More info from the article: quality mode is 1440p 30fps, and performance mode is 960p (upscaled to 1440p using FSR2) 60fps. Although late-game, specifically the big cities in act 3, can dip into mid-20fps range

For short group games, some of our favorites are:

And honestly, we've had a surprising amount of fun with Liar's Dice too (a.k.a. Bluff/Perudo/Dudo; 15-30min)

It's possible they want to support Steam Deck without supporting the rest of linux desktop, which would just be... dumb. The Steam Deck, in Valve's own words, is "just a PC" anyway.

Considering they unbanned ~~all~~ most of the linux users last time though, this is likely just another mistake.

How would you have phrased it? I figured if I left "falsely" out, it would come off like the bans were intentional. But to be fair, I guess we don't know if it's intentional or a bug yet... but I imagine, and hope, it's a bug.

Apex is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Since Steam Deck and desktop linux use the same compatibility tool, Proton, that means both should be supported.

Additionally, the last time this happened, Apex unbanned all of the desktop linux users, which is at least a soft-confirmation that it's supported.

*Cross-posted. Yes, I think it is relevant to all of those communities and deserves attention

It's currently at 10% positive reviews. I think once this chart updates in ~11.5 hrs, it will officially be the worst-reviewed steam game of all time: https://steam250.com/bottom100

Individual stocks is probably a bad idea (since that's basically gambling), but investing in something like broad-market index funds in a retirement account is better sooner rather than later. Since the stock market roughly doubles every 10yrs, your money is worth a lot more when you're young, hence "I wish I did this in my 20s"
