> While it's a bit like throwing some coins into a well and making a wish, I'm not going to stop you if you want to give it a shot to win a Steam Deck, or a big bundle of games if you manage to find a golden egg in the Fanatical Mystery Egg Bundle.
> A freshly squeezed cup of Proton Experimental was released today by Valve containing fixes for multiple games on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux like Overwatch 2.
> Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver have now finally released Dead Island 2 on Steam, after previously being Epic Games exclusive and they're boasting about Steam Deck support.
> Finally! Valheim is getting close to the release of the big Ashlands update, and now you can go and actually test it.
> Embracer Group have announced that after being the cause of many job losses, shutting down developers and selling some off - they're now splitting into three companies.
> Sunshine when paired up with Moonlight offers a great way to stream games from your PC to pretty much any other system, and the latest release v0.23.1 should work better on Linux now.

> Therefore, for system administrators and other users who enjoy operating from the terminal, this often involves spending a significant amount of time there, which many find uninteresting or even boring.
Notebookcheck:
> The Steam Deck has been a massive step towards getting Linux gaming into the mainstream, with recent reports putting but even before that, ProtonDB was helping Linux gamers know what games they can and can't run on their open-source operating systems. While ProtonDB is a must-have resource for Linux gaming, its crowd-sourced compatibility reporting and rating structure are flawed. Some games that are listed as playable are, in fact, not at all.
> ProtonDB allows players to report, in great detail, their experience running games on Linux, along with whatever troubleshooting steps they had to take to get the game working properly. Games are given a compatibility rating based on a medal system, which ProtonDB explains as follows
