Quoting: SlipAJimmyAny word on PUBG, Warzone, Apex or any other BR playability?Nope. If there was, we would be shouting it from the rooftops. Only hints of Apex on SteamDB but nothing solid.

Quoting: SalvatosIt's on the list :), expect that one likely by end of next week - hopefully.Feel free to let me know in the comments what other types of Steam Deck content you want to see!Besides everything that was already covered here, I'm very curious about the desktop software experience (common stuff like Firefox, Thunderbird, Discord, LibreOffice, any music library...) with regards to usability with the on-screen keyboard and/or an external setup (monitor + inputs) and battery life and responsiveness with multiple of this kind of software running concurrently.
I'm not considering the Deck as a desktop replacement, but maybe as a laptop replacement.

Quoting: Alm888I'll be blunt, we're not a Windows website and I have no plans for Windows coverage - Deck or not.Quoting: Liam DaweWell, you, as a Linux user, would probably not want to touch Windows. But, as you've stated, this Steam Deck is not aimed at Linux users. It is made for ordinary people. And after all those people find out only 700+ of games from the entire Steam library are actually playable (and most, I assume, would not dare purchase a game blindly without that precious "Verified" badge), I believe, "How to Fix Deck and Install Windows 11" will be the most popular question.Quoting: Alm888No SteamOS vs. Windows benchmarks. What a pity. :(Windows isn't ready. Last I was told by Valve the drivers are not out yet. That's if I even wanted to touch Windows with it.
I kinda want to know how this "SteamOS" fares against an established gaming OS with games made first and foremost for said OS.
What these people are to expect? How difficult is Windows installation process? Does Deck have the required TPM chip?
After all, Valve has promised one will be able to install Windows and play all the games (because, again, according to Valve Steam Deck is just an ordinary PC).

Quoting: GuestIf i've not missed it, what's the boot time from powered-off to the library?You can see that in the first video in the article.

Quoting: MortalhysCan someone please explain to me where you have to "right click" on Proton to select a beta version? I pretty much right clicked on every Proton that exists in Steam and I was nowhere able to select a Proton beta.Sorry I missed a step. You have to go to Properties after right click on Proton Experimental, same way you opt into a Beta for anything on Steam.

Quoting: EssemI'm kind of confused in regards to how it was verified when the game doesn't seem to work out of the box.Verified for Deck, which is different to all the distros on desktop.

Quoting: ridgeWhat's blocking SteamVR on Linux for me is not being able to, with an official first-party method, toggle my lighthouses power state via Bluetooth. But I'm crossing my fingers for a solution one day.I found the Android app is pretty much perfect for it.

Quoting: EikeDo we already no if "recommended_runtime: proton-stable" would result in ordinary Linux PCs using Proton by default as well?Nope, this is all Deck specific stuff.
