This news mainly concerns Steam Deck users, as the dev team has been packaging it for pretty much every common packaging format out there (Appimage, .deb, .rpm, .pacman and also .exe and .dmg for Windows and Mac users).

Overall a great addition to Linux gaming in general!

    Electron. LOL. Now I can’t believe that they are actually triying to compete against steam…

      Tbh the steam client also sucks a lot. It looks and behaves weird on a WM plus uses its own notifications for some reason

        Right? We tend to overlook a lot of the problems with Steam due to the respect they got with all their efforts into improving Linux in general, but if you look at it it’s pretty clear that the app was made 10 years ago and not improved much when it comes to proper Linux desktop standards ever since.

      Just a reminder that HGL is also written in Electron.

      It’s just a matter of well written code and UI/UX.
