Does it support hardware acceleration?
- Comment on Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year 13 hours ago:
If they succeed with the frame and machine, the greedy & lazy competition will be even more rabid.
Instead of working and competing, they will sue until there’s no tomorrow.

- Comment on Linus Tech Tips “disappointed” Steam Machine won’t be priced like a console - Dexerto 4 days ago:
With a $500 pricing it would be sold out eternally. It would be a revolution.
+$700 = Niche product
+800 = DOA
- Comment on Epic Games Store users can now gift games to friends 4 days ago:
This. Corporate public traded company CEOs criticizing Valve as a monopoly when they alone made PC gaming the best platform ever to play games is freaking ridiculous. In exchange for our money, Valve gave us more than anyone else. The return we get is far greater than with any other gaming company.
Praise the GabeN & GOG.
- Comment on Steamworks SDK adds support for Linux Arm and Android, and it seems we know the first Android game on Steam 5 days ago:
If the Steam Machine ships without a dumb-proof way to use Netflix, Spotify & YouTube, it will be a weird thing to have in a living room.
They better deploy Waydroid not only for ARM but for x86 too.
- Comment on DF Direct Weekly #240: Steam Machine - Pricing, Specs, VRAM, ARM Ambitions + More 1 week ago:
the machine will be priced as a pc and not as a console (whatever that means)
Steam Machine 2: DOA 2
- Comment on [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame? 1 week ago:
Yes.
We are the niche of a niche. We need more content, as long as it’s relevant.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 1 week ago:
At 1k, it’s DOA.
I’ll be getting one and 4 controllers because my kids love the Steam Deck and I have a family library full of games.
But at that price point it won’t be able to appeal to people looking for a console. It will only appeal to the tiny segment of PC gamers that already have a Steam game library and want the native living room experience because streaming sucks.
The majority of PC gamers don’t care about couch gaming, this is why most PC ports don’t have splitscreen.
I love local coop and Linux, so for them to thrive, I hope Valve makes the right call, again.
- Comment on Steam Machine 1 week ago:
Well, they already did that with the Deck, they earn very little from the hardware. Chances are they’ll do the same.
- Comment on The Steam Deck now lets you do low-power, screen-off downloads, finally 2 weeks ago:
Does anyone know how does it work on a technical level?
- Comment on Inspired by Advance Wars, the new Earth vs Mars from Relic Entertainment is out now 3 weeks ago:
Warside is - 50% off right now. It’s early access but worth it as is for me. I’m looking forward to local multiplayer which is their roadmap.
- Comment on The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout 3 weeks ago:
I bet they know they can’t do anything other than a Deck with no screen if they don’t want it to fail like the SC1.
- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.14 brings an improved minimap, particle improvements and UI tweaks 1 month ago:
I wish they add controller support and splitscreen to their roadmap, I don’t even care when. I would just be happy if they think of it.

I realized I’m getting old because I was about to whine about it being a roguelite.
Looks cool though, I loved HAWX.

- Comment on WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration" 2 months ago:
Is it risky to run a Windows in a rootful container?
- Comment on The impressive app store Bazaar has arrived on Flathub 2 months ago:
True, but this app is just a few months old and is already way faster than Discover.

- Comment on Leaks again hint at Valve doing a proper Steam Machine Console 2 months ago:
That’s the most probable outcome, however I am hopeful… they are 4 and 7 but they already know how to use KDE to open and use Krita, GCompris, Steam, and others. They are curious and stay by my side as assistants when I have to open up my rigs or homelab.
Stay curious little penguins !
- Comment on Leaks again hint at Valve doing a proper Steam Machine Console 2 months ago:
I’ll buy this for my kids, a Steam console will mean:
- Ready to play
- Officially supported
- HDMI CEC compatible
- Wake on Bluetooth
- Resume after Sleep
- Reference target for devs
- Energy effiecient
- Bundled with a controller
- Probably cheaper than buying the parts for a PC
I have two gaming rigs running Bazzite, one with an XTX 7900 XT the other a 3080 TI, and a Steam Deck.
The benefits of a manufactured purpose built device like the steam deck really shows how superior the user experience can be versus a DIY path.
Personally I don’t care because I know my way around things, but my kids don’t, and still won’t until they grow. There are users that will never learn because they don’t want to, and this product is mainly for them.
- Comment on Valve 'Fremont' APU breaks cover on Geekbench, most likely for a future console 2 months ago:
