I would love to play MW3 in split screen on my Steam Deck docked. But the game is stuttering. I think I have to accept that the SD is not enough powerful to handle the game...

There is like 130M players by month, so 6,5M linux users. How can publishers afford to ignore such an enormous market share? Few businesses ever get the chance to reach such a vast potential audience.

I don't know what's the future of Bazzite but Antheas's statement feels like a bad omen.

I may seem like an amateur, and I am, but why not create a specific linux kernel for this kind of games ?
An other option is that when you enter the steam gamemode, and a game is launched, the steam environment with the game is sandboxed.
Third solution: reimplement user kick voting

Quoting: elmapul
Quoting: Pengling
Quoting: elmapulthe bad news is the rate of growth of this list vs steam game list...
sure there are a bunch of shovelware on steam but still... the % of compatible games tend to reduce over time.
And that only affects the numbers - you're still free to install and run them and these days they are quite likely to work, there's nothing stopping you. :wink:
that also affect how people perceive the product, there is a reason why asus called their product "rog ally" with the slogam: "play all your games"

Even if all other (offline)games do work, people need to be informed about that fact, not everyone will know about protonDB before they purchase the deck and even if they do and if protonDB people were able to test all the games, not everyone is qualified to make an Q/A, for example, i quoted a lot of times one game missing cutscenes, most people who only played it on linux didnt even knew it supposed to have then because they havent played it in other platforms to compare against.
I think Valve should work on compatibility by asking for a bigger commission from publishers who don't participate in game compatibility. We all know that it's clearly not the small publishers who are obstructing this,and this allows the argument: we work with this money to make your games compatible

A cheap and slim laptop on Linux with a good autonomy is all I want, unfortunately there are not many offers, I think even there is zero.
