Comment on Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
drislands@lemmy.world 2 months agoThis is just my experience, but I have had next to zero issues running games on the Deck that were related to the platform. Most problems I’ve encountered are along the lines of the game being KBM-centric and it being difficult to play with the controller inputs.
The only Linux-specific issues I can’t think of are related to trying to install or mod games outside of Steam (Skyrim in particular is far more difficult to mod on Linux than I expected).

Like, can you run gamepass games on there and Blizzard games right from steamOS? What about games from the Epic launcher?
This is what I’m referring to when is say it restricts games you can play. Steam games mostly run pretty well.

There are easy ways to install and integrate epic games for play into the steam UI (on steam deck). I am playing remnant from ashes multiplayer on it everyday.

All fair. I haven’t tried either with the Deck, though that’s more because I don’t want to try games from either platform with a controller. I have had success running both on my Linux desktop, though.
