- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified 5 days ago:
The game was “The Pale Beyond”
Here was them saying 10% of sales were on Deck.
Later on, after the game had been out awhile and had some sales, the percentage of deck players dropped to a still respectable 5%.
My interpretation of that is that the Deck users were more likely than non-Deck users to pay full price for the game at launch. Considering that deck users only make up 0.6% of players based on Valve’s hardware survey, it would seem like Deck owners buy far more games than the average user.

I think part 2 of 3, but I’m not completely sure.
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified 5 days ago:
the fact that it sold a lot means it’s a market that it’s probably worth the investment (can’t imagine it’s that much)
Something I’ve heard is that deck users tend to buy more games and more new releases than your average non-deck user (which makes sense considering most of us are financially well off enough to buy a second PC for portable play). So even though the total number of deck users isn’t huge compared to steam as a whole, there’s a much more significant percentage of launch purchases that are being played on deck.
Some indie game reported that 10% of their launch sales went to people playing on Steam Deck, which is a sizable market chunk, and a much higher percentage of players than the the steam hardware survey would suggest to expect.

I love it everytime I see a big company trying to ensure their game runs well on Deck. Companies caring about performance on a linux device at all is wild.

- Comment on Power bank to Steam Deck full chrages. 6 days ago:
I have this Baseus power bank, which is supposed to have 74 watt-hours. The top review did some testing, and got 62 watt-hours out of it, which is about 83% efficiency.
I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. It also shows what voltage/amperage it’s charging at, which is handy for identifying bad cables.

I hope you enjoy it, it’s been one of my all time favorite purchases I’ve ever made.
- Comment on Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS 1 week ago:
AS others have said, the key is making your son a separate steam account, and then adding him to your steam family so he can access your games. That will let you both play your games at the same time, as long as you aren’t trying to play the exact same copy of a game (1 game copy = 1 player at a time).
This also will give you access to some parental controls and let you limit what games he can access. I don’t want to share some games like Cyberpunk or Baldur’s gate with my younger kids for example.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
Charger is unclear, but I think it fits come included.
The vents are a real concern. They intend for this stand to work with multiple devices, so it’s very possible it will block the vents on some.
- Comment on [help] has anyone managed to run rocm on the deck? 1 week ago:
There are different pytorch install commands for cuda/ROCm. Usually the key to getting ROCm to work with AI GitHub projects is to edit a config file/launch option and replace the pytorch command with a ROCm one
- Comment on [help] has anyone managed to run rocm on the deck? 1 week ago:
Pytorch includes the necessary ROCm files for image gen as far as I know. My computer does have an /opt/ROCm folder but it’s only a few megabytes in size.
Unfortunately I don’t see any mention of pytorch in your linked program, and it does mention a proper ROCm install as a requirement there.
- Comment on [help] has anyone managed to run rocm on the deck? 1 week ago:
I probably can’t help, I have ROCM acceleration working on my desktop linux PC, but I never had to install the massive rocm files for it to work.
What specifically are you trying to run using ROCM?
- Comment on Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton 1 week ago:
Lemmy is a more technical crowd, but many deck owners don’t understand what proton is, or why they might need different versions.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
So far most controller/mouse/keyboard dongles seem to still be usb-A, so I’m not super against that.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 week ago:
Honestly the deck is already pushing how big a handheld can be and still be portable/handheld. I don’t think I would want anything larger

True, but who needs CEC when you can instead have RGB?

- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
That would be really nice, I hate how most mouse/keyboard brands don’t offer Linux configuration software.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
As far as I know, only the official dock supports CEC. If anyone knows of a different dock that supports it I hope they’ll let me know

- Comment on Steam Deck is getting official Nvidia GeForce Now support, with HDR 2 weeks ago:
That’s the current setup for playing Geforce Now on steam deck/linux. The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper. They also mentioned it will support HDR which currently isn’t possible with the kiosk chrome wrapper.
- Comment on small upgrade to my steam deck 2 weeks ago:
That’s super cool. It took me a second to realize why the perspective felt so wrong, but once I realized what I was looking at I was amazed.
- Comment on Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS at CES 2025 video by Verge 2 weeks ago:
Windows charges different license fees depending on how powerful a device is. Gaming hardware will have a more expensive license fee than a lower power device.
Honestly when you have devices like the steam deck targeting $400 starting price, paying up to $100 for a windows key is pretty significant.
- Comment on Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS at CES 2025 video by Verge 2 weeks ago:
Here’s an article on it for anyone who prefers reading:
gamingonlinux.com/…/lenovo-legion-go-s-with-valve…
The windows version will be available this month for $730, with other versions (including a $600 version) coming in May. The SteamOS version is coming in May for $500. I’m guessing the $600 windows version and $500 SteamOS version are basically the same hardware specs.

It’s not my guide, so I can’t add anything unfortunately.
