  With windows 10 EOL on the horizon, I need steam OS to come out for desktop soon. I beg you lord Gaben. 👁️

      Have been on Bazzite for about a year now at this point and I love it. Everything just works for the most part, and the things that are more annoying can still be worked around easily enough.

      Started dual booting CachyOS recently and am loving that as well. Definitely weird at first to use the terminal to install things but super satisfying once you get the hang of it. Feels slightly faster than Bazzite on my pc, I’ve been using it more often then Bazzite the past month or so.

      But I definitely recommend Bazzite for anyone hesitasting about switching, it’s a great OS the Bazzite forums are friendly and helpful when you run into issues.

    Bazzite is basically SteamOS for desktop. Linux is highly flexible in general though, it’s not that important which one you pick most of the time.

    I would also like to recommend Zorin for new Linux users, it’s super easy to windows users to swap to and have a good experience.

      Yeah, great idea, just recommend them the 2. worst OS ever

      Zorins advertising, that it can run just like Windows, just sets the User up for failure. Also its Apps are a mix of bleeding edge and Debian 11. it dosent even give you security fixes right away because you have to buy their pro version

      Do they develop their own tools/patches or what do they bundle as office and creative suite in their Pro version?

  I wish I could have protondb badges inside the desktop steam client.

  Would be nice if this worked with linux in general.

    If you install Decky there’s a plugin that does exactly this that can be installed from the plugin manager (github.com/OMGDuke/protondb-decky)

      I want this on my desktop, in not big picture mode. I already know it can be done on the deck.

    There’s a plugin for SteamOS that does this, I’m on Bazzite and it works very well.

      In desktop mode, on the desktop client, outside big picture mode?

  Now if only there was a way to report false steam deck compatibility badges

  • Corigan@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You can’t? Every time I play a game the library page gives me the option to weigh in if the rating was valid, and to leave feedback if it wasn’t.

    source

    • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think that only applies to still unfinished ratings. Once it’s done, it’s done

      Gloomhaven for example doesn’t launch at all. But there’s no way to report this. Even the support couldn’t help
