- Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming 5 weeks ago:
Good. Keeping it the same means that the original Steam Deck will remain a target device for game developers for longer.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 2 months ago:
It won’t have the same performance as a PS5, but the new Minisforum MS-A1 with a user-upgradable CPU is a really interesting proposition. The Ryzen 8700G is pretty good, but I would expect solid upgrades to be available in the next few CPU generations.
I currently have an Nvidia Shield Pro (2019), and it’s fine. I have Moonlight installed and can stream from my desktop PC using Sunshine (I do this on my Steam Deck, too), but I don’t expect that Nvidia will make a replacement, and I don’t know if I would get it if they did.
The software outside of Steam’s big picture mode isn’t ready for a full Linux couch experience, but it’s close. The two projects to watch are KDE Plasma Bigscreen and Waydroid (some people are starting to get Android TV working) which would be a nice bridge to use apps designed for a TV UI until native Linux versions become available.
- Comment on GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin getting an official Flatpak for Linux and Steam Deck 2 months ago:
They sued one specific switch emulator.
- Comment on Has anyone tried Hellblade 2 on the deck yet? 5 months ago:
fair.
- Comment on Has anyone tried Hellblade 2 on the deck yet? 5 months ago:
that’s unfortunate.
- Comment on Has anyone tried Hellblade 2 on the deck yet? 5 months ago:
I have a 5800X3D and RX7900XTX and I play at 1440p on high settings. Glancing at Mangohud, I haven’t seen a dip below 70fps, and usually hover around 85-95.

It works out of the box on my Linux PC with AMD CPU and GPU, and has pretty great dynamic resolution, so it probably works great on the deck.
