Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

I'm very happy to higher the percentage as opposed to the mere 45% from last year. I can't even recall which games I've played were on Windows, maybe a bit of Hunt: Showdown in the early 2024. Oh and the VR % was on Linux too :3
EDIT: Last year's result was 65% not 45. And this year's Windows playtime is at only 4% ^^
My chart would be even more skewed to the Deck.
The Deck is amazing with young kids around. Desktop gaming sessions are impossible until after their bedtime. Being able to pickup and play and put the console to standby in an instant and move to another room with the kids is amazing. I wouldn't get any game time if I didn't have a portability.
It really helps that I almost exclusively play Indies which the Deck is really perfect for.
