Minecraft should work pretty well in it via ViveCraft, if you're comfortable modding. It officially supports Linux play

They recently updated it, which seems to have at least improved stability for me. Still can't get room configuration to run, but I can use default settings fine

Like I said, I tend to move like this regardless; this just lets it actually do something!

One is lateral movement, the other is aiming. My deck's offline at the moment, so I'm going from memory... but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I have the right stick set to aim. Then I have the gyro set to only activate when my thumb is on the right stick. Big rapid changes in direction I use the stick and the fine adjustments don't much matter; then for fine control I hold the stick still, with thumb on top, and physically shift the deck to aim. Sometimes bracing my wrists on my knees or whatever's handy.

Then when I end up angled weird, I lift my thumb and settle back in. My play style tends to end up with me twisting around while I play anyway, this just lets me harness it a bit!

I have mine set so if I want it to stay still, I lift my thumb off the movement joystick, turning off the gyro control. If I still need to move, I nudge from the side where the sensor isn't

The implied issue with that phrase is you risk your own glass house being pelted, correct? The glass house, in this case, being atrocities each government is implicated in?

I'm fine with all the atrocities being called out. Otherwise, how do we learn not to do them anymore?

Honestly, even with an ulterior motive, I see no reason they shouldn't.

It might be, but the *mods*! Modpacks are most of what my kids and I play!

Like I said, we mostly prefer the look and feel of GDLauncher, seems like it fits the Deck's environment better. New mod packs are super easy to find and install though, and Java versioning is pretty much invisible for us!

I actually haven't had any complaints using the Steam deck control schema, once I got one set up that the kids and I liked. What's Bedrock do that you haven't been able to get on Java edition?

It's easier to use on the deck, mostly - I have Prism on my deck as well, but it's oriented more towards a full desktop experience. Smaller icons, mouse-oriented menus that can be tricky to click on, that kind of thing. Before I figured this out, we'd use Prism when they really wanted newer Minecraft features, but they never really dug into mod packs on it like they do in GDLauncher.

Per the article, he's been taking classes remotely since the fall? Was trying to figure out if he'd arrived safely, but I'm not clear if he's giving up on being able to return safely, or stay here safely.
