  It’s alright, those games are all Steam Deck verified so they’ll play just fine.

  Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was a childhood favourite of mine that I played when I was 6 in the mid-late 00s and the remaster just came out yesterday! It’s a fun 3D platformer from the 90s that was on the PS1/PC and was mainly made for kids. On PC it’s a GOG exclusive though, so you’d have to set up Heroic Games Launcher to download the game, then add the game manually to your Steam library if you don’t want your child messing around with desktop mode. I think it’s very suitable for his age. The original game had tank controls which he might not like if he’s used to modern game controls, but the new remaster has the option for full dual analogue stick controls which makes it feel like a normal modern game to control. I run a Linux desktop and the game works perfectly on the newest Proton version.

  Oof. Unless that’s the only Switch game you play, you are going to have a hard time realising that Switch emulation isn’t far developed enough yet for you to play a lot of your games without issues and just throw away your real Switch. Plus, Nintendo’s takedowns of Yuzu and Ryujinx last year massively slowed down development.

  Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to make it sound like it was distro-speciffic, I just think that Bazzite was the primary platform target originally (but I might be wrong)

  I didn’t agree with it being a paid product either. And I might have been misunderstanding so don’t take my word on this, but I think it was originally open source and free (at least in money, not sure about freedom) for those running Bazzite Linux and that they planned to keep supporting that version, so I feel like all that would do for the Steam Deck is incentivize people to install Bazzite Linux on it so that it would work.

  Lol, I like the warmness of headphones on my head. And I hate sitting at my computer without wearing headphones because it’s harder to concentrate with the extra noise around me that the headphones would otherwise block (I live next to a highway) In fact, I’m sitting at my computer with headphones right now, and I haven’t listened to anything through them, lol.
