Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

I'm very happy to higher the percentage as opposed to the mere 45% from last year. I can't even recall which games I've played were on Windows, maybe a bit of Hunt: Showdown in the early 2024. Oh and the VR % was on Linux too :3
EDIT: Last year's result was 65% not 45. And this year's Windows playtime is at only 4% ^^
How is it? My Steam Deck is my only non-openSUSE device (TW on desktop and laptop, Leap on NAS and VPS), but I've been too lazy to reinstall.
I had to do some manual work. I mainly did it to get full disk encryption working. Getting that with an on screen keyboard running was a pain in the ass. I probably made a post about it, I'm too lazy to look for it now.
I also was too lazy to hook up a keyboard. But I could run the installer from the Gnome live boot because that seems to be the only one with a working on screen keyboard.
For day-to-day operation I use KDE with Steam running in the background for the keyboard, similar to the desktop mode on SteamOS. I did copy the setup for gaming mode over but I never use it.
