The system also does pretty well in the long tail. There's even a set of older (and some newer) games that run better than they do on modern versions of Windows - not a huge number, but not nothing and probably growing over time.
At this point, the largest problem left to solve is perhaps achieving pervasive support for anti-cheat middleware by multiplayer games, which requires vendor participation. A few have started collaborating, but there is more to do on this front.
(Disclaimer: I work on KDE and worked a small bit on the Deck at some point.)

- sho_hn 4y agoBeg your pardon?
- Thaxll 4y agoOut of those 75% some of them don't work properly as they do on Windows.
- sho_hn 4y agoAh, gotcha. Yeah, I agree, there's a gulf between "Playable" and "Verified" and the latter is a much smaller % (the source has numbers at least).
- phanimahesh 4y agoPlayable is good enough. It may have small text, keyboard only references in text, or other minor annoyances but a playable game does work on deck. On desktop or laptop linux for many of them you may not notice any issues at all.
