I cannot agree more with this ex-Valve employee.
Stop the "game as a service" shit and give us back real and unforgettable solo games as you did before Valve!

Quoting: Mohandevir

perhaps it’s finally time for Valve to allow developers to officially list their games as supported via Proton for Linux-based platforms

... Forcing Devs to commit: "Do you support or not Proton and/or the Steam Deck" and create an easy to see filter, in the store pages for the devs that support Proton officially. Free advertising to these devs and make them first class citizens, above and before the Steam Deck verified program.

I think they could also incentive devs who commit to the Steam Deck with a special cut on their share. Let's say to the dev they have to do the Steam Deck testing on their own but they get the Steam cut lowered to 25% or 20% instead of 30%... That would surely boost Steam Deck and Linux support.

That's a nice piece of hardware at a reasonable price. I wish they would announce a new laptop based on the new Ryzen AI platform though (with Zen5 and RDNA3.5 based 880M).

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.

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.
