Valve’s about to count to three… | Steam Deck & Linux News

So, it looks like Valve is actually working on Half-life 3—for real this time! We’ll discuss. And, do we finally have a good remaster of a classic Star Wars game? Plus, Valve’s suddenly talking about the ASUS ROG Ally. What’s that about? All of this (and a whole lot more) in this double wide, double deep installment of Linux Gaming News! We also touch on the new STAR WARS Bounty Hunter Remake, Humble’s CAPCOM Summer 2024 bundle that offers over 40 games for just $30, a new update for ChimeraOS, the Steam Hardware Survey for July 2024, Ethan ‘Flibitijibibo’ Lee and FNA’s completion of their DirectX integration, and Decky Loader putting some Steam Decks into a boot loop.
