I got it to work on Bazzite after hours of research into understanding how to convince Steam to actually pass the HDR data between the game and my monitor. Then one day Bazzite just decided it didn’t want to recognize that my monitor was an HDR monitor. I haven’t felt like looking into it lately because the research I did spend hours doing led me to finding piecemeal information about how the underlying systems of Proton and gamescope work through the breadcrumbs of information I can find in Linux forums.
I desperately want to enjoy using Linux but the lack of comprehensive documentation that appears relevant to a user’s situation makes it incredibly frustrating
@mesamunefire@themadcodger in tunisia at least, the number one way to play games is:-through piracy (I hate piracy but if you are born in tunisia then it is very very hard to pay for anything virtual like games) -via launchers like Battle.net for HS -via custom .exe like for Project Celeste… in short Steam is not the only way to get games, Steam OS and by consequence the Steamdeck is not even officialy on sale in tunisia anywhere and going to desktop mode requires intellect which is not common
I’ll install it on my gaming desktop day 1…
Any big distro will do now, maybe no HDR.
Works with Wayland btw, though still experimental

Yea I use Mint. So I’m kinda already there.
If you haven’t already, take a look at Bazzite for your desktop. I’ve actually replaced SteamOS with it.
What’s the benefit of the os vs say steam os?

Interesting. Yeah I can see that being an issue.
I’ve heard it can be hard to get a steam deck or steam deck adjacent machines outside official stores.
Ill take a look today!
