Our article on the Junk Store removal from Steam was updated, see the bottom: gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/that…
That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed
A few days ago I wrote about the Junk Store coming to Steam, a special plugin for Steam Deck to bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility unnoficially - but it seems to be a short lived idea.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Mastodon stuffed toy
We created a stuffed toy of the highest caliber. Deliberately friend-sized and friend-shaped, with a soft surface material and soft, squishy stuffing, the toy measures a height of 35cm.Mastodon Merch

Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/valv…
Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming
Valve gave us the strongest wording yet that a Steam Deck 2 is actually real, although it's still clearly going to be some time away before there's enough of an upgrade.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I hope Valve considers making a "console" like PC, something that can fit on my entertainment shelf. Targeting the same performance as a PS5 is what I want. SteamOS is a must.
I would then just stream the games from the desktop PC to the Deck for games that don't run well on the Deck.
