Kind of lost excitement after the price tag. If Xbox and Sony raised their prices first I feel like maybe the public would of received the steam machines price better. Its still too much for me regardless, I don't need one just wanted one as a fan boy.
Also its the steam frame that is the more important one in my mind.
Look up gamehub (don't use it though it's made by game sir I think) they are already using fex and you can play games like red dead 2 at 60fps 720p on a pocco phone.
Like a year or two down the line the verification system for the steam frame will be super matured and you will just be able to play the games on your phone. Fex could potentially even help inspire someone to make a arch based operating system for phones so we have something other than Ubuntu touch and postmarket os. And it would be able to run pretty much any application. A lot of native Linux apps are already ported to arm like blender, being able to run exes and video games helps a lot.
I wish I could express to you guys how much proton matured sense the release of the steam deck and the constant work with the verification program which helps them further fix proton. It was like maybe half my library that worked, and not super well when I got my q1 steam deck. Now I don't even check proton db before buying a game, besides few multiplayer games everything just works. So much of the world is going to arm and x86 is on its way out.
There is GameHub Lite, which is a community fork of GameHub with all telemetry removed.
There is also GameNative, which has been working a lot better than GameHub on my Xiaomi Pad 6. It's an older tablet, so maybe GameHub works better on newer hardware.
And there is Winlator too. Haven't tried this one yet, so can't comment on its features or compatibility.
Thank God. The world will be a better place without Intel, AMD, and their x86 disaster.
