Question, who uses the left trackpad and what for?
Every RetroDECK user

Steam Frame is their new VR headset
And Valve literally say on the Steam Frame website that it has a desktop mode running Plasma, just running on an ARM processor instead of x86, and can be used as stand alone PC.
Not sure I wanna blow battery charge on editing spreadsheets in LibreOffice in VR but it’ll be possible.
- Comment on Steam Machine 9 hours ago:
If everything is soldered anyway, there is no reason to have separate chips for CPU+GPU, especially if that hardware already exists like the AMD Ryzen AI Max line.
Cost is a factor because just as with Steam Deck the two SKUs will only differ in storage space, not in performance. Using last gen RDNA3 is 100% a cost driven choice.
There was the story recently that AMD demanded a very high minimum order (10 million or so?) for semi-custom versions of the lasest Ryzen and RDNA iterations for some Xbox handheld which is unlikely that handheld would sell.
By going this route, Valve avoided this. Surely there is spare manufacturing capacity for RDNA3 by now.

Honestly no idea why the Framework Desktop isn’t being sold in a SteamOS configuration.
- Comment on The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout 1 week ago:
And a Steam console to go with it, please.
Current state of the rumor mill is that it’ll be a companion device for the stand-alone VR headset where traditional games are supposedly being projected on a virtual giant screen.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 introducing a native Steam Deck build that improves performance by reducing CPU load and memory usage 1 month ago:
Dude, I’ve got one, no need to go all fanboy on me.
Watch your manners.

doing that would kinda defeat the purpose of a handheld, wouldn’t it?
No because docked use is explicitly one of the advertised features:

I though it was implied that I played it with a keyboard on the PC, what kind of comparison would it be, the Steam Deck is itself a big controller
You implied nothing. “Big” PCs can use controllers and Steam Deck has touchpads, touchscreen, and you can connect keyboard and mouse because a Steam Deck is a PC.
- Comment on Does anyone else use their steam deck as a PC? How's it? 1 month ago:
I sometimes to but it’s not my main desktop PC. I have a notebook that’s much more powerful but when I left the notebook in my backpack besides the apartment door and sat down at my desk already, I may be too lazy to get up again and then grab whatever is the USB-C dockable device nearby. (Sometimes it’s also my Samsung phone for DeX desktop.)

Is that an accurate description of the game?
Boomer shooter. That’s why it’s crossposted to @boomershooters@lemmy.world.

Samsung TVs run Tizen. If they have an AMD APU, running Steam natively would be possible. The biggest challenge is probably heat management.
- Comment on STEAM FRAME - Valve Corporation Trademark Registration 2 months ago:
My wife said it’s a Samsung Frame TV with SteamOS streaming built in…
While I think such a device is plausible in general, I don’t think Samsung would want to hand a “Frame” related TV trademark to a 3rd party.

- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 2 months ago:
Just get another handheld then, maybe a used ROG Ally, and install SteamOS or Bazzite. It’ll be fine.
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 2 months ago:
I don’t know who those “we” people are but benchmarks have repeatedly shown that in low wattage situations the performance difference between Deck and the newer handhelds is negligible, so this prediction is hardly a surprise IMO.
- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 2 months ago:
Depending on our use case, one of the newer 3rd party SteamOS handhelds may be a better option. Steam Deck does not ramp up performance when connected to a power source, for example. OTOH, if your use case is mainly portable with long battery life (so not ramping up performance by spending more energy), the performance difference to the newer devices is non existent any more, even skewed slightly towards the Deck.
Do yourself a favor and get the OLED model. The OG Deck’s LCD screen is really bad by today’s standards. The OLED screen and the dual touchpads are the two features that still stand out compared to the more recent competition. I don’t use the touchpads that often, though. For me personally, there are no must haves.
