@BrodieOnLinux I recently decided to take the jump and move away from windows and try Linux on my gaming desktop. Partly due to how everything works on the Steamdeck. Sadly, I was shocked to find out that it seems to have “special” settings for Steamdeck. On Steam within Linux, I’m told it only works on Windows or Mac. :(

@BrodieOnLinux I never trust second hand cpus unless I’m buying from a trusted friend. Too vital a part to not be able to fully trust it. Personally I just look at a rough 10 year replacement cycle for cpu and motherboard, so I’ll be replacing my own Haswell this January.

@BrodieOnLinux one pet peeve I have with steam is, there are games that I can run fine on the Steamdeck, but steam on a regular Linux disto claims it’s windows only and won’t let me even install the game. :(

@BrodieOnLinux I’ll have another check, and I’m open for anyone to correct me - but I’ve ran into it with a few games. Path of Exile being one example. Thankfully, there is a non-steam client for that, which most Linux guides I’ve seen end up saying to use instead.

@BrodieOnLinux just as a follow up for this, after your response I decided to check all the options in steam on Linux to see what I might be missing.Seems that “enable steam play for all other titles” defaults to off at least on my distribution.So I take it back. No pet-peeve with steam. Now it’s just with many Linux “guides” that don’t even mention to check that option. Thank you again. :)
