It is now literally the #1 way of gaming on Linux in Steam stats and keeps pushing more people to understand Linux and want to use it elsewhere. You’re damn right it excites me and I use it for the majority of my gaming.

@gamingonlinux ? I've been following you have have been subscribed for a while now. Some games that run great on steam deck have other issues outside of the steam decks os. Every video of yours is about the stream deck specifically. It was a joke, not a specific prod or complaint. There are some of us that feel left out but have no desire to own a steamdeck.

@gamingonlinux Anything that helps drive support for my computer sounds good to me. SteamOS has been a potential catalyst for more linux adoption for a long time. It sounds like Steam Deck is finally the product that will get people to start using it.

@gamingonlinux SteamDeck is a big part of why so many more commercial games now have usable Linux ports. There are plenty of things I don't particularly like about Steam, but it's clearly a big part of 'gaming on linux' (as opposed to e.g. "open source gaming"). But yeah, keep doing what you do and if people don't find it interesting they don't have to follow 🤷‍♂️

@gamingonlinux GamingOnSteamDeckWithSteamOsPlusGnuLinux should please the crowds.

Then you cover all bases.

@gamingonlinux This is my setup at a recent gaming convention where I could implement feedback as people played and push updates over wifi to a stock Deck without special tools. It’s so very Linux! (Also pictured a S76 Lemur, a Fedora machine, and an RPi4 for the display. :D)

@gamingonlinux Some people will always find something to complain about. Especially stupid in this case since 99% of what happens for the Deck is also beneficial to any Linux computer for gaming…

@gamingonlinux
As linux is only the kernel, I think you should better rename to "GamingOnGnu/LinuxOnSteamDeckOnArchBased+Systemd+ProtonWithWaylandCompositorGamescope+Pipewire..."

@gamingonlinux The Steam Deck being a product that's still rolling out its availability & has good reviews, it seems to me that those who have it should simply be happy they do. Those on Linux who don't, should likewise be happy at how quickly and consistently the platform is receiving benefit. It's a win-win, and it's rare that we get a halo effect (no pun intended, hence no capitalization) that does not need to be COMPLETELY commercialized to hardware we don't all have.

@gamingonlinux People don't seem to get that the stability and reality of Linux gaming fucking skyrocketed with the Steam Deck harder than diamonds.

Not only that, but, while I don't have a Steam Deck myself, people with one are my go-to to know if something truly works. If it works on Deck, then God damn it it's gonna work on my Arch desktop

@gamingonlinux As others have said, the Linux community owe thanks to Valve for all their work on Proton, for upstreaming most of that back into Wine, and for supporting CodeWeavers who do the same. "Runs on Steam Deck" but that almost always just means "runs on Proton" which actually means "runs on my computer". That's just awesome!

@gamingonlinux lol i don't get it why people always want to limited there self ^^

@gamingonlinux I have to testify, I'm a gamer and a software developer, and I have to dual boot on my gaming desktop PC, programming on Win is such a hassle, cmd.exe is less fun than bash, strange virtualization requirements, ads in explorer.exe, etc.
So I got a SD recently and I think I'm gonna use it to code soon, I noticed I barely use my PC, I'll see in the long run.
Your channel is the most useful for SD to me, and I love that it's about Linux Gaming and not just the SD!

@gamingonlinux the Linux purists have no limit to their purity test.
