That’s cool games thar require anti cheat measures or have sports are generally speaking games I’m not interested in as a rule.

“We need kernel access to prevent cheaters from ruining our game” is the dating equivalent to a guy asking for your phone password on the first date.

It’s not even that. I have zero interest in multilayer games even less so “seasonal” games. Basically all the stuff AAA says is dead I like and all the stuff they say I should like I dislike

The season nomenclature is fucking stupid and I hate it. If a game makes its DLC or quarterly updates and calls them “Seasons” I am revolted.

More like asking for access to your email and keys and phone pin code, or (if people have it) their password wallet, to make sure you aren’t hooking up with other guys on the side.

Just as crazy

My beef is with the machine.

I love my Steamdeck so much. Been like 2 years now? still rocking every game I want to play.

Playing through ZenlessZoneZero rn which isn’t even officially supported in any extent and runs flawlessly! Also it’s a real computer that you can do real work on.

I find that happens if my docked and undocked resolution scales are not the same.

I’ve been playing OG PS2 San Andreas. Absolutely loving it ❤️

My Steam Deck has been awesome, money very well spent.

And Valve has made a good chunk of money off me since buying it too lol. I keep getting games specifically for the Deck.

I bought like 200 games since I had mine though mostly indie and actually played a lot of them! I spend quite a bit of time traveling and it’s awesome to play some strategy with the trackpad - the trip just flies by!

I upgraded my PC and now I barely touch my steam deck. The money spent on it is still VERY worth it. Even if I never touched it again, I use it when traveling, I would still be unbelievably satisfied with my purchase.

In a similar boat. However I now have games strictly for the Deck and games strictly for the Desktop.

I’d use a Steamdeck mini if was available. The current size for my needs makes me classify it as a non-portable. Hope the next version they have a smaller variant along with the larger one.

Same. I was very impressed by the games that work despite being unsupported. Heck, I’ve got Rainbow Six: Vegas working on it with gamepad support. I couldn’t even do that in Windows.

Linux is amazing for games thar don’t have anti-cheat and I don’t play those games. Saying that Linux gaming isn’t ready is just stupid at this point. And for emulation it might be better than Windows.

wine’s backwards compatibility is argued to be better than windows

but yeah. valve sells a linux console ffs

Its not ready for VR. Thats why my vr headset is collecting dust.

The tech is cool but evidently not worth it to find motivation to go back to win.

Maybe if you used VR Chat all the time, but there’s vfio for those cases, if needed. I just learned about it from another user, and so there’s really no need to keep Windows as your primary boot partition or even have a dual boot setup.

My Quest 2 has been running VR fine. ALVR’s latest update made me finally nuke my Windows partition I kept for VR.

Other than Angry Birds VR needing to have the recenter button hit after it’s first launched, so far it’s been fine for HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, Budget Cuts, and a few others I’ve tried. Literally the only workaround quirk I’ve found so far.

If you have a headset that works on Linux, everything works just fine. A lot of headsets are just missing the drivers.
