I have a T460 running Debian 12 with Cinnamon on it, which is Linux Mint’s desktop environment. It runs perfect, never have any issues, I just have to be patient every now and then.

No microtransactions, although it does have DLC’s. There are some doors you can’t pass through unless you buy those, which is a little annoying but you always have another option. I do think it’s better played with a controller though since the action can be very fast paced.

Dead cells. Never played it before, it’s hard but fun. Runs great on the Steam Deck.

What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You’d still need the mouse, but it’s at least a little quicker ☺️
