Over the last week or so, I went to Gamescom to represent SteamDeckHQ, and it was a blast. I got to see so many awesome games and talk to many developers and publishers, and the majority of them were either very receptive, optimistic, or have already started implementing Steam Deck support!

In our article, we go over some examples, as well as me being known as "The Steam Deck Guy." Though one I am happy to share is that the upcoming Epic Mickey Rebrushed will have full Steam Deck support at launch, and playing it on the Deck at Gamescom was phenomenal.

There's much more we go into detail with in the article, but in the end, it's looking very optimistic for Steam Deck support for future games.

Most people don't know Linux. Those that do know it for the bad rep it has. Steam decks are the easiest way to explain that Linux isn't as complicated as arch and isn't as unusable as macOS for gaming

Steam deck convinced me to try Linux. I installed Mint on saturday and I'm pretty happy.

Sad that Adobe doesn't work well with it, but everything else seemed pretty hassle free

Funny you mentioned arch, as steam deck os is based on arch, so it is using arch btw

It’s true! And it’s awesome to see so many people coming around to how great Linux can be.
