I’m holidaying and it was my first time using my Steam Deck docked when I encountered this issue. I spent hours tweaking settings and googling trying to find out how others were able to play on Deck. To be honest I was actually relieved to find out it was an EAC issue.
I love this thing. I’m finishing games that I probably never would have gotten around to playing previously. I’m consistently impressed with how well games run, and how many of them run. I run Linux on my desktop as well and there is pretty much nothing I play that can’t be played on Linux/Steam Deck. I’m going overseas for 6 weeks in the near future, which would ordinarily mean I’m restricted to playing games on my phone. With Steam Deck and a dongle, I can continue to play all of the games I would play on my desktop. The Steam Deck and Proton have been revolutionary.
The desktop panel layout is very similar. The biggest give away is the Steam Deck icon where the Windows Start menu usually sits. Then beside that are Terminal and other Linux specific software.
And on a Steam Deck too! Nicely done.

Oh shit. I mean, that’s what the rumour mill said but…not a smart move by India if true. They’ve created a martyr and pissed off a friendly nation all in one hit.
Same here. I’ve never seen this one before but it just further cements him as my favourite.
My first thought as soon as I saw the name.
Squad is an awesome game, and I’ve played hundreds of hours on Proton. However, unless performance has drastically improved since last December, I would not recommend trying to play it on Steam Deck. I got about 20fps, with regular and significant drops. It is a seriously good game though for those who like a good tactical multiplayer shooter. OWI also makes a Starship Troopers game and Squad 44 (sort of a WW2 version of Squad but different, does not run on Proton due to EAC) so I hope they get the same treatment.
