Quoting: buckysrevengeWhat's nice about those of us that bought Steam Machines back in the day, they've greatly benefited from all of Valve's work on Proton. Now if they could just properly migrate the Deck UI, we'd be set. I bought my Alienware Steam Machine r2 a little over 5 years ago, did some minor upgrades and it works better than ever now that I can play even more of my library.

It's not only beneficial to Steam Machines/deck though.

Quoting: Craggles086Also it is encouraging to see Microsoft support for SteamDeck might not just be some passing Fad but they look like providing ongoing support.

This hopefully means performance tuning for SteamDeck / Linux in the future and maybe even a native version? :)

Overall, it's been a fantastic month for the Steam Deck and Linux Gaming as a whole thanks to it and all of Valve's effort in making it a success. They're doing a huge amount right.

They're doing a lot wrong too.

For example?

Verifying games that are broken (games with EAC), or don't actually meet Valve's criteria, for example. Something Liam (and Ethan Lee) have pointed out repeatedly.

Quoting: STiATAnd Valve reportedly stopped payouts to Ukraine developers.

That really put them on my bad side now. I hope they remedy that soon, I'd dislike to have to stop using Steam.

Quoting: STiATAnd Valve stops paying ukraine devs. Shame on you Gabe.

Interesting.

There are other ways to donate, so being critical about Humble Bundle doesn't mean not donating at all. itch.io ended their bundle yesterday, but as always, charities accept also direct donations if you actually want to donate instead of essentially buying games (Humble Bundle being the party that is actually donating).
