    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.

    We’ve a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.

    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.
