no sound?

Nope, that's how Valve provided the clips as.

I was questioning the same but I think it is the promo video on the store page which actually has no sound in the first place.

Thanks for the vid. I only just now picked up on the fact that scene two appears to feature it being used in dock mode, in place of a PC and with a keyboard and secondary monitor.

Yep, it has a full desktop mode with KDE Plasma.

I have been watching other channel cover of Steam Deck, mot of them have opinion that running game on Proton would create significant overhead compare to Windows. I wish they would try and see for them self on normal PC to see the real performance of Proton.

it can vary greatly per game, and I'd guess one's hardware can also cause more problems to proton, particularly if one is running less popular graphics cards. I'd bet the Proton team tests primarily using Nvidia cards and probably more mid to high end range compared to lower tier cards. I play a ton of Street Fighter 5 and the newest Proton version won't load the game for me on my hardware at all (I have to use Proton v.5.10.xxxx iirc). The game used to load w/in less than about 2 min, but now always seem to take 10 min to load in Linux for no apparent reason (it is on an SSD; 32GB RAM; RX 570 8GB) and should be loading w/in about 45sec to a min as on Windows. I think this may be related to DRM overhead, but it is still annoying and gives me the impression that Valve still has much to do before the Steam Deck is released. Since fighting games require faster responses than almost any genre, I think anyone who wants to understand problems using Proton should be an adept fighting game player and test fighting games w/in Linux via Proton to understand what I'm talking about (and this title in particular)

I hope it lets you install games from GOG.
