What have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?
I am currently going through the original Alan Wake (I have zero idea what's going on…), and after that I plan to finally do a proper Fallout 4 play-through. I decided to actually start going through some of my own library to play through games collecting dust and the Steam Deck is just magic for that.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
QuoteWhat have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?I'm now addicted to Brotato (Proton), thanks to recommendations from your articles, Liam, and also from jams3223!
I've been continuing with Chico and the Magic Orchards DX (Native Linux), which is a nice Game Boy Colour-style puzzle game that seems to have flown under everyone's radar. I wrote a little bit about it on the forum the other day, too.
I also discovered an excellent little game called Ekans (Proton), which is an inverse version of Snake where you play as a little guy who's trapped in a snake-pit who has to distract the snake by kicking apples to send him off in a different direction. It's a simple little high-score-based chase game, but that's all that it needs to be, and I love it already. (Hopefully a certain overly-litigious video game company, who has a character named "Ekans" in a part-owned series of theirs, won't go after this one on the basis of having invented spelling names backwards in video games, or something ridiculous of that nature.)
And, of course, there's been plenty of Stardew Valley (Native Linux) and Super Bomberman R 2 (Proton), as well.

I've been hocked to Raft, hard. I'm 60 hours in and I just finished what is supposed to be the first chapter (3rd story island), because making my raft big and nice is a bliss for me. It was the same when I played Grounded.
And since my GPU died 1 month ago, I've been using my Deck docked as a desktop using FSR to upscale games from 720 to 1440. Until I get a new GPU, my portable and desktop gaming are fused (and very limited, playing first person games at 40fps-ish with mouse is painful until you get use to it)

Recently finished Disco Elysium, The Gunk, and Stasis: Bone Totem. Played a little bit of F.I.S.T., and Powers in the Basement. Thinking of trying out Midnight Suns, and Alan Wake (like Liam, I've never played, but it's been in the backlog forever).
Disco Elysium - a bit text-heavy and art style is a bit odd, but great storyline.
The Gunk - pretty enjoyable 3D adventure; have to clean up polluted world (with your backpack vacuum!) to save it.
Stasis: Bone Totem - isometric horror adventure game; I've loved everything made by the Bischoff brothers.
F.I.S.T. - a cute platformer game, but I get a little annoyed at challenging jump-this-way-and-that sections.
Powers in the Basement - a free retro-style point-and-click. A little bit *too* retro in the interface.
