You can Play Chuzzle Deluxe on linux<br> * No big features, just game specific fixes.<br> * WHAR spoodermang fixes?<br> * That is a fat chunk of what was in Experimental.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog/_compare/80fb5e24583b4c818b40d175b5b3ff1c906c0046...570b871c30fe28c0a21dc3d0b170ba37a80c3709">Experimental</a><br> <br> * Re-Volt and Vermintide 2 have been fixed.<br> * I would strongly recommend you use Luxtorpeda and set Re-Volt to run with RVGL.<br> * It runs much better on the Deck.<br> * Cutscenes in Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen should be slightly less choppy now.<br> * Halo Infinite gets ingame on AMD. GE has had it running for a while, but it’s good to see mainline proton catching up<br> * Apparently Vermintide is still a little unstable if you’re not the host<br> * Elite dangerous is still borked for me<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/thexpaw/status/1559809290860388353?t=DFlvH-Sf2xcHLOQWaTw-iw&s=19">Steam numbers</a><br> <br> * Valve is working on a “year in review” page for the winter sale.<br> * So far it indicates playtime and total sessions for the year.<br> * Deck playtime is one of the metrics and that’s worth watching out for. <br> * This is per user as of right now.<br> * Those numbers you see were just from the xPaw himself.<br> * Though, I do hope someone will figure out a way to get the info of that out of at least the public SteamIDs.<br> * It would be great to see those deck numbers vs. the mac and desktop Linux numbers.<br> <br> <br> Steam: New Games<br> <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1514950/Neodash/">Neodash</a><br> <br> * Distance minus the multiplayer<br> * More physics platformer with wheels. <br> * I think I played this during the snek peek event a while back. <br> * One dude spent the last two years making this. <br> * Single player and clocking in at a hefty 1.
