Valve just got serious about Anti-Cheat. 👏👏👏

This week, we’ve seen a new beta update hit the Steam client and it removed a feature that’s been a long time coming. We’ll discuss. Plus, Bazzite’s gets a new update, and this hardware modder made her own Steam Deck? All of this and more today. That’s right. It’s Steam Deck (and Linux gaming) news time.
