Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoWhile I love my Steam Deck, I always give the caveat that it’s best for 2D-rendered games. While it can run 3D games, it doesn’t do it particularly well and has terrible battery life while doing so. Meanwhile every 2D game gets great performance and 3-4 hours of battery even on the oldest Steam Decks, and that’s not going to change anytime soon

Huh? Plays Baldur’s Gate 3, Oblivion Remastered, and Clair Obscur Expedition 33 fine for me

Define “fine”.
If your standard is 30fps, not particularly good latency, and 1.5hr battery life then yes, they’re fine.
If your standard is 60 fps and >3hr battery, then no, they are not fine.
My preference is stable 60fps and >3hr battery, and I have yet to see a 3D game do that well
