I’m here to stay.
That’s true. But there are legit ways to purchase Roms and extract them for use in your favorite emulator. In example the SNES Classic console from Nintendo, or the Genesis and Sega Games collection on Steam. If I were to buy Castlevania Advance, I would probably extract the Roms for use in RetroArch.
Maybe Emulation is something you would look into? I actually prefer emulating the games myself, over playing the official Steam version (not at least because of the Shaders). Also there are lot of Mods (also known as Romhacks) for these games.
I imagine they must have given these are playable on PC, and doing them with a mouse would be just short of impossible.
The Steam Input system allows you to customize controls with lot of features available. So if they butcher this up, you have at least tools built into the Steam Deck to customize it. But it requires some time and effort, and that’s not always someone wants to put into to play a classic game.
Version numbers are basically meaningless.
That was my exact same thoughts.
- Notes are now available on the web! You can find them on the games list. Select the “Games” option under your profile name, then find the new “My Notes” option on the “My Game Content” menu. They will be added to the Steam Mobile app in a future update.
Makes notes much more useful if you have a Desktop Pc and a Steam Deck. It would be nice if the notes could be accessed directly on the store page too.
I would like to have that too. When I looked (oh god its already a year ago) couldn’t find any. I’ve created a control scheme that I would like to share and its fairly complex. Having a standardized files to edit for sharing, or better yet, convert directly from Steam and export to an image (.png or .svg) would be great.
Anyway, no solution, just expressing my interest. I actually want to write a manual for the control scheme.

Please do not make a SteamOS exclusive game. I love Linux and Steam Deck, but this is not a good idea to exclude Windows users from playing the game.
Hmm sounds reasonable. After my question I was reading the original news from Archlinux and the following statement
In order to not break user setups, we kept these repositories around in an unused and empty state.
suggest that the empty and unused repositories have no effect. I don’t know why they kept this, because removing them would break back then. Removing them now breaks it today, so not sure why they delayed that, as nothing is won. I will uncomment out (Edit: I meant I will comment out) those lines and see what happens. :D In worst case the system cannot update and I can reverse the change. But there is no reason why the system should not able to update, if the repositories are empty.
Another Edit: Me dummy don’t have any [community] repository. Not sure if I removed it before (very possible) or if it is removed by my distribution (please don’t hurt me, I’m just using EndeavourOS).
Should we remove old repositories NOW or wait until update 2025-03-01 and then remove them?
It’s probably for the best for everyone involved.
Ayaneo Next II seems to have two trackpads and Lenovo Legion Go 2 only one.
Agreed. The touchpads are one of the key points why the Deck is so great to me. I could live with only one, but it really requires at least one touchpad; ideally two.
I still think Valve need to release the SD2 soon before these manufacturers eat their dinner.
The other PC handhelds aren’t really competitors in the classical sense. Valve can (unlike the consoles) wait and release the Steam Deck 2 whenever it is ready. No need to rush and make it bad. Remember, most people buying a PC handheld to play PC games will probably install Steam. And it does not make any difference for Valve if they purchased the game on Steam Deck or any other PC system, as the price cut is the same across hardware.
Sure, Valve wants to sell and control the PC handheld as much as possible. But bringing out any new device is not that urgent right now. Valve got already what they want; the Steam Deck is the default target by developers, when it comes to PC handheld.
Last 6 Months: I don’t know when, but Mint finally beat the “extremely popular” distribution MX Linux. Good to see that EndeavourOS is right after it on place 3. Ubuntu still not very popular on place 8, but might climb up soon after the new release. Archlinux is on place 67, because nobody uses it; even Gentoo is more popular on place 63.
Obviously I don’t take this too seriously.
Numerous games received improvements in Mesa 25.0, including …, Marvel Rivals, …
My hope is that Mesa 25 will fix the crashes lot of us have on Marvel Rivals. Fingers crossed 🤞
Similarly, there’s a strong possibility that GIMP 3.0 will be included with Ubuntu 25.04, as the third (and final) release candidate (RC3) has appeared
I would not bet any Bitcoin on this one. :p
The actual bug report you should link to: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6701
2 weeks ago I got a Steam survey on my Steam Deck. Hope it helped.
