In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.

Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.

Gaben, throw us a bone here pls.

    Its funny that only people who didnt play 100% of games on linux(excluding steamdeck) can make posts about how much they played on linux

      Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they’re the same thing.

      But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.

    I switched to Linux after the Recall junk, and one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!)

    It’s weird that the graph does not show my steam deck at all. I got it around launch, then got my wife one too. Now she runs Linux on her computer too.

      Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.

      Google photos on Android keeps syncing my images even when it was disabled. You can’t trust these guys.

    I don’t even have Steam on my Windows install as all my games work fine on Linux. Honestly I should probably just uninstall Windows at this point, I don’t think I’ve used it in months.

      And even if you’d use it, everything I know off - except games - run fine in a VM.

        As a fairly new Linux user, I haven’t managed to run a single program through bottles. Just never works for me. Luckily I could get by so far with proton and auto generated lutris entries, but especially the latter I wasn’t able to configure manually either.

    Don’t seek validation from corporations.

    I hate this cat meme. I think that cat has untreated eye infections.

    Next year, play on a generic desktop Linux distribution as well as Steam Deck. They’ll show up as distinct platforms:

        There is expected to be an announcement at CES that Valve is partnering to bring other vendors into making SteamOS handhelds, so you likely will get your chance at something soon.

        I hate to say but you’re missing out. I wasn’t sure if it was for me in the beginning but according to steam I’ve done a third of my gaming this year on it

    Being able to mod Skyrim on Linux was the final nail in Window’s coffin for me too! Haven’t found a game that doesn’t work…even anti-cheat games like Elden Ring work flawlessly with Proton.

      Technically you could mod these games on Linux but it was a bit wonky. So I preferred to play these on Windows with MO2.

      Then I started using Steam Tinker Launch to setup and run MO2 on Linux and thus stopped using Windows.

      However STL does not seem to be getting updates these days so I now use this for modding Skyrim, Fallout, etc: https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer

      Edit: Nexus mods are also working on a cross-platform app for modding, though its still in alpha. Currently only a few games are supported with support for more coming soon.

    Does the Steam Deck count as Linux Gaming? I assume it does, but honestly in the year 2024 and on niche forums I never know.

    If it does count, then I bet my gaming percent is nearly as high. I prefer the larger screen on my laptop and some games that I play don’t run (or don’t run as well) on the Deck, but otherwise everything else about the Steam Deck makes it the superior experience.

      Not for this chat it doesn’t. I’m 100% Linux, but the Replay counts the Deck Separately:
