A big milestone has just been hit for the Steam Deck, as there's now over 10,000 titles rated to be either Verified or Playable.

      I’m actually astounded by how rock-solid my games are on Steam Deck. My prior experience with Linux gaming, even as recently as 18 months ago with Proton, was that even if games ran you’d see artifacting and weird logic issues or crashing.

      Haven’t seen a single instance of that on my Deck; it is indistinguishable from gaming on a Windows PC. Absolutely love it.

        I think it kind of also depends on the type of games you play. I’ve been using Proton since its release, and outside of live-service type games, like games that receive updates that break Proton compatibility, Proton has been pretty solid for me. Though I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS exclusively since 2017, it may vary from distro to distro I suppose (although the idea of Proton is that distro is irrelevant).

    Love valve’s support for Linux gaming. Even my pc only has Linux mint on it now soo glad to get rid of windows (in my personal life only unfortunately)
