- Comment on “It took 12 years of work to get here”: interview with Pierre-Loup Griffais, developer of SteamOS, the flagship OS of the Steam Deck 6 days ago:
This is a good point. I think it’s definitely worth people trying it out if they haven’t and they might be surprised by how good it is. That said, it does still depend on the person, if there’s a particular app or workflow that needs Windows and there’s simply no good alternative then you’re kinda stuck which sucks. For me I almost never boot into Windows these days but I still wouldn’t feel comfortable totally removing it yet. Maybe one day soon.

Haven’t read the article just yet but it’s so insane how far this has come and all the pieces that came together over so many years. Very excited about the future of SteamOS

I don’t know what you mean by ‘bring your game to the deck’. How is it any different from listing it on Steam? Anyway to answer the question I think it’s because they actually have a decent platform that’s worth the cost for most developers. If you start conditionally lowering prices you also create an extra incentive for people to hold off putting their games on steam in the hope of getting a special deal.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck (upcoming SteamOS beta for other devices) 1 week ago:
Thanks for this, sounds like a perfect use case for SteamOS! I’d love to have a setup like this at some point, maybe the new rumoured valve hardware can help with that too.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck (upcoming SteamOS beta for other devices) 1 week ago:
Why would you run this vs a regular distro? Not a criticism, just a genuine question because I’m running Pop OS and wondering if I should think about switching when this releases. From my understanding it might not actually be super well suited to run as a regular desktop OS compared to a regular distro.
- Comment on Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard 1 month ago:
Yes that’s exactly what I’m hoping for too. After using it I don’t want to use anything else. It’s not a huge deal for every game but it’s an absolute must have for some.
- Comment on Windows is Now Officially Supported on OLED Steam Deck 5 months ago:
I’d rather have SteamOS officially support more devices including desktop. Good on Valve for giving people options though.
- Comment on Valve confirms it'll support the ROG Ally with its Steam Deck operating system 5 months ago:
Great news! The more devices running SteamOS the better
- Comment on Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma 5 months ago:
Oh nice that sounds awesome! The only similar kinda thing I remember from back in the day was Microsoft Zone. Used to play a bit of Total Annihilation on there.

I don’t but it’s probably pretty region dependent. In Australia I used to play on Internode servers a lot.

Those were the days for sure. Dedicated servers were fantastic, you’d often run across the same people in the same server as well and get to know folks. A community, like you said.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 8 months ago:
Yeah it’s fucked. I was taking a bit of a break, maybe it becomes a permanent one.

Kill a man’s fish with plastic … you don’t feed that fish to him.

I would also worry about text readability but still, I’m excited to give this a try on the deck.
