- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 1 week 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.

- Comment on Discussion: Do you think the next steamdeck will be x86 or ARM? 2 months ago:
GamingOnLinux is a shitty spam blog and not a reliable source. We saw Proton-ARM and Waydroid in SteamDB. That’s it. Everything else is conjecture.
- Comment on Discussion: Do you think the next steamdeck will be x86 or ARM? 2 months ago:
We do know that Valve is working on a new VR headset that will be ARM based though
is enough for most people to assume that an ARM VR headset is coming
An assumption is not knowing a fact.
It would be stupid for Valve to not at least to explore possibilities but to say that we know that Valve is working on an ARM VR headset is not truthful.

You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
There’s always something that doesn’t work unfortunately.
Usually NVidia drivers which is why I gave the heads up regarding them. SteamOS on compatible hardware is ready to use as much as it gets, definitively better than using Windows on any device that’s not using keyboard and mouse as primary input. Again: That’s why sales of these are so low.

Not really on handhelds and console-style set top boxes. That’s why sales of these are so low.

- Comment on Valve's huge Steam Deck update is now ready for everyone, including rival AMD handhelds 2 months ago:
Yeah, why is that article the pinned post and not the real thing (I’m the first to submit it a few minutes ago, no cross-posting info displayed by Lemmy)?

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
Sure, but the original context was a new user wanting to try Linux on their gaming laptop.
And I was giving a heads up regarding Nvidia graphics and only Nvidia graphics. I know what I wrote.
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
If you’re assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS’ write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches.
For the specific context I was replying to – Nvidia drivers – Bazzite’s write protection is completely irrelevant because there are editions with Nvidia drivers preinstalled.
The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.
Depends on the use case. SteamOS comes with Distrobox. All non-Flatpak needs of mine can be achieved through this.
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO
None of the Nvidia issues are because of Bazzite. They are all because of NVidia’s drivers and those are the same everywhere. Nothing Nobara or anyone else but Nvidia can do. See docs.bazzite.gg/…/quirks/#nvidia-exclusive-issues
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
Is Bazzite an OS that I would use, or is it a set of drivers that lets SteamOS play nice with Nvidia?
You cannot install Nvidia drivers on SteamOS without jumping through more hoops than it’s worth because the system partition is write protected. You can unprotect it but the next SteamOS update everything will be reset.
All improvements from SteamOS eventually trickle down to all mainstream desktop Linux distributions anyway, just as all Red Hat improvements trickle down to SteamOS.
Bazzite happens to be a gaming-focused distribution but you can also just get Fedora KDE and have a good time as well. I happen to like the download assistant at bazzite.gg/#image-picker which more distribution should adopt.
- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 months ago:
Be mindful of Nvidia drivers, should that notebook come with a GeForce GPU. SteamOS does not support Nvidia. Use Bazzite in such a case.

- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 3 months ago:
There is no doubt. Sony is actually a great example because they were the ones who tried to remove purchases from Discovery. They faced zero legal consequences.
The legal justification is right there in the byline of the article you’ve linked.
- Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 3 months ago:
Steam and game publishers can always take your games away without prior notice.
Technically: Yes. Legally: Doubtful.
Publishers can choose to no longer run servers but to remove games from the accounts without compensation, would be legal trouble.
When Sony axed Concord, all buyers got a full refund for a reason and that reason isn’t that Sony is such a caring company.

My child is not old enough to read, let alone login and create an account.
“make her an account” does not mean that she should do it on her own.
