...and then do it all over again whenever there's a new major release of Proton.

Well, they shouldn't need to. New Proton versions shouldn't break any games, at all, as each update is supposed to be expanding and improving the translation. The reality is different of course but the other side is also that games can be set to specific Proton versions so they will likely do that for a number of games. It *should* technically get to a point where breakage isn't an issue, and if it is there will be a point where breakage in Proton / Wine is breakage on Windows. There's a lot of points to think on.

Verified games should be kept on the Proton version they were verified with. The only case Proton should be updated for those is if the game gets patched and it no longer works.

Or perhaps when Linux gets updated so much a given Proton version no longer works period, but that should be rather rare.

Newer versions of Proton have and will break games that used to work before.

Well, the SD comes with a case so it's a case of not being satisfied with that and looking around for something else.

I have 2 cases from Waterfield and they're very nice. I wish I'd got their PSVita case as well, they no longer make that, unfortunately. :-(

It looks like Mr Sweeney just doesn't want Fortnite on the Steam Deck. He's got enough players on other platforms and it weakens a competitor, so it's all good for him.

IDK if and how much he knows about Linux, but it looks like he's just throwing random things out there as an explanation why his company won't do something hoping they get repeated all over and the more people he convinces the Steam Deck is not for them the better for him.

If someone installs Windows on it they become just another Windows user Epic have to do nothing more to support. And that is that.

He doesn’t have to support all the various kernel configs, just the official SD one. Isn’t that what the chain of trust is for? Detect signed software and work, don’t and don’t.

Oh yes. Q2 for me, hopefully April 1st ;-)

Quoting: damarrinI don't think Mr Yoshida knows what Linux is, much less that the SD is running it.

So? That's a good thing, people don't actually need to know. That will go to show exactly how well it works as a gaming device. It actually makes it easier to have "the Linux talk" if they already like it ;)

You are obviously right.

I really hope I'm wrong.

The price is a problem, then.

Windows is “not free” so even if prices were the same, customers would see value in getting something that costs money as the Windows license could come in handy, even if they were planning to install Linux.

Few will buy the Linux version and it’ll be discontinued citing lack of customer interest.
