If you enjoy strategy games, you don't want to miss the free giveaway of Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. The developer is currently giving it away to keep on Steam, with anyone able to claim a copy until April 9th, 9AM UTC.
The game has a Steam Deck 'Playable' rating, and according to ProtonDB it's rated Platinum from the crowd-sourced reports. I've played a bit of it on desktop myself and can indeed confirm it works great on Linux.

Well, I downloaded it, clicked play. It brought up a launcher thingie. I clicked play game. It did a loading progress bar for a moment, then brought up the launcher thingie again. Rinse and repeat. I told Steam to try Proton experimental. It did the same thing. Not a very fun game so far.

It worked also for me with an AMD GPU. I did not choose the compatibility layer so it worked with whatever is the default proton version today.

For the record, since so many people it works for are stressing their AMD kit, I'm also using an AMD GPU, so this isn't an "AMD works, NVidia has problems" thing.

I'm in the camp where it works and my setup shouldn't be all that different.
There must be something different though. Just in case if it's some kind of Mesa issue, my Mesa version is 22.2.3. Kernel is 5.15.94 (should remember to update to latest 5.15 kernel).
