      kek, maybe because linuxshit supports only 10% of available steam games, and if you filter out the indie shovelware bitcoin miners, it supports less than 2% of AA and AAA games. It's fricking SHIT.

                The game itself work flawlessly.
                Launcher isn't great in that it can sometimes not redraw what's on it unless you focus it.
                In case of launcher problems, I recommend setting low performance mode.

                On Wayland, however, it was extremely unreliable and sometimes the game refused to show the game, instead drawing the launcher full screen.
                On X11 it works great, though.

        Nobody cares if it's supported or not if it still works perfectly. That's what Valve has been doing all this time. If you are smart enough to use AMD hardware like the Steam Deck then you don't need to limit yourself to officially supported titles. Just check two boxes in the Steam client and it will attempt to run all the games, supported or not. Outside Steam is also possible, I play Blizzard games all the time. With a 2560x1440 monitor that goes to 165 Hz. I can run Overwatch way above 165 FPS, it's more like 265 FPS, peaks past 300. My monitor doesn't even allow me to see that much, what more could I need? Who cares if I could get 10 FPS more in Windows? It's all going to waste if there even is any gain.

If you have the DirectPlay, DirectX, Visual Runtimes, .NET Frameworks, and whatever other dependencies like OpenAL for old titles or NVIDIA PhysX or Vulkan Runtimes or whatever, if you have them installed, and installed the game properly, it will always run on windows and it will run optimally since windows is the only operating system with full support for the major NVIDIA/AMD GPU companies.

      I agree with the sentiment, but for the moment there's not a distribution system for game devs to profit off of open source games. Something where you just pay for the assets which are still copyrighted should be possible, but as of right now it doesn't exist.

    It's only going to get better, too. The better steam makes it, the more steam decks they sell, the more market share they get, the more 30% commisions they get on sales. I just switched to linux like a week ago and was suprised that a lot of games in my library had a working install button. Every one that I've tried has worked well. I just tried the "frick it" option to try untested games and while it had an error prompt on start up that took 20 seconds to work itself out, it worked just as well. I was actually only booting into windows to play it too, so as of now I'm fulltime on linux and it feels breddy gud

        The nostalgia argument is only true, if the object of nostalgia can not be actively tested in comparison with what exists currently; in other words, if said nostalgic bias can not be falsified. If it can be, then it is not nostalgia. A person who is still able to play the 1994 version of UFO: Enemy Unknown today, and decides that they like it more than the later remake, is not being motivated by nostalgia; or at least, not entirely.

        Nostalgia refers to the entire accompanying milieu which the person experienced, at the time the object of nostalgia was also experienced. If the merit of the object of nostalgia can still be seen independently of that context, then that is not nostalgia.

              I didn't say that, I said that the toggle is all you need to do to get games to run on Linux. If the dev arbitrarily refuses to let the game run on Linux then there's nothing that can be done until the popularity of the Steam Deck forces the issue.

              I said I don't buy denuvo games, I pirate them. I didn't say play something else. If you're one of those people that play just one goyslop multiplayer and that game won't run on Linux due to anticheat then stay on Windows, I don't care.
