Manmade509: With Epic Games, I don't have that problem at all. I can simply download and play via Minigalaxy, legendary or HGL for example.Indeed.

This gadget looks kinda neat, and 20 years ago carefree me would have bought this and then started looking for a use for it! However, I have to say that the webscreen website is horrible: a triumph of flashiness over functionality.

Whilst I certainly agree with using KDE Plasma, my choice of OS has been OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for quite a long time, due to its stability and Nvidia support.

"'Sorry but if we can't install a rootkit on your system we can't allow you to play the game.'
Helpful?"
"Cannot play on Linux anymore"
"Removing steamdeck and linux support is the proper way to let the users hate much more EA and Respawn. I couldn't be more sad to see one of the best games die this way, first caring only about making money instead of fixing the game and now force people to use the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ OS that is windows."
"Suddenly I cannot play on Linux after many years. Why?"
