So, compared to the Steam Deck this has higher specs (CPU/GPU, screen resolution screen refresh rate) and smaller form factor, but in return the Deck has better screen, likely better battery life, and I guess slightly lower cost.

I didn't even know that this game has multiplayer mode, and I don't expect many to be interested in multiplayer for such a game. For this game, I'm more concerned about how well the game will perform on a Steam Deck, given the AAA graphics.

If you pay for a game, it should not contain ads, period.
With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

Quoting: pilk
Quoting: sarmadWhat I think should be included is improved APU, memory, and screen, VRR, and just more anti-cheat compatibility.
I feel Valve has done pretty much everything they can for anticheat compatibility. The issues that remain are the Hall Of Shame (Epic, Riot, Electronic Arts, Roblox, Bungie, etc.) that refuse to make the AC work because of whatever excuse they made up that day.

Ultimately, I hope the day of rootkit anticheat ends soon. Kernel-level nonsense has been tried before, and it broke computers and eventually finally died. [External Link]
100%. I know it's not Valve's fault and it's really those Hall of Shame members, but Valve can probably do more to convince those companies to support Linux.

Late 2026 sounds like the right time for a Steam Deck 2.

Playtron give a bit more detail on the Linux-based PlaytronOS and their plans

It will be successful if they find a solution to the anti-cheat problem, but so far it doesn't sound like they are doing anything in this regard that Valve isn't also doing.
Slimbook reveal the upgraded Slimbook Fedora 2 with 14" and 16" models

Quoting: cameronboschFinally an option with an ANSI keyboard layout. Though it comes too late for me, as I already got a Framework Laptop 16...
How is the Framework laptop? Is the build quality good enough? I have a feeling that given it's customizable nature that it won't feel as sturdy as regular laptops.
Nova, a Rust-based Linux driver for NVIDIA GPUs announced

Quoting: nyanbinaryAMD Rust Driver when
Rust on its own is not enough reason to re-write the driver. Nova isn't being re-written just for the sake of writing it in Rust. If the AMD driver is already in good shape then it doesn't need to be re-written in Rust. Rust doesn't give the user any benefit, it only gives the developer the benefit of needing less effort to write good code, but that less efforts is still more efforts than not re-writing at all.

Nice to see such a heavy game working at 30fps on the Deck.
