Kudos to the team from "Gaming Linux FR" discord server (a French Linux gaming community) who made the initial request to Ubuntu.

I hope they thought about the Steam Deck integration even if they are not releasing on Steam yet.

System76 are making very cool hardware and software. If only they had a local retailer here in Europe, I would buy their stuff but with import taxes it's totally overpriced.

I also recommend Prey which is a great immersive sim shooter.

GE-Proton 7-53 is out now fixing up Star Citizen, Diablo IV and more

Quoting: rustybroomhandleProton Experimental also now has the Diablo IV fixes, as tweeted by Pierre-Loup Griffais. Very intereting public confirmation of Valve supporting non-Steam titles.
I haven't been able to run Diablo IV beta on my PC for now.
Even using Lutris with the right Wine-GE version or Steam with any Proton version the game just crashes and seems to not love my Nvidia card.

On the Steam Deck though it works, but even there it's not flawless. Sometimes the game slows down and even crashes SteamOS (the Deck reboots) which is something I've never experienced before with any other game.

Nice, I didn't expect that so soon.

That's very good numbers. I'm looking forward for January numbers early next year, now the Deck starts shipping in Japan, that should be very interesting :)

A lot of people were clearly waiting on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

I currently have a jsaux, but I will order the Valve one. I'm not happy with Jsaux's design and the fact it blocks a little bit the Deck's air inlet.

The upgraded ivoler Steam Deck Docking Station is another good choice

At least this one does not obstruct the ventilation.
