Jimmy ordered a sandwich and a Switch 2 game through DoorDash. As gaming podcast anecdotes go, it's a fairly efficient way to explain how eagerly someone wanted to play Zelda.

That story lands early in "Linux gamers get another win!", the most watched of NerdNest's two uploads this week, with about 38,000 views. Bill Fairchild joins Rich, Jimmy and Cary for a sprawling conversation that opens with the Ocarina of Time remake. Cary describes its handheld presentation, Bill recounts draining his console's battery, and Rich picks out changes to Navi's dialogue and characterization.

The news promised by the title arrives almost an hour in: Bill says GOG Galaxy is officially coming to Linux in 2027. He welcomes more choice in where players buy their games. One commenter raises the practical counterpoint: Heroic Launcher already makes their GOG and Epic libraries easy to integrate into Steam. Elsewhere, a viewer describes listening over Sunday coffee while wandering World of Warcraft's Barrens, a fitting accompaniment to the episode's retro-gaming detours.

The other upload gets straight to a familiar handheld question: how well will this game run? "Valve finally solved the Steam Deck's biggest question" explains crowdsourced frame-rate information appearing on Steam store pages. It passed 21,000 views in its first 13 hours and is currently the channel's busiest video, with the previous week's Retroid hardware review also continuing to draw viewers.

Daily channel views are nearly double their usual level, though subscribers stayed unchanged over the week. Nearby in gaming commentary, OhNoItsAlexx and AnthonyCSN are also having busier-than-usual viewing days. For NerdNest, the fresh Steam explainer returns to the practical territory of its most-watched regular upload, "5 Tips for New Steam Deck Owners": making the hardware easier to live with.

What viewers say

Sunday morning, drinking coffee, listening to the Nerd Nest, and walking around the Barrens.

Ill try GOG Galaxy, but the Heroic Launcher makes it so easy to integrate GOG and Epic stuff into Steam so I'm skeptical that I'll want to use Galaxy.

As a 30 year old father of two, I just started playing WoW Forever with no prior experience playing WoW. I used to play MMOs all the time as a teenager, but never had money to play WoW. I’m seriously hooked into it now though. It makes me feel incredibly nostalgic to that era of gaming

I played the first 2 days in docked mode. I wanted to play in bed last night and I was blown away even more. They nailed hand held mode!
