Quoting: F.UltraA real quality of life for me would be if they all (Uplay, Origin, WTF) would just remove their completely unnecessary launchers.This. So much this. I played Watch Dogs 2 on the deck. Every time, I start the game, it forgets my Ubisoft Connect Login and I have to type a log password because password managers aren't a thing in steam input.

Alyx works for me, but I sadly don't expect Levitation to work. Almost all mod maps are broken using the Vulkan renderer. (Sometimes they run, but they have texture or shader issues)
This is a known issue on Valve's side, and modders response to issues on Vulkan is usually “just use DirectX”.

Since Intel is relatively Linux friendly it's nice to have competition to AMD on the graphics side that's not Nvidia!

This is probably great for Linux numbers in the steam survey. Considering a lot of students in the US have a Chromebook this could be huge going forward!

@liamd have you tried getting your Index to run with the Steam Deck? I know it's not officially supported. (It's more of an academic question.)
