Surprisingly, Valve rated Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced and Rainbow Six Siege as Steam Deck Playable

Yeah, I'm also not so sure the problem is with the rating system rather than the implementation of it. I have to wonder if Valve staff who do the ratings are just overworked and underpaid like so many other workers nowadays.
GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) version 3.0 is finally out now

I only do occasional image editing and don't hate Gimp, but I have to admit that some smaller projects or even web-based editors have become much quicker and easier alternatives for basic functions. If I want to remove the background from an image, an AI-powered app on my phone can literally do it in seconds while Gimp, last I checked, required several complicated steps.

Maybe it's still great for serious, advanced users, but for a filthy casual like me, I find myself using it less and less.

For those asking, it says "Starting with tomorrow's release" of Spider-Man 2, so one can assume that the changes will come into effect for other games at the same time.

I don't even use Bazzite on my desktop, but I use some of their very helpful scripts that make gaming setup easier. Overall, the Linux community is better because of them.

Any amount of effort, however minimal, is still infinity percent more effort than Valve has put into distributing their devices into places where you can't buy them.
This right here. SteamOS is presumably about to hit mainland China. That alone could quadruple the Linux install base.

For those of us who are Linux users of a certain age, this is like watching our babies grow up. :cry:

Quoting: tmtvlYet another machine without touchpads and with the left thumbstick and D-pad the wrong way around. Really makes me appreciate how good the Steam Deck is by comparison.
That square below the right stick looks like a tiny touchpad. I suppose it could be anything though.
