Valve has proven many times over the years that they are a friend of Linux. They brought Steam to Linux, they made Proton for Windows games on Linux, and the Steam Deck runs Linux. This week that they confirmed it yet again. Valve makes a major move in Linux gaming by collaborating directly with Arch Linux, with new support for Wayland development.

Rockstar’s latest update to GTA Online has just broken Steam Deck support and caused major issues for Linux users, but it’s not for the reason you might think. While Rockstar claims that Valve or BattlEye are to blame, the truth is much different. BattlEye actually works just fine on the Steam Deck via Proton, and Rockstar’s excuse is misleading at best. In this video, we dive deep into the details of this controversy, explain why Rockstar is pointing fingers, and reveal what’s really happening with Linux and Steam Deck compatibility. Are Rockstar’s claims just an excuse to avoid responsibility, or is there something else? In this video I'm going to expose the truth behind the broken compatibility and what it means for players who rely on Proton to enjoy GTA Online on their favorite devices.
