    They are “going hard” the way I see it. Without Valve doing legwork behind the scenes and collaborating with anticheat developers we wouldn’t even have Apex Legends running on Linux like we’ve had for a year and a half. They’ve been talking about wanting to use Linux as a viable PC gaming platform to escape Microsofts lockdown of their platform since the days of Steam Machines when Windows 8 and the new store app were giving bad signs.

    Either way Valve would be silly not to provide a compatible way to use Windows on the Deck. Even though the situation is much better these days, they know very well that a lot of enthusiast PC gamers would be dismissive of the Deck if Windows couldn’t work properly on it and that word of mouth would bring less confidence in the product.

      Does EAC work correctly playing Apex Legends under Linux? If it does I’ll download the game tonight.
