- 2:54Epic's redesigned launcher is set to support SteamOS and other Linux distributions.

Epic and GOG supply the software news, but Jimmy Champane saves the childhood memories for Pokémon. Deck Ready's most-watched new upload, "Say goodbye... SteamOS update!", moves from the practical frustrations of PC game launchers to making Nintendo's dual-screen adventures fit a handheld with just one screen.
Champane discusses Epic's confirmation of SteamOS support for its redesigned launcher, then GOG Galaxy's plans for a native Linux app in early 2027. These are meaningful subjects for a channel built around playing PC games away from Windows: buying a game is one thing; getting its launcher to cooperate is another.
The comments add some hands-on texture. Viewers describe using Heroic Launcher for their Epic libraries, while others explain what keeps their desktops on Windows, including work software and game compatibility. One imagines converting a two-slice toaster into a Steam Machine.
The Pokémon section introduces FullDex's single-screen conversions, before Champane recalls buying and playing the games through childhood and high school. That mix of software news and personal enthusiasm drew about 79,000 views, the strongest showing among his three uploads this week.
"SteamOS does the impossible" and "The Steam Deck can't be beat..." rounded out the week, the latter making room for a PS5-style interface and Steam's content-quality problems. The newest update carries most of the channel's daily momentum, with last week's "Physical games are BACK!" also contributing.
Daily views are running at more than twice Deck Ready's usual pace, though its subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Nearby handheld channel The Phawx is having a slower spell; Deck Ready's extra activity is concentrated in that very familiar question of what else the Deck can play.

@ITSupport-q1ySee it on YouTubeOne thing about epic on the steamos is I've had great luck with the heroic launcher. it can even add browser games which I've been having a lot of fun with recently.
@thegodinfiniteSee it on YouTubeAfter I got my Steam controller all the games I had in Epic Games became a headache to remap, the incompatibility made me buy the same games on Steam.

My biggest issue and why I haven't moved my PC to Linux yet (my laptop did the move a few years ago) is that I need a system that does both. Both let me work and play games, I don't want to have to deal with workarounds like with SteamOS and I've looked into several distros and I can't decide which is the better one to get into.
