Steam Deck hits 15,000 games rated Playable and Verified
Valve's popular Linux-powered gaming handheld the Steam Deck has hit a new milestone, with 15,000 games now rated either Playable or Verified. And it continues to sell well.
I don't tend to rely as much on Valve's compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB's. Even though it takes extra steps.
44DeckyLoader has a plugin to display a protonDB badge in the store, and tapping it is a shortcut to the game's protonDB page.
Very handy.
33I rely on "not a multiplayer game, should work".

This is more directed at desktop linux, but some solutions around the current kernel anti-cheat systems that lock out linux would be great!
14The problem with that is that is hard to experiment with too
Test devices get banned constantly, and the companies behind those systems really don't like other companies trying to poke around it
8Yes, I absolutely understand the challenge. It just sucks that corpos have that kind of leverage to keep people on windows. In an ideal world gamers would stop playing League after they go live with their stupid Vanguard BS, but in the end we get some rants on r*ddit and most people still continue playing.

They will never allow it. Windows itself is only getting more locked down so they will rely on that fact.

Never found a single game that doesn't work. Fantastic job.

7Love to see it - it's really a fanatic device.
3Mine died 9 months out of warranty, last week they told me over the phone that apparently the firmware got corrupted and they have to reprogram it, and it will cost $120 USD + tax + shipping (+ import fees of course). I haven't heard anything else yet. I sent it off for RMA back on May 7, so it's been a little while lol
1What were the symptoms? Firmware corrupted? As in BIOS/UEFI? Did this happen randomly?
1The symptoms were the internal display went black after an automatic firmware update (you can't disable firmware updates, they happen automatically) and never came on again, and then external display also went black after working only once. The device would power on, you would hear the fans running, but there was no display and no startup chime.
