The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience

An Asus ROG Ally X running Bazzite has all but replaced the Steam Deck in my life.

    There’s nothing stopping epic or GOG from distributing a flatpak for their experiences/stores, the question is where are they?

        I’m aware, I just like to gently remind people that the stores they want to shop from, seemingly don’t want their money. I view the deck as a kind of linux trojan horse for gaming, SteamOS on more devices could at least convince GOG that linux is worth supporting.

        Epic has an axe to grind and I expect nothing from them.

            Why? I claim them all the time on my phone, and occasionally play them through Heroic. I’ve never installed EGS on any of my devices, but I’ve played a few through Steam’s integration.

            A free game is a free game, but I’ll never buy from EGS while they’re so hostile to my preferred platform: Linux. I’ll occasionally buy from GOG, but honestly, their DRM-free schtick isn’t nearly as valuable to me as Valve’s investment in Linux.

          So, they ignore Canada and refuse to support the people there. Greaaat.
