    Steamdeck has done such good things for Linux gaming, it’s like an overnight shift in development attitudes and I love it.

      The Steam Deck may not have a ton of users, but enough that developers are willing to put in a little more effort to ensure compatibility.

        Maybe if Valve could work out shipping them to other regions officially we’d see more growth. I still see people lamenting that they can’t buy a Deck without going to some sketchy third-party and overpaying.

          Blame the laws of the countries where that happens. The legislatures there have been captured by their own corporations.

      I really hope the momentum continues. Part of me is worried that the Asus ROG Ally is eating into that momentum.

    I built a new PC with the intention of adding a second drive for Windows. It’s been two weeks of gaming and I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Might never.

        Sadly that won’t work for all games. If I remember correctly, Rainbow Six Siege has VM detection and might ban you for that

        Can’t run it on the GPU for my VR headset if it’s a VM.

    I’ll be joining the Linux team soon! My new parts arrive in a couple of days and I will only use Linux from here on out, except at work unfortunately.

    I wonder how many of those are gaming on both Steam Deck and desktop Linux versus how many have a windows PC and use Steam Deck

      I would it is a higher percentage compared to the population that does not have a steam deck. Still a majority of Steam Deck + Windows PC owners though.

            Nahh lol I’m a bit gutted to have missed it. At the same time, I probably shouldn’t have bought one anyway!

          I didnt know this was a thing, in my country they just pushed back expected delivery dates from 1-2 weeks to 2-4 weeks

            I expect they have a set amount available for each region, and people have jumped on it in the UK.

            Maybe they might bring it back at the end of the sale, but it’s probably best that I save my money hah.
