Did anyone who got the beta try running it under Mac or Linux?

External link →Proton doesn't necessarily have 0 support from devs. The game "Have a nice Death" had in a bug in a certain version of proton and they made a community post about it with a workaround before eventually pushing a fix. So we can hope for active support from devs with proton just like with native.
And native client doesn't always get continued support/fixed from breakage. I believe a famous example is borderlands never got all the dlc as native. Here is a conversation about crosscode being broken for some on the Linux native client but not on proton (I had this too). Not to mention that countless examples of proton having better performance than native clients.
It seems like frostgiant is aware of steamdeck/linux since they sometimes have a steamdeck in their interviews/reveals. I just hope they support Linux in whatever way provides a better experience for players (or don't block Proton if they do no support).
I'm a huge fan of the Steam Deck. I only got 50% mad when I learned about the updated version with the improved screen.
