I installed Trixie when it was in beta and had no issue with it.
I recently bought an AMD 9060XT GPU and I am please to report that it worked out of the box. There was no need to set up anything, I could directly start to play game on Steam or GoG.

Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2

Quoting: jordicomaI'm sure that they only understand that they cannot change to "non required" to "required".
The next game that they publishes I'm sure they'll have "required" from the start.
And that's fair. No one is forced to buy a game if they don't agree with linking accounts.

Making a game you bought unplayable after a few weeks because of this was on the other hand not acceptable.

Regardless of price or quality issue with games, I think that the market is getting saturated.
For instance I haven't bought games like BG3 because I already have a few (10ish) games to play before that (which will likely take me a couple of years at my current rate).
I don't think I am the only one. Even if there are people with a backlog of thousands of games, most people will not buy a game if they don't have time to play it.

There are just too many "good" games published all the time. Therefore it is hard to stand out with your new game as a developer and get people to buy it.

I don't like this move to put everything in a container and I try to stay as far from it as possible.
But I understand this is based on my personal experience where I have only seen disadvantages with it.

So far, I have Steam installed from official Debian repository.

He was in my wishlist for a very long time, I bought it directly when I got the Steam notification.

I have just found time to play 30 min at it, but so far it's good and it works without issue on the Steam Deck.
