Beginnings of a WMA decoder.

With this all games that uses Media Player to run a video playback in the game could run without tweaks?
Like Resident Evil 5 or Catherine Classic?

Quoting: MalAnd that's indeed few clicks away. Unless a studio lost the sources or the libraries, there is little excuse now to not add support.

Well done, both Valve and Epic!

Even on a (terrible) situation like that, the developer with the Steam Dev credential could recover the base files get the extra Linux lib.so from Epic, place alongside the windows .dll file and resubmit to Valve this "new" version of the game.

It appears we'll have at the Steam Deck launch day many distros based on SteamOS.
They will have package managers adequate for many users likewise.
Also various DEs available.
This is great for everyone, let them fight for popularity!

This 1% of users with Linux distros is a very feasible number, we're talking about 1.2 million users around the globe.
Considering how much people are talking about the use of a Linux desktop, it's not a big surprise seeing those numbers rise and of course with the 'media' boost from the announcement of Steam Deck, much more people are willing to try (maybe again) some distro.
And also some vendors now ship their PCs with Linux preinstalled and some good distros this time like PopOS.
