Quoting: andy155Valve reduces the size of the Steam Deck client in the latest update? Honestly but who cares? You really exaggerate with the deck news.On top of that; it's a fairly useless optimisation as long as the primary mode of installing non-steam software is using those bloated packages.

I think that this messy handling rather demonstrates that, as I mentioned at other news items, this "verified" software stuff is not clear enough as to where support responsibility lies. Valve's handling gives the impression that "verified" software will be supported by the devs, whilst there is no such guarantee from them.
Time for a simple extra filter, Supports Deck or somesuch, to indicate that the dev commits to providing full support for running the game in question on the deck.

You forgot the important number: 233 linux items, according to the website's filter.
Some more highlights:
Bleed
Bleed 2
They bleed pixels
Super Hexagon
Hidden Folks (really love the dev of this game, thanks to the stance on dlc)

Don't standard network shares work out of the box?
I've always accessed other other pc's (both windows and linux) shared folders/files through the dolphin file manager. Point n click and no extra installs on both sides with the extra advantage of it being the standard way of network sharing on windows.

Not a fan of the way the os seems to favour flatpacks/appimages for software that should be included in the distro natively.
It adds bloat to a resource constrained system that should not be there.

... microtransactions ...No.
Do you think Albion Online is a title you might play on Deck?

I'd be interested to see how the experience would be if one were to run native linux only.
How easy is it to filter for that? Would restricting oneself to native reduce compatibility problems, performance, and/or battery life compared to restricting oneself to verified and playable?

For someone who pretends to be doing stuff "for the good of the industry", Sweeney is displaying a remarkably short-sighted stance.
What is the point of "breaking the steam monopoly" if you are going to concede the underlying OS to an even bigger competitor that has a proven track record of monopoly abuse?

Got AI War 2 (native linux).
Never got around to playing the first one, hope I'll find the time to play this new and improved one.
Rogue-lite fans may want to grab Starward Rogue by the same dev (Arcen Games). It's silly cheap at the moment.

What's really needed is not this half-behinded "we think it'll run fine"-label, but a list of games that have a true commitment to *full* support, either by valve or the devs of the game in question.
This is especially important in the case of the games that are running via proton, since those have the biggest potential of valve and the devs pointing to each other when you need something fixed.
