Nice! My Knoppix that I used around 2003 was written on a similar TDK CD. I still have the disc somewhere...

Sadly another non-native support, but still better than nothing. I am just kind of saddened that there are almost no native ports anymore, except for smaller indie games.

Sadly, none of their games seems to be Linux native although many of them have macOS builds. But it's still great to see another developer/publisher supporting Steam Deck.

It is really nice that 4 out of 5 most played games are playable on Linux and 2 of them are native.

Considering how crappy GeForce NOW is, this is really bad news. Looking forward to Amazon Luna, but I don't have any higher hopes anymore...

Quoting: legluondunetDid you try to play old Linux native games?
It's a very difficult task to launch them on recent Linux distributions.
Today it's more easy to launch a Windows game on Linux than an old Linux native game.
It is not that bad. Usually, most of the issues are quite easy to solve. I play UT2004 natively on my Fedora 36, it is an out-of-box experience thanks to Luxtorpeda, but it was not that hard to get working even without using Luxtorpeda or Lutris - just copy new versions of some libs to the UT2004/System directory, then edit one line in UT2004 config file, at least if I remember correctly. Similar "tweaking" is also common on Windows and its gaming community. Sure, backward compatibility of Windows is sadly way better, but many games still need various tweaks and fixes to be able to run properly on latest versions of Windows.
Blizzard don't officially support Steam Deck / Linux but they still fix issues for it

Quoting: RaabenI'm surprised they directly addressed it instead of a quiet fix. I know Blizz has been secretly pretty Linux/WINE friendly, but they don't usually come out and say it like they did here, do they?

Longer time ago, they even officially sent some patches to Wine to make WoW run better.

Seems to run great, but sadly another game that has no native port.
