Sensual KazooIt's gotten a lot better for games. I've been having a good time with my steam deck and will probably try it on my desktop next time I rebuild my computer.
haileysteam works fine on linux, if you can figure out how to install steam on linux.
5 17David BuchananThis is why I run aarch64, even that doesn't work

Natanael, Tech janitorSteam OS is based on Arch, by the way

jackcomes in most package managers/software centres anyway (at least from every distro I’ve tried lol) — enable proton and you’re all good
1 3haileysure but what about the games
2 2Samuelapparently they all work now, the Steam Deck being linux based Valve decided to just fix it
3 8haileyi don’t know enough about this tbh but i’ve always been a little skeptical about “it works on steam deck” meaning “it works great on linux”. i’m sure it can work great on linux but i’ll be damned before i spend 3 weeks getting that working correctly 😭
3 7haileywith that said though i think steam deck incentivizing good operation on linux is dope
1 4jackyeah I think valve is also trying to pay some game studios to port it too?

NoahI have just like, regular Fedora on my laptop and steam installed fine, and every game that is verified on Steam Deck works fine.
Proton is a miracle, I swear.
4 4NoahI have a windows desktop that’s just for games that I haven’t touched in 3 years.
I’m actually stunned at how little work I have to put in to get things running.
The work Valve devs have done is crazy to me
2jackit’s insane how well proton works
at times it feels quicker for me on linux than windows
1 2haileycool! this is definitely awesome news. i haven’t daily drove linux in a long time because of doing native mobile dev but i might have to get back into it at some point. there are some games i’d like to check out (and istg i cant use windows)

† lucia scarlet 🏰I like 11 because the taskbar is bouncy and squishy

Jen GentlemanOffhand, some other things:
* Updated Settings design
* File Explorer has tabs now
* Task Manager supports dark theme and a search box
* Managing Bluetooth devices and seeing Bluetooth device battery level from quick settings in the taskbar
* Volume mixer integration into quick settings
* (Others)

FinixIt crashes constantly, especially if you use network drives.
Mary BranscombeIf the Start menu was load bearing for you, I'm sorry!
