Hell freaking yes! This was like…the only major barrier preventing me from permanently moving my desktop over to Linux from Windows. Now I need to check if I can get my Mbox to work and I’m golden.

If by Mbox you mean the sound device; I recently tried out Linux PopOS and my Mbox 2 Mini worked without a problem right from the Start

I am. Mines a 3, so idk how that translates over. But I would likely be using Pop as well, so that’s promising.

Damn it. Just when I bit the bullet and bought Diablo 4 on Battlenet. I bet whenever they launch Diablo 4 on Steam, they’ll not just transfer my license it to Steam.

Edit: FWIW I’m using the Battlenet launcher with Lutris, and so far it’s far less problematic than Epic. Hasn’t yet forgotten my log in and asked for password again like Epic does every few days which is super annoying (pretty sure this is how they operate on Windows also).

I feel you on this. I’ll be annoyed if they don’t offer some kind of migration.

It was a little tricky setting up for me, since I couldn’t get heroic to work on my computer. I will use steam in a hearbest though, much easier.

Wouldn’t you be fighting against other PC players? Good luck attempting to fight kb+m players on joysticks.

You can plug a mouse and keyboard into a Steam Deck.

I can play some other game on it as a handheld on the train and then dock it at my destination. A Steam Deck is also a really cheap computer that will still run most games.

Some gamepad player are really good. Especially in Overwatch, which has characters like Mercy, Moira or Reinhardt that can provide value even without good aim.

Though Overwatch doesn’t have aim assist on pc, so it’s probably difficult even for most experienced gamepad players.

@mojo @sirsquid the addition of gyro aiming makes it competitive, especially if it’s setup for flickstick or if you get used to using the right trackpad.

I play in a party of four, most times. Two of us on KB/M, two on controller. No problems.

That smells like desperation to get a higher playercount and paypiggies
