This was already covered in a video by Dave2d (Lemmy discussion here), but it's great to see more widespread coverage of how great performance is for SteamOS vs windows.
Some highlights:
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Lots of other games to play.
Single-player? Absolutely. Multiplayer though? Outside of fighting games, indie games, and anything made by Valve, it's increasingly difficult to find any multiplayer game that works on Linux, and even those that still work can have the multiplayer yanked off down the line like what happened with Apex Legends.
