Getting Started With The Steam Deck Desktop

BY podiki April 27, 2022 3 Comments

What is a bigger deal, that Valve’s Steam Deck plays Elden Ring from day one (and even better than on Windows!), or that it is a full-fledged Linux computer in handheld form? Okay, probably Elden Ring, but I know many… Continue Reading →

All Hands on Deck: Preparing for the Steam Deck

BY podiki February 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

Proton vs Native: Is There Really A Difference?

BY podiki February 9, 2022 5 Comments

The debate over emulation or translation and native games is at least as old as projects like Wine for Linux, and more generally as old as gaming platforms. More recently Proton and DXVK are the stars, but there have been… Continue Reading →

We had a chance to have a quick Q&A with a developer, who asked to remain anonymous, with hands-on access to the developer kit of the Steam Deck. Because of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), they couldn’t comment on every question… Continue Reading →

BY podiki October 10, 2021 5 Comments
