Cool, though if I'm not mistaken they're only referring to the device and not the OS... So they might want you to install Windows on your Deck 😅

Edit : article updated 👍

Proton Experimental adds fixes for GTA V Enhanced and more for Linux / Steam Deck

Does anyone know if this continues your saved game from Legacy (on Linux)?
I don't think that works, to get you save from Legacy to Enhanced is kind of a PITA :
You need to launch GTAV Legacy, go into a new menu to upload your save (It only works for a single one IIRC), then go into the corresponding menu in GTAV Enhanced to download it. Why R* can't pluck your saves from their own cloud is a mystery to me, surely it can't be more difficult than implementing this ridiculous menu.

No, this is only for speech synthesis. Voice recognition is still not supported in my experience.
Oh right I got those confused, thanks

Are people actually willing to add 10-15% to the price of their Deck just for some fancy buttons? Madness.
