A new update for Valve's Proton compatibility layer for Linux adds DLSS 3 support, along with a long list of bug fixes.

Valve has made a significant update to its Proton compatibility layer, which is the basis of the Linux-based SteamOS operating system on the Steam Deck . The update brings several improvements and bug fixes, but it also adds support for Nvidia ’s coveted DLSS 3 Frame Generation.

It also adds support for games like Total War: Shogun 2, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, and Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2. Nvidia is reportedly working on an Arm-based PC platform that combines a GPU and CPU into a single chip, and it will apparently be ready to launch next year. Up to this point, AMD hardware has dominated handhelds like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally X, and Intel has dipped its toes in with the MSI Claw. But we haven’t seen an Nvidia-based handheld yet.
