In this companion article, we'll explain what's going on with Valve's first dedicated Linux PC and what it currently can (and cannot) do. But that's not the same as using the Deck as a Linux machine. This is the default way to access your favorite Steam games, and as our review explores, that proposition is currently iffy. Our full review goes into greater detail about installing and playing Windows games through Valve's customized Wine compatibility layer, dubbed Steam Proton. With that in mind, I decided to write a shorter article about the Steam Deck's implementation of Linux since a lot of Ars Technica readers are interested in that use case. Our Steam Deck review is now live, and it's massive-almost as big as Valve's new portable PC.
