Quoting: hardpenguinWoah! I did not expect that, all existing ProtonDB reports said it doesn't work. Thanks for sharing it, I am definitely gonna try it (and possibly report back to ProtonDB).
ProtonDB reports are 4 months old, plus ProtonDB seem to do some sort of approvals process as new comments take about a day or so to appear. Not that their process is actually any good, since people comment with all sorts of launch commands that do nothing (and sometimes don't even exist...). ProtonDB is a good resource, but only when used correctly.

Quoting: MattscreativeThis article is just not true at all what so ever.
Thanks for the laugh. But this type of over-the-top comment is exactly why such an article exists. Suggesting a small distro, with a small team, that builds on top of a rolling distro...just, no. This is not what should ever be suggested to normal users.

Quoting: fagnerlnTo be the best distro for gaming, it should have support to the major "gaming tools" available, I installed Kubuntu 24.04 on my laptop and had issues trying to compile gamescope, I gave up.

But it's a decent choice for everyday usage, I'm not fan of KDE but the implementation on Kubuntu is solid, Snaps works fine (I almost forgot that Firefox was as Snap, as it worked seemly), and you can install the "non-snap" Steam easily.
Again, normal users are not going to manually look to install and run gamescope. People that reply to these types of articles keep thinking like their power-user stuff applies to everyone. Most people wouldn't have even heard of gamescope.

Prime Gaming December 3rd edition, new titles coming twice this week - lots for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: PyrateMan, this is a ridiculously good deal. I should look into if I can get away with a free trial and cop all these goodies on the way out.
Honestly yeah, Prime Gaming is a fantastic deal since all the games you redeem to keep. Even if you do it for a single month, it's ridiculously good value.
