Quoting: neffoAre all those steps still required for OpenMW on Steamdeck?
Luxtorpeda from the linked guide is still the easiest way to do it.

Quoting: neon_soaked_chryssalidIt wouldn't surprise me to find out that a good many of the other tech news websites do the exact thing, but do a few searches prior to publishing. Which is why I come here to get news!
They do actually, there's been lots of news floating around about a few of the bigger publishers who own multiple sites starting to put out AI articles.

Be sure to go follow GamingOnLinux on YouTube! The channel recently hit 40K!
I've been subscribed for a while, but I was just wondering if there's an easy way to know if there'll be a GOL stream coming up? YouTube's system isn't enough, so I always seem to miss them! :shock:
I usually announce it via Discord [External Link] and all the other social networks I'm on like Mastodon [External Link] and Twitter [External Link]. No set schedule for livestreams as I'm not a big fan of doing them so they're just as and when really. But there's a dedicated channel for it in the Discord.

Finally. One less extra launcher to become a nuisance?
Yeah... I hate to break it to you mate but... Have you seen EA, UBISOFT and all the other games on Steam from companies that have their own Launcher? If any, I'd say it's going to be "one more extra launcher to deal with on every stupid update they do" (looking at you, Ubisoft and EA).
Oh yeah, there's that side of it, but with it all being on Steam it's more about less steps and hassle to manually set them up as they will just come with the Steam release. It's not perfect but still far better to be all in one download just clicking on Steam :)

They are quite literally nothing alike. They have completely different styles of play.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished they show this on the Store page, so when I tempted to buy a game that does not have a native Linux port (I may or may not had broken a promise...), I don't need to refund it later because it doesn't work on Proton.
They've listed this on the store page for a long time. It's down the right hand side.
For some reason Valve decided not to show that information to users in countries where the Deck isn't officially sold. Is M@GOid in one of those countries?
Huh really? First I've heard of that. In a way it makes sense but it's probably more work to do that than just show it for everyone and people who can't get it / not bothered just ignore it.

Quoting: marinegeek23Liam - What are you using for you system info banner at the top of the screen? I've not seen it before but it looks like it could be Conky. If it is - can you share your script? Thanks!
It's just MangoHud [External Link] with the horizontal style, customized to add / remove what I want :)
