Quoting: Lib-Instlinux needs actual real native games and more people will come. emulation isnt ideal.
That has quite literally nothing to do with it. The average gamer doesn't give a single crap about the game being native or not. Why should they? If they click play and it runs, that's all people really need. This argument has been done to death by now.

Certain Steam Deck plugins via Decky Loader are causing bootloops

Quoting: TrainDocThanks for getting the word out Liam! I've been busy with work and life stuff so stuff has gotten mixed up. To those wondering, we're currently working on an MOTD feature to allow us to better notify users of issues with plugins and we're working on delisting broken plugins.
As of the most recent pre-release of Decky, v3.0.0-pre7, we now have a screen and logic that catches these loops and stops decky and should allow you to find and remove any of the effected plugins. We also have future plans to ensure plugins are easier to report as broken but we don't have anything concrete in that regard yet. Have a lovely week everyone.
That all sounds great, nice work :)

Quoting: GetBeanedYeah, audio is busted for me too, and this is using Lutris. Weirdly, if I run it with Proton 9, the audio is fixed, but I get no visual output at all.
Huh, that's something at least, might help someone find the issue.

Quoting: robvvThe game does look good, with an interesting concept. However, the graphics scream Unity3D at me which can be a bit hit-and-miss performance-wise on Linux. Still, will certainly check this game out!
I don't really understand the comment: how does it look Unity3D...that's just a game engine?

Update: The London team fixed the zip downgrader on Nexus, and I've added some notes on the Heroic install for GOG. Currently audio seems a bit broken.

Quoting: missingnoOnly two native titles in this whole list, can't help feeling like that's a sad sign of the times today.
Well, it's a Steam Deck advertised bundle, not a Linux-specific bundle. Plus, Proton is awesome.
