Has anyone managed to run the Steam versions on Steam Deck/Linux with Classic Rebirth? So far I could launch RE3 (with some graphical issues which weren't presented in the old CD version) and DC2.

What is "Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit" and why has it risen from 0 to 5%? Was it some SteamOS update that changed something and affected the Steam Deck statistics?

Castlevania Advance Collection works on Steam Deck, despite what Konami say

Quoting: TimeFreezeCastlevania Anniversary Collection is also working without issues, same with Contra Anniversary Collection.
Is it? When I played these collections (two years ago), they ran terribly. Problems with fullscreen, aspect ratio, wrong button binding, glitchy emulator menu, no hotkeys, encrypted ROM files... I couldn't even quit the game without Alt+F4.

Maybe I'm too old, but it feels weird for me when I see Linux users are saying "Linus" without mentioning the surname of that Linus, and it turns out that it is not about Torvalds. I read headlines like "Linus tries to install Linux", "Linus breaks his Linux installation", "Linus bashes Linux" and wonder wtf has happened to Torvalds? But then I realize it's about some guy from YouTube.

I've tried CoD Black Ops, and it doesn't work :(
EDIT: Apparently it doesn't work with MangoHud. It runs fine without it.

Quoting: DaiKaiser93Speaking about Nightdive, what happened to the Linux version of Blood: Flesh Supply? Anyone knows if the new Powerslave Exhumed will also be Windows only?
I've heard that Atari stopped funding Blood: Flesh Supply, thus it remains Windows-only and glitchy. But it seems Nightdive Studios decided to abandon Linux and Mac by themselves too. All their latest games are Windows-only (Quake, Shadow Man, Doom 64…) At least they run fine on Proton…

A new Valve game for the Steam Deck? It's not out of the realm of possibility

They could do something that would use the capabilities of Deck, like touchscreen and gyroscope. A puzzle game maybe.
