Quoting: GuestLooks really good

Whishlisted on Steam!

Currently I am thinking that the first game I am going to play on the Steam Deck will be Orcs Must Die 3.
This might still change during the time that is going to pass until I get the device in my hands in reality, but nonetheless I am really excited for it.

Quoting: lesssterOrcs Must Die! 3 is the one that came up my mind immediately. This game is sooo much fun in coop-mode, it's incredible! Has been Stadia exclusive for one year and will be available on Steam by July 23th (including Linux, of course).

It is not coming to Linux, whoever told you that is wrong. Being on Steam does not mean supported on Linux.

Well sorry then, I guess that was my fault then. I was so happy to see it showing up on Steam and automatically seemed to think that would mean Linux support as well. But yes, you are right, the Steam Store page doesn't mention Linux. Sorry for the mistake!
So it seems that's another gem that sadly will be available for Linux users via Proton only. That's better than being not available at all, but still slightly disappointing.

Quoting: jrtUntil now, I haven't seen a single game that made it from Stadia to the Linux desktop.

Orcs Must Die! 3 is the one that came up my mind immediately. This game is just sooo much fun in coop-mode, it's incredible! It has been Stadia exclusive for one year and will be available on Steam by July 23th (including Linux, of course).
In fact, the Devs have been saying that this game only exists because it's making was funded by Google/Stadia.

But I guess there are more examples of games making their way from Stadia to Linux, not only this one, or am I wrong?

Quoting: ProtektorWhy not use something like MergerFS or ZFS or BTRFS something with drive pooling and just put the mount point as the game directory for game installs.

Thanks for the hint. Although, I am not sure if GamerOS supports something like that. Problem might be that GamerOS has only Big Picture Mode (BPM) of Steam enabled, currently there seems to be no way to run Steam in Desktop Mode on GamerOS. And only in Desktop Mode it is possible to specify a game directory...

(Well, SteamOS is also BPM only by default, but there exists an easy workaround to make SteamOS boot into Desktop Mode temporarily. But that doesn't work on GamerOS, I have yet to find such a workaround for GamerOS)

Quoting: [email protected]There is an acceptable solution, even quite good in my opinion.
Take a close look at this Internet-Address:
------------
https://github.com/ShadowApex/steamos-ubuntu/blob/master/install.sh [External Link]
--------
After that you can install the Steamos-Compositor Plus from GamerOS

e-voila ...

..yours ..iVAN..

This does in fact look truely promising, thanks a lot for that! I really have to give it a try eventually (soon).

Quoting: alkazarThere has been no developments yet in this area. It is not impossible to set this up though. You would need to install the OS and then modify `/etc/fstab` manually.

Modifying /etc/fstab is one thing, I guess I am able to handle that. But would that alone be sufficient? I fear there's more to do than that. Somehow Steam must be made aware of the additional filesystem to be able to use it as a game library folder. It is possible in Steam BPM (Big Picture Mode) to switch between several library folders, though, but somehow they need to be set up (created by making a couple of entries in some .vdf files) first, and as far as I know this is only possible in desktop mode, not in BPM, and this information should be persistent, even after performing any GamerOS related upgrades...

Quoting: Nugrudwhen was the last time SteamOS was updated by Valve? Does anyone still use it?

I am still using SteamOS, was very happy with it in the beginning, but the last time it has been updated was almost three years ago, so to me it looks like Valve abandoned it completely. Lots of libraries are completely outdated now so that many games won't launch anymore...

Would like to switch to GamerOS, but the last time I tried it, it was incapable to use more than one hard disk. Does anymore know if this has been fixed already? (my system has a small SSD to boot from plus a huge HDD to install games on it.)
