Xenonauts 2 is looking good on desktop Linux and Steam Deck

This is a Early Access game so quite unfinished despite being in development for a VERY long time ( I think 8yrs )

Additionally its just a repaint in 3d of the original not a sequel. I'll pick it up when it releases and is %50 off.

still waiting for support for my rzr blackwidow pro 3.

Well it shows but not off shared wireless dongle and also RGB doesn't change.

Scaling is hard to get right when everyone uses a completely different window backend. In saying that they should get it right for each of the major desktop engines like XFCE/GNOME/PLASMA/CINAMON etc... It's important to keep in mind that Linux desktop is going through a revolution phase atm so things are changing so old was stop working.

The SD here in Australia can be had for a large mark up with no warranty because their all imports.

Other companies are directly selling their handhelds in AU/NZ to customers, I don't really know whats going on with Valve since everyone around us can buy them.

If it's only available via their windows and xbox exclusive store then yeah, no linux forever.

notice that drag/click zones are not functioning correct, seems that should be fixed some time for sanity reasons.
