The recent news that SteamOS may soon be shipped with third-party devices could be particularly important for Linux gaming on desktops.

Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn’t precisely say they’re starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    Sorry to continue harassing you about it!

    I’m going to be going Linux only in the near future. Do you know if that software is Linux/deck compatible?

      When I tried it a year or two ago, no. But the Deck wasn’t as popular, so who knows now?

      I’ve also read that you can maybe update the firmware with fwupd over a wired connection, but I haven’t been able to verify.
