just fired up alpha protocol and it booted right up. had to manually bring up the cursor and select gamepad from the settings, but after that this game, which has been delisted for years, ran flawlessly.
no idea what all those needs hollering about flatpacks are talking about, but this thing is magic.

The amount of people who play the switch a lot and also are totally cool with configuring an emulator on a Linux machine without a physical keyboard is, and I'm just speculating here, maybe over-represented on this 2000-era discussion board.

the amount of people who want a cool powerful handheld that can run new aaa games and have no desire to engage with the linux side of things is also, probably, underrepresented thin this thread.

It's funny that Resident Evil 3 remake is still listed as not supported when it's probably one of the most flawless modern AAA games you can run on deck. It's almost indistinguishable from the PS5 version or it running on my PC at a rock solid 60fps. It's honestly probably the top games I would use to show off the steam deck.

this is the case for quite a few games. I have yet to install anything that required any amount of finagling to work and many of the ones I've tried have a little 🚫 next to their verified status

(for the SC you just wanted to set it so that the gyro only worked if you had a thumb resting on the right pad. I'm hoping I can do the same with the right stick on the SD.)

the thumbsticks, as well as the touchpads, are capacitive and can enable gyro on touch

I picked up a stylus for point n click adventure games, but that idea fell apart pretty quickly. the only disappointing part of the deck, but the touchpads work well enough

No I think people are just figuring out where they're comfortable taking a hit on specs to save money. Not everybody is going to want to crack open their Deck to start replacing parts but luckily the option is there for people who do.
