Indeed you can. Personally I find the phone interface a bit too clunky, but if your phone’s hardware is up for it, it does run, and all platforms that support Minetest are compatible with each other.

Nope, you can just use these mods for the time being.
On the flip side, it’s orders of magnitude easier to write a Minetest mod, and keep it updated with later versions and compatible with other mods.
Friendly, and unsolicited reminder that the Minetest engine + its game Mineclonia (or alternatively Voxelibre) are a pretty good open source alternative as of late.
Minetest is also getting some pretty nice upgrades to its graphics lately. The upcoming release should be looking quite pretty.
Event documented as a sidetrack in future Summoning Salt video transpiring as we speak.

What? EEVEE is evolving!
EEVEE evolved into RAYTHEON!
I got a Kingston SSD once ( yes I should have known better) that kept freezing my laptop which needed to be restarted. I couldn’t narrow it down and put up with it for an embarrassingly long time, until while looking for unrelated stuff I found out that the firmware version was associated with freezes. And then I found out that it was basically impossible to upgrade it, even on windows. After many hours, I was almost ready to give up, until I found some random Russian video (which I don’t speak) that used some ancient version of their shity firmware updater that you could only find in sketchy forums and software sites that could actually upgrade the firmware to a non-crashy version. I think it still freezes, but it’s orders of magnitude rarer.
Long story short, Kingston, not even once.
Sadly, if you are using Linux and want your firmware updates for your SSD through the proper native channels, Samsung was the only option last time I checked. Crucial used to have a half-assed solution that they abandoned recently.
Ah yes, China’s and India’s rivalry over supremacy over East Asia wasn’t enough. Now they can have KSA and Iran fighting over the Middle East, plus Egypt and Ethiopia ready to go to war over a dam, under the same banner. I guess if half the members of a consortium want to murder the other half it balances out?

If you have cloud storage available, either by a company or self-hosted, you can look into Ludusavi and OpenCloudSaves, both open source and using the same savegame path database.
Ludusavi is more mature with more features.
OpenCloudSaves aims to target better usability with the Deck specifically.
Recently finished outer wilds on the deck, and now I’m working through the dlc. If you’re hooked, you are in for a ride. My advice is don’t look at walkthroughs if you have the patience. Sometimes if you stare at the problem for long enough it might just solve itself. ;)
As much as I like to use steam streaming for how straightforward it is, this is one of the issues you’ll get for seemingly no reason. The things I can recommend is trying the separate steam link software that should be in the discover store, or keep in mind that there might be issues with hardware acceleration or with the beta client. If tinkering with these doesn’t fix it, I would also wholeheartedly recommend sunshine/moonlight. Takes some effort to set up (some extra effort if streaming from nvidia on Linux and want hardware acceleration for example) but when it works, it works wonders. Much smoother especially on WiFi.
I don’t know how statistically prevalent it is, and where you’d get it varies. Sounds great that you don’t have to deal with it either before or after.
For me initially it was around the usb port when I press down on it. Nowadays, I get it when I do a twisty motion with both hands while holding it, but I’ve had it for well over a year, and it has experienced a couple of bumpy falls in the meantime.
The standard shell on the steam deck can be a bit creaky if you put pressure on certain points. How’s the new one?

Well for the sake of context Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2, which has now rebranded itself as VoxeLibre. The project was forked due to personal and design disputes. In fact the most productive developer of Mineclonia, used to be the lead dev of mcl2.
Currently VoxeLibre maintains the continuity of the original project and the community which explains its higher popularity. Mineclonia by comparison has very little presence, the discord server was set up like a couple of months ago I think.
But in terms of code, mineclonia has been the faster evolving of the two. More features, more bug fixes, and advances from voxelibre that are deemed valuable are cherry picked. In terms of specific features, I really prefer the double digging depth, and the better villages. And voxelibre has significantly shortened the attack range which I find really annoying.
Other than that, mineclonia is more commited to being a true clone of minecraft, with voxelibre going out of its way to diverge, especially after the rebrand, which might turn out to be wise if microsoft’s trademark lawyers come knocking.
