Quoting: tuubiDid you read the rest of the article below the image?
Yes, the rest of the article doesn't say what to do to bring up that information from the webpage, only how to configure a browser to display it.
You're right. I assume it's the blue "Learn more" button under the STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITY header, visible in the background in the top right corner of Liam's shot of the new tablet mode.
How do you find that header/button?
Do exactly what it says under the picture in the article.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs there a way to "emulate" an Steam Deck on a Linux desktop?
Not yet. Not really anyway.

Quoting: EhvisI wonder which Mad Max was "verfied". Native standard, native vulkan-beta or proton.
Here:
https://steamdb.info/app/234140/info/ [External Link]
at the bottom of the table there is a "Steam Deck Compatibility" row with this info:
tested_build_id: 1398848
and a link pointing to the page:
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/1398848/ [External Link]
containing other links.
This may point to what version was verified but I do not know how to track the parent repository/branch/build, can someone help?
That just points to the build of the public branch, but doesn't specify whether it is the Linux or Windows version.

That it is, but I'm not sure my eyes are liking it very much.

Quoting: scaineThis is an absolute gem, ngl. Everyone on Linux with a VR set should own it, no question. Just don't allow Ehvis into your friends list... it's depressing. :grin:
Me 48.2 hours, you 3.6 hours. I think we can see the real problem here. :tongue:

Edit: Also:

With this being one of the few native VR games, every Linux VR player should own it. But I may be slightly biased because I also love the game. :tongue:

Compared to other VR rhythm games I would say this one is less fatiguing. It also requires more practice per song because the variation is much bigger and with this game using a larger part of your field of view, you're less likely to do well based on just visual cues. To get through the songs without errors, you'll need to do a bit of learning on higher difficulties. And on "executioner" level you need god tier speed and accuracy to get top scores. :grin: That last part I still struggle with since I'm more of an either one, but not both kinda person. Plus my timing is... not great.

Escape Simulator hits over $4M in gross sales

Don't think anybody expected it to do this well. It's a pretty good game as far as escape rooms go, but I think it's the room editer/workshop support that make this game really appealing.

Looks like Monster Hunter Rise runs well on Linux with Proton

Quoting: CatKiller
Tested with Proton Experimental, the only issue currently encountered is a small intro video not playing. This is a reoccurring issue and will be for the Steam Deck, for titles that use things like Media Foundation.
I hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.
They already have. The problem is that it takes time before the re-encoded videos appear.

Survival game Vintage Story gets another huge upgrade with improved combat

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWait, did you expect a survival game that strives for realism...
Realism? So when you die, wait out the night at your base. Then next morning you go to the place of your death hoping that the wolves have moved on only to find that your stuff has despawned is about realism? No, that's just about making you work again for hours and hours to get it back. No thanks, I'll pass.
