What do you care about a year old post?
It showed up at the top for whatever reason.
- Comment on Finally the Onboard on screen keyboard works on Wayland 2 days ago:
I’m not running SteamOS.
And I was asking why you were posting that in the Steam Deck community. It’s off topic.
- Comment on Finally the Onboard on screen keyboard works on Wayland 3 days ago:
Steam’s keyboard doesn’t work on Plasma-Wayland at all.
Steam Deck doesn’t use Plasma Wayland, so what is your post doing here? Once Valve ship a SteamOS version with Plasma 6 on Wayland, they’ll have a working solution.
- Comment on The DeckFilter app got a big update recently, with faster library/wishlist sync, IsThereAnyDeal integration, and more 1 week ago:
Personally, I always find it weird when a developer relies on free data and then asks for money for a frontend that’s relatively simple by comparison.
The FAQ says nothing regarding splitting the proceeds with ProtonDB for example, yet the app generates traffic on the ProtonDB server.

What are they? Is there any deal and ???
Augmented Steam and github.com/cptpiepmatz/great-on-deck-search
Both work fine on Firefox for Android when sideloading the extensions.
There are also a bunch of user scripts which do similar things but I haven’t tested those.

- Comment on FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again 3 weeks ago:
But lowering all settings to low and Dynamic Resolution to max 100 min 66 gets me back to 30fps everywhere
That’s one of the criticism the author mentions early on. It’s really easy for developers to build in a check if their game is running on Steam Deck and then select the performance preset. It’s literally a task of only “if steamdeck=1 set performance profile to low” (so 1 line of code in most cases, a bit more work should they make a dedicated performance profile for Deck).
- Comment on FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again 3 weeks ago:
According to a few more open indie developers, there is a laborious verification process at Valve. I distinctly remember the developers of Selaco detailing their frustrations that they made a native SteamOS version of their game and because that one was somehow stuck at Valve in verification, Steam Deck even defaulted to the worse Windows version on Proton.

- Comment on Power bank to Steam Deck full chrages. 5 weeks ago:
I have a beefier version by that same brand. It’s somehow on sale almost all the time on Amazon. It works fine, the glossy finish of that screen is super dumb because you basically have to consciously put the cable on the back side of the power bank or it’ll scratch the screen like crazy.
- Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR 1 month ago:
why not use electron like windows and mac app
I bet that’s what they’ll be doing for the announced “native” app, so Chrome a stop-gap for the beta and the final release will have an integrated web renderer but the actual game delivery by still just opening the website.
So no idea what the fuss is about.
- Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR 1 month ago:
The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper.
So it’ll be CEF opening play.geforcenow.com
Why would it not be some way to launch the website? As long as it’s x86-64 code, it’s technically native.

Does this mean geforce now on Linux
flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --app=https://play.geforcenow.comIt’s just an icon for the Flatpak version of Google Chrome opening play.geforcenow.com
Hardly a game changer.

Not overstretching your financials is more important, though
- Comment on Wife was using the Deck, I wanted to play on the couch, I had to get creative 1 month ago:
CES is next week. Maybe an interesting 3rd party SteamOS device comes out or you make a console from cheap PC components and Bazzite as operating system.
- Comment on Wife was using the Deck, I wanted to play on the couch, I had to get creative 1 month ago:
Good enough to get me through until we can justify a second Deck 😬
Do you buy the same game twice, so a second copy for Switch? If yes, subtract the cost of the games off a second Steam Deck with family sharing. That was my justification back then when the Steam Deck was announced and I actually ended up with a number in game prices higher than the cost of the hardware.
- Comment on Any hints on how to connect the steam deck to the tv 1 month ago:
www.steamdeck.com/dock or a 3rd party equivalent.

Betas are unstable. Don’t use them if you don’t know what you’re doing.
- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 2 months ago:
The steam deck really can’t do 1080p
When docked, I use 1080p all the time.
- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 2 months ago:
A drop-in low power OLED display upgrade for LCD model Steam Decks
DeckSight requires a custom BIOS
future updates may temporarily disrupt DeckSight functionality until re-flashing is performed.
So, not drop-in after all.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 2 months ago:
Could Waydroid have anything to do with this device?
No, not specifically. The embedded controller is just a piece of hardware, apparently optimized for low power consumption and it is already compatible with Linux, so it makes sense to reuse that instead of making your own.
My guess is Waydroid will be used to bring Quest VR games to the stand-alone VR headset.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 2 months ago:
Valve hasn’t even announced their own steam machine yet have they? I’d be betting on ASUS to be first to market with whatever’s in the pipe from OEMs.
Valve didn’t announce anything. They technically didn’t even announce Deadlock. I think whatever will be announced, we’ll see next month at CES any my personal opinion is that a new generation ROG Ally with a SteamOS option is at the forefront (no way Asus isn’t also making a Windows one but perhaps with less fanfare).
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 2 months ago:
theverge.com/…/valve-steam-machines-steamos-steam… Sounds like they really are working on a standalone console
That’s about devices by 3rd party hardware OEMs.
- Comment on Looks like Valve is working on a SteamOS device codenamed fremont. Maybe a standalone Steam Box 2 months ago:
It could be reference hardware for 3rd parties looking to make SteamOS devices. We at know that’s happening.

- Comment on Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) 2 months ago:
They promised to release a generic version of it targeting more devices in the past, and this post hints that that day is closer.
This post says that Valve is talking about hardware by Valve partners with SteamOS developed in collaboration with these partners. It says nothing about it being generic.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 2 months ago:
As you wrote yourself, the controller acts as a mouse, not as a regular Xbox controller.
- Comment on [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers 2 months ago:
I fear that, just like the Steam Deck’s controller, it won’t be usable without Steam running. IMO by default and without any special “driver” running in the background, the sticks and buttons should just behave like a Xbox controller.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 2 months ago:
The problem is that handhelds need games that are easy to get and out of. PC has tons of those games while the PS4/PS5 has very few of.
No idea what you’re talking about. The top charting games on Steam Deck are mostly also available ob PS4/5.
Also while some people want to play console games on the go it’s less fun on a smaller screen.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 2 months ago:
IMO for this to have any chance against the Switch 2 it needs to be able to run PC games. Ps5 is already struggling with very few games (with most of them likely not working in such a handheld format), it needs something to sell on.
A handheld in development now will have at least launch-PS4 level of performance. Also, PS5 games just need to ship a Low Graphics preset most game developers make for PCs anyway.
