  To be fair that icon doesn’t mean much of anything cuz you can just force compatibility in Linux and use proton, you just gotta manually do that in properties.

  This is probably windows only because of kernel level anticheat though so it probably still holds up.

  What computers and airconditioners have in common is that they become useless when you open windows.

    I suppose we just have to hope the air conditioner doesn't suddenly hit us with a BSOD!

        I'm pretty sure they do already have AI integration on the latest models..

  I haven‘t encountered a Steam game that doesn‘t run on Linux so far. They very likely exist but anti cheat, third party account requirements, or an online connection while playing don‘t have anything to do with it as far as my games go. Same goes for GOG, Amazon Games and Epic Games on Heroic launcher. It just works as far as I can tell.

    You are lucky then. If you play lots of multiplayer games you are bound to encounter one that doesn’t work.

    Most modern Call of Duty and Battlefield games do not work for example.

    According to areweanticheatyet.com only 40% of Games with Anti cheat work on Linux…

      It would never occur to me to install CoD or Battlefield in the year 2025. So yeah, Guess I am lucky for having standards. Hopefully more people will realize there are other fantastic multiplayer games out there that run on a Steamdeck for example.

  Nearly all games with a online pvp mode run on windows.

    Not fully true. Yes a lot of games run on Windows.. But a lot of them also run on Linux, in some cases even Native, in other cases using Wine/Proton from Valve. See: https://www.protondb.com/

    A lot of online pvp games do work under Linux as well. But then again.. AAA games are the most problematic.. because they just stuck, and get ignored by the devs/publishers. I'm looking at you EA!
