Errrh … yea, maybe give this one a miss

Very excited for this. Have about 2000 hours in Rimworld at this point (I know, I know, rookie numbers, I’m out here doing my best). Can’t wait to see how the expansion plays out.

Take a look at Apico pixel game all about beekeeping (is more akin to Stardew in how much the is to do however). Fantastic game

Not sure if different or just tuned to work better with the distro or something else entirely.

Kinda agree. New graphics card is deffo a nuclear option. I’m running pop os and haven’t come across a game I can’t run as it’s got the Nvidia drivers built it. I’d probably try swap distro before buying a new card just in case it’s that. That’s just time and effort rather than buying something that ‘might’ work.

Probably also worth noting that valve are updating the proton drivers all the time, they want the entire steam catalogue to work on steam deck so I would expect every game to work on proton over time. Might just be a waiting game tbh.

+1 for Frostpunk. Great city builder where the choices you make are often between the lesser of two evils. Very difficult, expect to lose your first few runs!

Hello new Linux user! So yes, your correct when installing apps on Linux sometimes you might need to do it via command line other times you’ll get a nice install file you can double click. It’s really down too the software manufacturers on how they choose to package it.

In general with Linux you’ll find there’s still a lot of command line usage compared to Windows or osx. On those platforms for most users they would barely touch a terminal except in some kind of bug fixing emergency.

Some distros come with their own app store built in (like the windows or osx app store) and allow you to install a bunch of apps via the gui.

What version of Linux did you go for out of interest? Some are much more beginner and use friendly than others.
