Quoting: x_wingOr just run this in the folder with the data to upload:

 
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5555

And open in the deck browser YOUR_HOST_IP:5555

or python -m http.server 5555 for when your system is defaulting to python3.

The point is to avoid the terminal for simple guides.

Edit: however, that's pretty cool! I'll add a note.

Quoting: CyborgZetaCan't you just connect the Deck to a PC using USB and transfer files that way?

Tried that, no dice.

Quoting: EikeDid I understand correctly that enabling developer mode (or something alike) would allow me to install KDEConnect easily? I love that little one.

Technically yes, but anything you do in developer mode can be and likely will be entirely overwritten by OS upgrades. Anything you do that you want to stick, should use Flatpaks or direct downloads for ease of use. Unless you want to get much more complicated.

Quoting: TermyMan, this reminds me again how upset i still am that prodeus dropped the perfectly working linux version - i want to play that game so bad (the demo was truly awesome), but i can't justify supporting such asshole-moves -.-

They haven't actually dropped anything. A demo is very different to a full game, often a quick export of a game at a very specific moment in development. It's still Early Access remember. Either way, works just fine in Proton and you know how it goes, might even be better than any native Unity export.

Update: Valve has formally addressed [External Link] the false negative verification reports in a new post:

If 99% of a game's functionality is accessible, but accessing one optional in-game minigame crashes, or one tutorial video doesn't render, that's Unsupported.

For now! This is by design: around the launch timeframe, we believed it was more valuable to prevent false positives ("this game is Verified but part of it doesn't work"), even at the cost of some appearance of false negatives ("this game is Unsupported but I didn't notice anything wrong with it"). Even with the current standards, at the rate both we and partners are making improvements, we expect you'll see many titles transition over the next few weeks from Playable, or even Unsupported, to Verified. We also expect our standards and thinking will adjust as we move farther from launch and get much more feedback from customers and developers.

Quoting: eldarionOnly time will tell. It's just that recently the news here looked too much as a Valve PR satalite then a Linux gaming news site. More about steam deck itself and less about actual games.

Take heart, then, because the Deck just launched, so this is the biggest it will ever be and the highest concentration of articles you'll ever see about it. As more and more people actually get their hands on one the cachet of exclusivity will wear off, and apart from some big articles I foresee in the future along the lines of "Epic Games caves and ports Fortnite to Linux due to demand from millions of Deck owners" it'll gradually fade into the background fabric of people's lives as everyone who wants one just…has one.

Exactly that. Over time it will slot into things alongside everything else as normal.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLIt not affect native Linux version but affect Steam Deck. StemDeck prefer: "recommended_runtime: proton-stable". So multiplayer on Deck should stop working too.

Did you read the article...?

Quoting: JpxeI really like that you report both desktop and deck separately like this, it's great

:) i think a similar format will do for all going forward, although i'll see about a way to make it prettier maybe.

Quoting: EhvisYou'd expect this to happen because the servers would be closed down. But if that was the case, then why would Linux no be affected? Is MP not shared with Windows for this one either and my just using Steam? Strange separation in any case.

Like a lot of Feral ports, multiplayer I believe was not cross-platform with Windows.

Seems the opposite is also true, as noted by Laura Kate Dale on Twitter [External Link] with a Verified game not working at all. Oh dear. Valve have to get this right and quickly.
