Veotax posted:So how does Proton work? I've never used Linux so I've never looked into it. Would more or less any Windows app be able to run through it? So in Linux, there is this Windows-compatibility package, and rather long lived project, called Wine. It translates Win32 API calls to stuff Linux understands and allows you to run most Windows software that isn't a DRM-riddled mess. When Vulcan, the graphic API layer, showed up a few years back, Valve worked on a DirectX 12 translation API to convert those calls to Vulcan and they built it on top of Wine. That is Proton. Since Proton is game-tailored, you are better off installing a package like Lutris to install extra Windows software.

Floob posted:I am wondering if Everquest will play, or Eve Online. MMOs generally fall under the "it's DRMed to hell and back and likely will not work". However, it's soon to say if the new Proton that will be unveiled at launch will have the miracle cure to solve all of those issues. Probably not. Single player games, old and new, are probably your best. Currently, EverQuest does not work. EVE Online used to work fine, but four days ago they released an update that borked the whole thing and currently only works on an older version of Proton.

I have a bunch of JRPGs and VNs that I just really can't commit to these days sitting on a desk in front of a keyboard. The Deck would be great for those. And whatever else cool indie thing that would play great on mobile.

You use ScummVM to play these and they all should work out of the box in Linux. In fact, I think most of the old adventure games that are still being sold digitally come prepacked with ScummVM.

How's the suspend mode in this thing? And how does it work when an online connection is not active all the time (desktop Steam is awful about this)? Like, any handhelds I've ever played games on since the DS era, I keep the same game running for days and just suspend/resume here and there, especially with VNs and JRPGs, and if the Deck can't do this properly then yikes.

They not only will not ever put Fortnite on Steam, but they also buy developers like the Rocket League and Fall Guys studios, and then remove their games from Steam, along with the older Unreal games too, because gently caress you that's why. A 20% of 0 earnings is, I believe, 0. But correct me if I'm wrong Tim Epic. Cut your nose to spite your face.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I played my switch lite for the first time last night after getting the deck and it feels absolutely tiny compared to the deck. And that's funny because the Lite is already bigger than the PS Vita (considered "big" at the time) and the RP3+ (considered medium sized among its brethren). It's amazing how our perceptions keep changing from day to day.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Is Minecraft Java viable on the Deck, or am I best off running a Windows install from an SD card and doing it from there? I remember having an absolute nightmare of a time adding Minecraft to Steam and using Steam Input in the past, but maybe things have changed. I don't know the answer to this question, but I remember Minecraft Java was discontinued sort of recently? I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the best bet to having a modern Minecraft running on the Deck would be using a Switch emulator.
