Alt text: Trojan Horse meme, Steam Deck bringing Linux to Windows gamers
It's working, I know people who don't even own a steam deck who are considering swapping to SteamOS once it's available for desktops.
I've told them they don't need to wait and can get a similar or better experience with distros that are already available, but steam's name is gold for a lot of people and it seems like the only option they're really interested in.
Knowing that with Steams' support of Linux through proton means a vast amount of games just work out of the box was enough for me to switch to EndeavourOS.
I've been on it for a week, and I'm so sold.
Firstly: I feel seen.
Secondly: it's working, SteamOS is so nice. I haven't been this interested in Linux since the XP to 7 transfer. And I think imma' actually do it this time.
It's almost like an OS that wants to be useful is a better experience than an OS that wants to push you ads and steal everything you produce to feed into llm slop-generation.
This is a lie! Nobody should read his comment, instead they should check out Raid Shadow Legends the epic, turn-based RPG that's taken the mobile gaming world by storm!
Steam deck gave me the courage to dump Windows 10 for Endeavour OS. Very happy so far.
There isn't some magic to this. Someone puts out a game thats as popular as say bg3 but doesn't run on steam deck and all these memes will go away overnight. Just hope that doesn't happen.
Gaben you sneaky devil
there are many games i play that dont work on Linux systems
Which ones, genuinely curious?
CS2 FaceIT, Tarkov, CoD, Le Mans Ultimate
I'll start with Fortnite. Hate on it if you want but my kids and wife play it and I enjoy playing with them even if I don't much care for it myself.
Maybe switch to Linux so you can't play Fortnite
Pretty much every online competitive game cuz they all use invasive anti cheats and scapegoat linux as the cheater platform.
CS2 is the only outlier that I know of (VAC is server side mostly & CS2 is native anyways so). Probably some other games that are linux friendly too, but 99% are not.
I mean league of legends does work on linux, though maybe not as "plug and play" as other titles. But yeah I get your point, if you want ro play Rainbow six siege or equivalents ten you're probably out of luck, at least for now.
Yeah here's to hoping these game devs/publishers get their heads on straight when we all move to linux and stop playing their games because of lack of support.
That's the thought I use to cope anyways ;(
