  • This is false. All of the device drivers for the steam deck hardware are open source and included in the Linux kernel, and you can Literally just boot directly from a live USB and install whatever distro you want, it’s just a very small laptop inside a console shell essentially. I think Valve even worked with Microsoft to get the hardware working correctly under windows because from what I’ve heard, the Steam Deck experience under windows is much better than at launch (I’m not 100% confident on that tho).

    It’s literally just a PC.







  • Try setting it to use proton experimental, newer games sometimes depend on features that aren’t in the stable versions of proton yet (or are at least buggier/worse in the stable versions)

    Edit: also try launching the game from desktop mode. The compositor in steam mode is Wayland-based and desktop mode uses an X11 session by default. The issues you’re describing sound a bit like something that’s happened to me running games under Wayland on my laptop
