Once again, I wish Garuda had a Gaming News thread, especially since it has one of the most popular Dragon Gaming Edition Installations available, but I digressā¦

For you Nintendo Switch Gamy Gamers...two emulators to get you up and running. You can find Yuzu in Garuda's Gamer Emulator tab. Ryujinx is in Chaotic-aur although as a 'git.' There is a 'bin' version in AUR. Maybe this should also be added to Garuda's Gamer emulators?
This article also has a link for how to setup up the emulators to play....so lets start the shit show;
I just love a hyped-up virtual conference. Nothing makes you say, āI can forgo rent another month and buy this, sureā like marketing and corporatism. For you lucky Steam Deck purchasers and wannabiesā¦mark your calendar and attend in your undies!!
Taking place on Friday, November 12, starting at 10AM PT / 5PM UTC the topic will be specifically for the Steam Deck this time, covering these subjects:
Here is a great guide for SteamTinkerLauncher, which oddly enough, sounds like a kids Playschool learning toy, but is in fact a powerful tinkering tool for Steam/Proton/DXVK and lots more.

Reminder: This special Vulkan beta driver is where all the shiny new stuff goes in before making its way into the stable release for everyone. Really, itās mostly aimed at developers and serious enthusiasts. Unless you need whatās in them, itās generally best to use the stable drivers.

Edit to add: The author has update the article to include Garuda!!
ProtonUP-QT is a handy app to 'Easily Install And Manage Custom Wine Builds (Proton-GE, Luxtorpeda, Wine-GE) For Steam And Lutris.' It is now in Chaotic-aur thanks to @dr460nf1r3 , and also in AUR.
Here is a handy guide on setting it up and how to use it;
