If an APU counts, pretty much everything these days. The Steam Deck, even with its now “old” APU just keeps on steaming ahead!
Caveats: HD or lower. Sometimes at 30fps for big fancy AAA games.
Where the art 'zines at?

Why would anyone do this to themselves. Even Mac people buy custom keyboards themselves for a reason!
That said, I use the Mac “cmd” symbol instead of the “Windows” symbol for my super key (a la Elementary) on my cheap but lovely Keychron K2 Pro. It just looks better 😁!
Bazzite! Especially if you don’t want to tinker with the system too much.
Edit: regarding security/stability; Bazzite is an unofficial member of the Fedora Immutable (erstwhile Silverblue) family. It stays in lockstep with their release cycle and the RPM OStree, so the actual “system” part is pretty much the same.
Divinity: Original Sin 2? I suppose it looks a little bit gorey too, but nowhere near that high definition. Definitely no squirmers…
Oh my, I suddenly fell two decades younger after installing this 😚
I only just heard about ULWGL from a nice Threadiverser a couple of days ago, and now TIL!
Tl;Dr: Proton GE has extra game specific performance and compatibility patches that Proton doesn’t target for whatever reason.
Too long but I typed it out so might as well post it anyway: This is how I understand it goes like—
Now, we know Proton: a Valve-maintained fork of the venerable Wine project with many many gaming and game specific patches, made for Steam.
Proton can be used outside of Steam, of course, but it isn’t really designed to be, there be quirks. Plus, Valve maintains what goes into Proton, so if anyone really wants to play a certain Windows game that doesn’t quite run well enough on Proton and put in the work needed to make the necessary changes, it’s probably not getting added to Proton just yet (I frankly don’t know how or whether Valve accepts PRs at all). And Wine does not really want game specific patches in the runtime. Wine wants to be as generally compatible as possible.
That’s why most Proton variants exist. A certain Glorious Eggroll maintains this one, which has quite a few patches for games that aren’t targeted by Proton either at all or well enough, as well as making sure it can run outside of Steam (there are other variants of the patches for vanilla Wine or for use in Lutris as well, I think?)
I was kinda warming up to the totally unintended slightly inconsistent mineral based naming scheme tbh. But then, hadn’t fully…
“Build making” roguelites like Hades etc. These days I’ve been playing far too much Magicraft while trying to keep sane.
Most importantly, I find, it let’s us turn off mentions on replies by default.
I would at the very least break their fingers if they touch my keyboard.
No hammer needed…
Great! Bazzite.gg will point to it soon then? It still redirected to the GitHub for me.
Edit: cached result! The new site loaded on my phone! Very swish :)
I’m sure it’ll get a Bazzite port within weeks.
I want this to be a thing so much…
But I cannot overlook the fact that this “website” is composed entirely of images and none of the text is properly aligned.
I get this a lot in my Steam Deck (desktop mode). But the most infuriating thing of all is when a podcast I already finished starts from the beginning after a wake the device up.
Did you happen to notice if yours also said touch support: none
?
Yesterday was the first time I got the survey on my Deck.
I got it on the desktop (as I often am during the day because I do all my work on it), and noticed that while it reported the device as Valve manufactured and the OS correctly, a whole bunch of other data was wrong, like it said the device didn’t support touch, etc.
Should I have taken the survey on Game Mode? Is it even possible to get the survey in Game Mode?
I’ve been using a Steam Deck as my only PC for almost a year now, for work (graphics design, web dev, illustration, some Blender) as well as play ofc. Aside from my suboptimal dock options (Valve doesn’t sell any hardware in my market) It’s been a very smooth experience, and I’ve not even had to disable immutability at any point.
I would like to support the point that Game Mode is one of the most important features the Deck has, and losing out on it by installing Ubuntu feels like a loss.
But I would also like to note that Steam OS now has Distrobox built in: for most use-cases you can just set up all the software you need inside an Ubuntu container without much hassle.
Ultimately though, the form factor is the main difference. If I only needed to keep it docked all the time a Deck would not make much sense. But I love shifting to my bed after a workday and playing anything and everything I would have needed to sit at a desk to do before!
Probably wouldn’t’ve thought that when it came out, but I kinda really like OS/2 as a name. Had a very Serial Experiments Lain ring to it.
…Certainly a lot cooler than OSX.
