    Can’t wait for someone to make an installer for the Miyoo Mini to make that device even more confused about itself.

      Iirc, the requirement is basically a computing device than runs using AMD processor (I forgot about the GPU part, but maybe it must be AMD too), and uses NVME SSD. So, most modern system?

        Yeah but I’m sure it’s probably hardware limited for now specifically to that handheld. Awaiting further information

          Ahh, yes. I read the official installation and it is indeed written in bold. AMD hardware with NVME drive targeted towards handheld. Yeah, would be nice for generic desktop too for living room PC.

      That would be awesome, but sadly the biggest shift wont happen until the major anti cheats start supporting proton.

        It’s even worse.

        They are adding Linux support - but only if it detects you are running the exact model of OLED screen as Steam Deck has on SteamDeck, and blocks every other Linux device.

        EDIT: There is some kind of hardware validation that can’t be easily spoofed, I vaguely remember reading it was based on the screen HW, but that’s beside the point.

          This doesn’t seem accurate — what about the basic, non-oled, steam deck?

          (Yes the em-dash was intentional, I like them better than hyphens for division in sentences, don’t @ me I’m not a bot)

            You are right, edited. I remember reading somewhere that they do hardware-based whitelisting, and that it was based on the screen’s HW, but the point was that they can (and a lot of game unfortunately do) somehow whitelist Steamdeck only, while still not letting desktop Linux play.

        I assumed that most major anti-cheat systems now provide an option for Proton but many game developers don’t enable it.

    Took a while, as we was waiting for this since the launch of the Steam Deck. Now the floodgate is open.

    The obligatory The Year Of Linux. :D
