  • That’s what the “verified for deck” is for in steam. In my experience every game works that fulfills these criteria:

    A. Is not one of a few competitive multiplayer games that have decided to not allow Linux players to play. Among these are Destiny 2 and PUBG for example.

    B. Does not require mouse and keyboard (and even then the touchpads and steam input sometimes makes it work anyways)

    C. Is not VR (for obvious reasons)

    If you are unsure you can also check protondb which someone else linked.



  • Enabled it in-game. Tried default setting at first then raised the in-game max brightness from 1000 nits to 1200 nits to see if there was a difference but there wasn’t.

    I just tried raising the deck brightness and that actually made it look a bit better. I feel kinda dumb now that I didn’t try that before. Still not the amazing difference people made it out to be but i could actually see a little bit of difference now, at least when I look at something bright.












  • I had a surface pro 4 with Linux for several years. The install process is a bit annoying since you need to get the custom surface kernel but other than that it worked great. I had a lot of issues with the hardware (unrelated to Linux), but I’ve heard that it has gotten better with the newer versions
