Shan @lemmy.world Steamdeck has done such good things for Linux gaming, it’s like an overnight shift in development attitudes and I love it.

The Steam Deck may not have a ton of users, but enough that developers are willing to put in a little more effort to ensure compatibility.

Molecular0079 @lemmy.world I really hope the momentum continues. Part of me is worried that the Asus ROG Ally is eating into that momentum.

chronicledmonocle @lemmy.world I built a new PC with the intention of adding a second drive for Windows. It's been two weeks of gaming and I haven't gotten around to it yet. Might never.

Sadly that won't work for all games. If I remember correctly, Rainbow Six Siege has VM detection and might ban you for that

We've a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.

I would it is a higher percentage compared to the population that does not have a steam deck. Still a majority of Steam Deck + Windows PC owners though.
