Overcooked 1 is a Unity game released in 2016. Unity only started offering Linux build support as an experimental feature at the end of 2015, so it’s very likely that the version of Unity they used to make Overcooked didn’t had Linux support.

The real question is why Overcooked All you can Eat doesn’t have Linux support.

Edit: I forgot to say, I don’t think it’s weird that Paradox supports Linux, they made their engine Linux compatible a while back, so offering support now is trivial. And I always remember the reddit post in which a dev explained that Linux users are like a dedicated QA team hahaha

Since people have already mentioned Factorio, Dead cells, and Stellaris (which btw all of paradox grand strategy games since CK2 have native versions). I’ll mention a lesser known game that me and my wife love to play, it’s similar to Overcooked (which btw Overcooked 2 has native Linux support) but a lot more calm: Out of Space

The thing I love more about the Cube series is that it introduced me to Marc A. Pullen

I would argue the low cost option is already serviced by the Steam deck.

I have a Logitech G604 and it works flawlessly with piper to setup the extra buttons.

I have a crkbd but never heard of Blackpill, is that one of the ones that’s already defined in qmk? If not you need to create the mapping from layout to pins, I have no idea how that is done though.

If it’s defined have you flashed both halves? Before using it? I imagine so otherwise the right side wouldn’t work at all, but just in case.

At least for crkbd the keymap is defined as if it was a single thing, so you don’t need to specify split keyboard, the mapping of pins to keys should take care of that, but the crkbd is always split so that might be the reason you need to define that in your keyboard.

I know it’s a bit inconvenient, but have you tried setting it to not split and flash the right hand size with a MASTER_RIGHT config defined?

I know this violates a lot of the requirements, but it’s what I use and getting stuff in Ireland was a pain in the ass, so if none of the other solutions work as a last resort you can check https://mechboards.co.uk/products/helidox-corne-kit it’s a very small keyboard and requires full assembly, however it is ortholinear and fully configurable, once you get used to the concept of layers it offers a lot of possibilities, e.g. with the press of a button I have a numpad, but it takes a while to get used to and to edit the layout to fit what you prefer.

Long story short, it REALLY depends on the games. The vast majority of them will work perfectly fine, but there are a few that will have weird things, and a few that will not work at all. The problem is that the ones that won’t work at all are competitive multiplayer, so if you’re into that you’re going to have a bad time, if not it’s very likely that almost anything you try will just work (quite a few games are better with ProtonGE, more as a heads up than anything).

Can’t say I’ve used CUDA much, but in my experience (which includes over a couple dozens of computers running Nvidia drivers on Arch) a system upgrade has never broken a system because of Nvidia drivers in Arch. Make sure you use the dkms package, otherwise you need to remember to rebuild the modules for kernel or driver updates, this is a deliberate decision by Arch system. Although that’s probably not what happened to you, otherwise it would have reverted to open source drivers, and steam works perfectly fine with those. In fact unless you’re using Wayland I can’t think of a reason why steam wouldn’t launch that’s related to GPU drivers.

I’m curious, what exactly did break?

You might be exaggerating a little bit on the dates, 10 years ago in 2013 AMD was pretty shit on Linux. You had to choose between the closed source catalyst driver that made you have to prevent Xorg from being updated, or enjoy the slideshow with the Radeon open source one. The new driver only got announced in 2014, and released in 2015. I hear it’s much better now, but hadn’t had the chance to test it yet.
