    Nah, the in game menu. It’s been several months so it’s hazy, but I think Mario Kart was the only game I got to successfully launch, but it wouldn’t let me proceed past the menu. I was assuming it was some sort of phone home authentication problem but I’m not sure.

      I had a similar issue running Mario Kart on steam deck if I’m remembering correctly - though I think it was related to controllers, may have been a popup or something appearing behind full screen. Have definitely had BotW and Mario Kart running under Linux!

      Hmm, I don’t know what you mean by “phone home authentication”. I did not any such authentication and my phone was not involved.

        Phones aren’t involved in phone-home authentication, silly. And it’s not always visible or something you actively do. Sometimes it’s a CD key you put in. Sometimes it’s a check through the internet that’s invisible to you.
