How could Valve do this to us?

While it’s great news that Bethesda is making an effort to make sure Starfield will run on Deck, I’d still like to recommend that most people wait for performance reports before buying and expecting a good experience.

EA anticheat is a kernel level anticheat, which are generally bad for consumers due to them giving malware new targets to get full control of an infected system. Genshin Impact’s kernel anticheat is famously targeted by ransomware as an easier way to gain control of user’s PCs for example. They also don’t work on Linux,...

I need it now....

All you need is a decent dock and a Wi-Fi repeater with data a cable port....

Btrfs is a filesystem (like FAT, NTFS, and ext4), but has some distinct advantages:...

Turning everything to low and enabling FSR2 is basically the only way to play it right now on Valve’s handheld, and even that drops to 20fps often in the first major city (New Atlantis). The game itself...

The true number of playable games is of course much higher, but this is still an impressive milestone....

PC/Linux/Steam Noob here. I just got a game from GOG and I’m seeing tutorials mention Heroic, Lutris, and Wine via ProtonUp-QT as methods to get non-Steam games installed and running on Deck. Which method would you consider the easiest and most reliable for content from GOG, Ubisoft, Epic, etc…

Glad co-op is finally here, going to get some good use out of my dock.
