Apparently we missed the weekend and didn't ask you for your latest recommendations? Let's fix that. What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?
For me personally, I've actually been doing something a little different. Since my 32nd birthday is coming up soon on July 30, I picked up a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB model) and what a wonderful little device it is. I can finally join the world of tiny computers! Using the full Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit, it couldn't have been any easier and what a joy it was to get going.
Snap it together into the little case, plug it in with the SD card that came with the 'NOOBS' installer so there's absolutely no fuss. Okay, that's a small lie, there was a tiny bit of fuss with KODI having a really slow mouse which was solvable by adding "usbhid.mousepoll=0" to the end of "/boot/config.txt".
Without much fuss then it was up and running—yes that's Halo: Reach with Steam Play Proton being streamed from a Manjaro desktop to the Raspberry Pi. Glorious. I also need to one day invest in a better camera but priorities…
So as you might expect, I've been testing out a lot of games with the Steam Link from my Linux desktop to my new Linux-powered Raspberry Pi 4 and so far it's handled it like an absolute champ. It's surprising how much better Steam Link works now than the last proper time I tested it, where it was quite rough, now it seems fantastic.
If you're also interested in the Raspberry Pi, Humble have a dedicated Raspberry Pi Book Bundle on until August 10.
Over to you: what have you been gaming on Linux lately? Serve up your recommendations in the comments.

Hey Liam! check this out:https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/blog/getting-started-with-twister-os-on-raspberry-piThanks for the tip but I don't need my OS to look like another, I'm perfectly happy with the official RPi Debian-based OS on it :)
Btw one thing that sticks out in twister OS is that it runs Steam preinstalled. Not many OS can't do that on raspberry pi 4 - yet. But there are limits of course for using steam that stem from hardware. But for myself it would be interesting what it can do and what steam games really work in it. Of course 2 desktop enviroments(windows, MacOS) is not a good solution for some users and can be a very irritating thing. But this project I'll keeping an eye on and when I buy my own raspberry pi 4 maybe then I give it a try...

Did you played the remastered version? I cant get it to workYep, it's the remastered version. Works fine here though.
It does also work now for me. Mira-nohb did the trick, even remote play via Chiaki is quite nice.
