"I spent the afternoon playing games in Steam on Linux and everything worked perfectly" was a much more impressive statement before the Steam Deck came along, but I am still amazed and just how well things have progressed.

All but one game I tried worked without any changes, one I had to nudge to use Proton Experimental. Graphics quality was great, too, but I wasn't playing anything that drove it too hard. Just a few things like Balatro, Peglin, and Wingspan.

@jimp I've only had to give up on one game, which I'd say is pretty good. It also runs things like Fallout 3 that modern Windows machines struggle with!

@SimpleEasyLinux The Steam Deck itself is a very impressive device. Shame the hardware market blew up before they could get the Steam Machine out.

The fact that all their effort has carried over to other random distros and hardware and still works so well is a huge achievement, too. I expected more trouble from this laptop running KDE Neon, but it all worked with very little effort.

@jimp I'm more lukewarm on the software than most, but I do like the hardware; though the software side is definitely a big win for Linux gaming. Plus, consulting ProtonDB has never been easier with their steam deck section!
