I was a normie once. I too fell for misinformation in the past. If it wasn't for the freely available information on the internet, I wouldn't be here today.

enjoy the mainstream memes and discussion, but avoid the algorithmic content slop from them. That's how I see the fediverse. It's a win in my book.

I earliest I expect a Steam Deck 2 to come out would be in middle 2025

The aim is to suck all resources from the planet and die just before things go to shit

4000 hours on record

Review: I spent over $500 worth of DLC on this game but I hate it! They never implemented the features community asked for.

Devs: And we love you for that!

I am interested in knowing what's the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it's low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.

  • Take Steam Deck
  • Wipe OS and install Bazzite/Nobara
  • Install Heroic Launcher / Non Steam Launcher
  • Install games from them

Nuclear apocalypse happens and internet is down

  • Get ISOs of games in a USB drive
  • Plug it into the deck and install

Hi there, just a small correction. Compared to existing linux distros, it's slightly different. Steam OS is an immutable OS, which means you can't edit the root partition (Like you can't edit the C:\ drive in Windows). This is both good and bad.

Good -> Users can't mess up their device while trying to mess around with it. Updates are smooth because Valve knows the previous state of the OS.

Bad -> It's bad only for extreme power users as it's not fully customizable. You can't run your own kernel, install certain build packages to do some advanced stuff. But this is a tiny tiny bad.

Overall, Steam OS is great and I believe will be the gateway for the general PC crowd.

Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You're done

You mean to say that my great-grandson can finally play Destiny 2 on Linux? Sweet!

The only pure-linux issues that I have faced in the last few years are due to Wayland. And it's not an issue, it's just the legacy application has not yet embraced Wayland yet. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing for me.
