- Comment on [Game] Hogwarts Legacy Adds FSR 3 and XeSS 2 With Mod Fixes in New Update 2 weeks ago:
This is the Steam Deck community. Technically speaking, giving her money is not required because Deck is not a traditional games console.🏴☠️
- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview: Variable Release Rate 2 weeks ago:
SteamOS is not a good general purpose distribution for random PCs. Internationalization is basically non existent. For an external keyboard the layout is hardcoded to US in Game Mode and for people who don’t know where to look it’s basically impossible to find where to change it in Plasma/Desktop Mode. Language files including spell check dictionaries are unavailable for anything but English, presumably to save storage space everywhere for the 64GB Deck.
If you manually set the system language to anything but English, you end up with a weird mishmash of languages because the .desktop files still contain all translations, GUIs of bundled apps stay English, and Flatpak apps respect the language setting.
The sole thing SteamOS has over other distributions is the fact that you can order a Steam Deck and everything is already right there. Once installation on random PCs comes into play, SteamOS loses against Fedora and alike hands down because those have the wizards to set up language, encryption, dual boot, etc.

- Comment on Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally? 4 weeks ago:
So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying “Yup, it’s now fully compatible with the RoG Ally”.
I have doubts there will ever be such formal announcements for devices that don’t run SteamOS out of the box. With more OEMs deciding to ship SteamOS, for other devices will work better as a side effect.

- Comment on New Stable Steam Client update for Deck and Desktop 4 weeks ago:
This is only the Steam client itself which gets updated independently of SteamOS.
- Comment on Low battery notification requrst 5 weeks ago:
Why don’t you just shut down the Deck? Unlike suspend, there is almost no battery drain. Startup isn’t that slow for it to be a chore IMO.

- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 5 weeks ago:
It’s slightly different than SteamOS as it’s immutable Fedora rather than Arch.
I have yet to try Bazzite myself but as I see it, for the average user both are essentially the same, no? Launches into Steam Game Mode and Desktop Mode is the same Plasma desktop with Discover they read about in tutorials, right?

- Comment on The impossible Steam Deck update just dropped. 1 month ago:
This is copied from the video description
Which in itself is copy and paste from most of steamcommunity.com/games/…/529841158837240757
This is a lame ass video
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 2 months ago:
If you only play Mario, Zelda and such, that’s perfectly fine and then a Nintendo’s own console is obviously superior.
3rd party games usually run much better on Steam Deck (not surprisingly because of its much more recent hardware). I bought Team Sonic Racing again on Steam after I had a very bad experience playing the Switch version in split screen multiplayer. It just stutters way to much and on one course it’s IMO unplayable.

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 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 months 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 months 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.
