Make that "Gaming on Linux". I've barely come accross a game that wouldnt work at all, ocassionally (usually with older titles) setting up a decent controll scheme can be some work. To be fair, though, I mostly play single player games or casual multiplayer games - I don't play any esports titles or competitive multiplayer games, so unsupported anti-cheat hasn't been an issue for me.

All the effort Valve has put into proton for the steam deck has paid off for regular Linux gaming as well. So much so, that Linux has been my main OS for about a month.

In my experience the biggest issues tend to be some stupid launcher that publishers still think are a great idea.

This is so true. The state of gaming on the Steam Deck is great right now. Even the foreboding `unsupported` status is only ever really a problem with asinine anti-cheat, and that's just like a handful of games *that aren't worth playing in the first place*.

I've been able to play every game that I've thrown at the steam deck. "Unsupported" be damned.

Maybe I'm getting wooshed but can't you bring up the keyboard anyway?

I think you can use the d-pad to do input the codes. But I am not 100% sure of that. it might be for a different version of the game.

Tbh, I haven't been paying attention to the compatibility marker, at all. The day the game released, I played it on steam deck, unlocked all achievements a few weeks ago - entirely on the steam deck.

Sounded like they ran fine from the moment the updated version was released. Glad valve is finally getting them updated, that meme about how doom will run on everything except steam deck was a little painful.

See publishers? This is how you keep revenue. Quit killing games!
