Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours on Steam. Maybe the PS4 variant has some magic for multipule monitors, too but I'm too lazy to look. There may also be other Darius ports that utilize multiple monitors but this is the main one in the series.
It's a horizontal shmup that used large displays in the arcade cabinets, that may have been multiple monitors but my memory is fuzzy.
You can stretch the game across multiple monitors in the game settings to replicate the super wide feel of the arcade game. They even have some "cabinet" connection options in the port that let's you compare your scores and see replays from other players.
while not a novel thing such as extra menus or something, it let's you play the game closer to its original format.
Bazite and bluefin for me, too. been daily driving Linux since the mid-90s and this little cluster of distros is the best experience I've had. really feels like everything finally came together.
Assault Suit Leynos on the PS4 (and on steam). The port of the first game, not the "Saturn Tribute" port of the second game. It was on sale on the PlayStation store for $1.99 a few days ago so I snapped it up.
Also probably Front Mission on Steam because of the current sale.
I tried to play Metro 2033 Redux since it was free on GOG but I ran out of time on my lunch break. May dive back into that.
this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.
I like gamesir's controllers and have had several. the g7 series is nice for what you describe. they have a wide array of options so check for some reviews to see the festurrsfeatures fully.
while i don't have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it's mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.
part of my choice was also that i don't play a lot of modern games so i didn't need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it's all nuance and preference, i think.
maybe try bazzite? i've found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.
battlefield 2042... unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don't belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i'm usually having a great time.
all my homies hate Nintendo.
