Took a while, as we was waiting for this since the launch of the Steam Deck. Now the floodgate is open.

The obligatory The Year Of Linux. :D

Fuck yes! Maybe more games will enable Linux support.

That would be awesome, but sadly the biggest shift wont happen until the major anti cheats start supporting proton.

I assumed that most major anti-cheat systems now provide an option for Proton but many game developers don't enable it.

It's even worse.

They are adding Linux support - but only if it detects you are running the exact model of OLED screen as Steam Deck has, and blocks anything else.

Just need it on generic desktop and we will be set!

Iirc, the requirement is basically a computing device than runs using AMD processor (I forgot about the GPU part, but maybe it must be AMD too), and uses NVME SSD. So, most modern system?
