2) What about graphocs support? (HW accel 2D+3D)
Difficult to answer, since Arm isn't one thing.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP"Hatespeech" aka "someone was mean to me on the internet" aka "please protect me from different opinions voiced strongly" aka "I'm sure this will never be abused" aka "whatever those in power deem to be unacceptable at this point in time, to be changed later, this is totally not a slippery slope, trust us".
Mmm definitely don't agree there. Huge difference between mean text and hate speech and I think anyone with a bit of common sense can generally tell the difference. There's really no place for hate speech.

Wine manager app Bottles makes rolling back configs real easy

Wine is basic with no proper UI to manage anything. Proton only works properly with Steam, as that's how it's designed.

Lutris tries to do everything and the UI is pretty complicated to work with, plus updates have slowed on it quite a lot.

Bottles is a dedicated manager for installing and running apps with Wine. It helps you install and run various Windows launchers, games, apps and more.

They all have different targets.

Quoting: t3gYou worded it as Steam Deck, but what about desktop Linux?
As far as I am aware it’s mainly fixed up for AMD which I can only test on Deck, since my PC is NVIDIA.
