![]() Figure 1 – GNOME Software helps to install Steam conveniently ![]() For that matter, if you factor in some performance scaling with respect to the handheld nature of the device and the optimized Proton compatibility layer, this article can be representative of what the Steam Deck is capable of when you use Fedora Workstation as a platform of your choice for playing your favourite video games. If the RDNA2 architecture reminds you of something, allow me to share that it is what forms the foundation of the GPU that no other than the widely acclaimed Steam Deck makes use of. On a testing bench using an AMD RDNA2-based GPU, the video game was configured to the highest possible graphical preset to really stress the hardware into performing as much as its limiting factor. What I ended up finding surprised me – I like to think that it would be just as pleasing to both enthusiasts who have been playing video games on GNU/Linux distributions and to newcomers who have been scoping this, alike. Admittedly, it had been quite a while since an avid video games fan like me did that, so it was almost a no-brainer for me to try it out and see if things have changed. Back in the day, it used to irk me as to how GNU/Linux distributions could not be even considered to be in the proximity of video games enthusiasts – less because of the performance of the video games themselves and more because of how inconvenient it could be for them to set it all up.
