That’s really true. I agree 100% Valve is playing the long game and is really doing a great job bringing Linux to the average user.

Bg3 runs pretty good on it. There are some slowdowns, but it doesn’t really matter in this kind of game.

I got obsessed with that game, but kind of burnt out after I finished act 2.

I’m not surprised. The steamdeck is the only way that I game any longer. I think their approach to hardware upgrades not being frequent is a great idea. It lets devs have target hardware for the games to work on.

I couldn’t be happier with my steamdeck and will get the next one on day one.

It’s too bad their docs say they tested it with proton.

I don’t think it’s worth compiling for. Maybe when it’s out of beta it will work fine.

Thanks, but I’ve give. Up on it. There are a lot of other games to play.

This kept crashing on steamdeck for me. Anyone else have this problem? The launcher opens, but trying to open the game causes it to crash.

I love projects like this. I would love to have the free time to be able to work on something cool like this.

I still have all my old systems even the nes which I first gamed on, technically it’s my parents. But they don’t game at all so it’s really more mine than anyone else’s in the family.

25 for the bundle is perfect. Each of these games could probably sell for 15-20 alone.

I’ll probably pick this up after seeing a review of it on the steam deck.

I played resident evil 3 first and fell in love with the series. God, that wa before ps2 was out. It was so long ago.

I love this about the steam deck, I just installed cyberpunk and Witcher 3 and both games have a graphics option for steam deck.

I think the steamdeck not releasing new models every year is also a good idea as it gives devs a specific hardware to optimize for.

This also will make sure devs optimize games so that they can run on lower end hardware.

It’s really a win for everyone.

It seems to be a hit randomly and depends on the game, but I only play around the house, so it’s never been a big deal. I also try not to suspend unless I’ve saved already just in case, but I’m willing to take the risk.

The suspend feature is wildly important for me.

If I had to boot a game and shut it down each time, I’d only pickup the device when I had set aside time to game.

Since I can suspend and resume whenever, I pickup my steam deck all the time. I can play in the car and just suspend when we arrive or I can play for a few minutes while waiting for a meeting to start.

I can play while my wife gets ready.

Sometimes meets get canceled or there is traffic, so gaming sessions can really stretch out into a longer play time.

If I couldn’t suspend, I wouldn’t have played in those moments.

I have a pretty bad dust allergy, so I avoid electronic exhaust as it’s usually high in dust. But I had to admit the warm air feels good blowing on your face when you are waiting for something to load.

Looks like it works.

Lutris can be used as a launcher for games and users can generate launch scripts to get games to work.

I use this only if something does work through proton alone.

A lot of the games you listed would have the same issue on Windows. Additionally it likes like pc-98 can work on Linux.

I don’t see why CD games wouldn’t work on Linux. You can connect a disk drive just like you can in windows. And can then make an iso of the cd for convenience.

One game you listed, Pangaya shutdown.

I’m not saying everything works on Linux, but at this point the large majority does.

Others have pointed out other titles that are pretty popular that don’t work on Linux. So if that game is important to you, I don’t blame you for not using Linux. I use windows for work for the same reason.

But just be fair.

Can you share some examples that are not in steam that don’t work?

I can’t play like 5 games.

I don’t get it either, Linux is fine for gaming at this point. Now it’s such a small amount of games that don’t work.

Saved you a click,

No

I got mine like a month or two ago and it’s by far my favorite device. I’ll keep buying steam decks for as long as they make them.

I’m looking forward to doing an ssd upgrade at some point. But my microsd card is handling everything well so far.
