Hope Nate and the team are ready for the onslaught they're going to receive when the Deck starts shipping. Lots of people who have never used Linux, KDE, Discover, Dolphin, Kate, etc, are going to be using their software for the first time, and probably vocal on their feedback of what they like and don't like. It's going to be a lot to digest but should be interesting none the less.

Put me down for 500 verified games by launch on Feb 25th.

First game? Hm, I'm thinking Stardew Valley would be perfect for the Deck.

I'd be willing to bet some of these changes were probably the result of work they're doing on the Steam Deck's UIs. They probably thought, "Ya know, it'd be handy on the 64GB models particularly to be able to see how big a game is before you click install.", then someone else probably replied, "Actually, that'd be handy on Desktop too", and everyone probably looked at each other for a moment wondering why they only just thought of it.

Well that's fantastic, kudos to the Pop!_OS team. Hopefully their work can be integrated into other distros too.

Surprised there's no "Steam Deck Sale" planned. Maybe they will wait a year, make sure everyone who wants a Deck, has one, before they do the sale.

Lovely seeing the Steam Deck acting as a great way to convince game devs to make all these little improvements that benefit Linux overall.

IMO, Heroic Games Launcher is actually better than the official EGS client.

Loving the 4.0 update so far. Happily supporting this project via it's patron. I said 2 years ago and I still believe it, I think one day Godot will be 'the blender of game engines'. 4.0 seems like a good step towards that goal. On my wishlist now is a terrain editor, tools to manage streaming open world content in and out of memory more easily, and some more UI work. Hopefully by 5.0 all those will happen.

Great news to hear. With Steam being the most Linux-friendly gaming platform there is, seeing it also doing extremely well is very good news for us.

Quoting: dpanterDecember 2021 saw the Linux user share at 1.11%. (GOL Steam Tracker

So kwik mafs suggests 324,133 penguins :woot:

1/3 of a million Linux gamers online at one time! Woot!
