    By now you can safely assume that all games work with Linux. The very few exceptions that don’t are those games that explicitly block Linux gamers.

            The virtual keyboard isn’t used while gaming in regular desktop Linux. That is a steam issue, specifically a steamdeck issue since a regular desktop would use the physical keyboard to type in Skyrim.

            I know about the OS the deck is running and that it’s an arch form, but it’s not a Linux issue, it’s a steam deck issue since non steamdeck desktop Linux pcs don’t have that issue because they use a physical keyboard.

            What you are saying is like me saying that the inability to read Chinese is a human issue because I can’t read it and in human. Naaah.

            That doesn’t make it a Linux issue. It’s an issue with some component that is in a Linux distribution, but it probably has nothing to do with the Linux operating system. It sounds like it’s specifically some component of the Deck at fault, not a part of Linux.

            That’s like pointing at an Android-based smart fridge, saying it doesn’t run Skyrim, and saying it’s a Linux issue, because android is based on Linux.

        when you open skyrim, go to the mods section, hit left bumper when there to open the search. it will bring up the virtual keyboard.

        now just simply exit the menu and start the game. and the keyboard will work without crashing the game.

        its a workaround, but I’m used to doing it whenever I load up skyrim.

        enjoy! <3
