Really cool to see "mainline" titles getting this prior to release. Had a friend get pulled into Marvel Rivals who mainlines Linux at home, and he had actually 0 issues getting it running at the time. Literally just download and play. Civ also seems like the perfect game to play on a Deck, so this is a no brainer, but cool to see this stuff is getting more popular to support out-the-box.
My old PC could barely launch STALKER 2 so I decided it was time to upgrade. While picking out the parts I also decided I wanted to try using Linux as the OS. Then I got worried some of my games wouldn't work. I mean, would STALKER 2 even run on Linux? What about Monster Hunter? Surley these huge titles wouldn't have Linux support! They do. They work out of the box. It's amazing how far Linux support for gaming has come.
