Sunshine game streaming update has frame timing improvements for Linux
24 April 2024 at 4:59 pm UTC

I must give it a try.

I wanted to try streaming from my Linux desktop to the Steam Deck, but unfortunately streaming games via Steam does not work for me.

Maybe this will work.

I'll have to give Sunshine a proper look one day.

Dwarf Fortress on Steam now officially available for Linux
19 September 2023 at 8:57 pm UTC

Quoting: sonic2kkIt didn't download the native release for me automatically, I had to force the "Steam Linux Runtime" compatibility tool. This forces the Scout runtime, or "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0" as it is now called, which is generally useful for many native Linux titles and is enforced by default on SteamOS for Steam Deck Verified native titles.
Same thing happened to me on Ubuntu, but forcing 'Steam Linux Runtime' indeed did the trick. Thanks.

I bought this game quite some time ago. It's pretty neat. I can recommend it to anyone that finds the premise even remotely interesting.

Linux overtakes macOS users on Steam thanks to Steam Deck

For the survey to appear on Steam Deck, do you need to go into desktop mode for that to happen, or can you also get it while in gaming mode?

Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam Deck is 'absolutely wild' and aims for 30FPS on Medium

Split screen is disabled on Deck? Hopefully it won't be disabled on the Linux desktop as well. Not being able to play split screen on my desktop would suck.

Returnal is just rough on Steam Deck but great on Desktop Linux

Has anyone tested it yet with an Nvidia Pascal GPU? I have a GTX 1070 in my desktop and I'm curious how well the game would fare on it.

Humble Choice for November 2022 has some good looking picks

I've bought this bundle.

It was mainly for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - for about the cost of just this game, I got some additional ones along with it.

UnMetal and Raji seem interesting.

Seeing as how HLL doesn't work on Linux, I've traded the code for this game. In exchange, I received Desperados III and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated.

Spider-Man Remastered is awesome on Steam Deck

I'm wondering what kind of performance I'd get with my i7-7700k and Nvidia GTX 1070 at either medium or low settings at 1080p, with FSR 2.0 turned on.

Humble Choice has The Ascent, Hot Wheels Unleashed, A Plague Tale: Innocence
3 August 2022 at 8:41 pm UTC

I picked it up, it's nice to see a good bundle again.

I look forward to trying out Hot Wheels: Unleashed and The Ascent.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a game I've already had on EGS (it was a freebie), but a Steam copy is always preferred. I'll have to complete this one for sure.

Other games seem quite interesting as well. Well, maybe not Gas Station Simulator - but the rest of the bundle is pretty solid.

It's well worth the 10€. I really wanted to have Hot Wheels: Unleased, and here I not only get it, but I also get some other good games along with it.

I had an inkling that Hot Wheels would appear one day in a humble bundle - it's good that I haven't pulled the trigger on it in the past.

Linux user share on Steam continues rising — highest for years again
2 August 2022 at 5:20 pm UTC

Damm, that's really great news.

It's amazing that the trend is continuing.

I'm curious how long would it take for us to reach 5% market share on Steam If the growth was to continue at the current pace.

I even got the Steam hardware survey yesterday, so I will be included in the next round of statistics. I'm using Nobara, so I'll be in the 'Other' Linux distro category.
