Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives
xavier666@lemm.ee 1 month agoIs S mode really that popular? I’ve never seen that in an enterprise setting. End users won’t want S mode because it will limit functionality.

Basically all cheaper laptops come in S mode now, and a lot of people don’t know that they can turn it off. They also made it where the only option for disabling it requires you to first create a Microsoft account and use the Microsoft store, so you’re required to use their preferred method for software distribution before you can choose to use something else.
It’s a lot better than Microsoft’s original plan for S mode, originally it was going to be a completely separate windows build, and end users would have to buy a new windows key and reinstall windows if they wanted to use steam.
