Nubs! Arena is a chaotic multiplayer brawler by ex-Awesomenauts devs, free for the first 24 hours

Nope, but since Proton 10 should be releasing sometime quite soon, and will end up being the new main stable default Proton, it makes sense to test on it for me.

Mesa 25.0.6 released with AMD GPU fixes for DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux
14 May 2025 at 7:24 pm UTC
It would end up in Mesa 25.1.1 but unclear actually when that will arrive, the Mesa release calendar currently seems to have the wrong dates currently. I think it will be May 21st.

Edit: spoke to Eric Engestrom (release manager) and the calendar has been corrected, so yep it’s due May 21st.

Valve announce SteamOS Compatibility ratings, an extension of Steam Deck Verified for more devices

Much like the point of Deck Verified itself, it's not specifically aimed at all of us that know exactly how to check and find info. It's for the more casuals to get a readout quickly at a glance if it will work :)
DOOM: The Dark Ages needs workarounds on Linux with AMD GPUs, a fix has been merged into Mesa

Nope, it specifically needs the part that adds in force_64k_sparse_alignment. You'll need new Mesa.
Steam Deck sales still going strong over three years later

Yes the user stats is gone. To repeat my previous comment:

The stats served their purpose, and people were steadily using it less and less over time that it just didn't really feel like it was relevant any more. I'll most likely run some dedicated stats for people over the years instead so people can still get a good look at what systems our readers are running.

Valve developers continue to impress, fixing Proton in less than a day for the Starfield Beta

Most of the fixes will affect any game that happens to hit the behaviour. However, Proton does have a few game-specific things it applies.
