- Comment on Lenovo is reportedly planning to release a SteamOS variant of the Legion Go 2 at CES 2026 1 week ago:
No idea, it’s just regular Windows 11 underneath so I don’t believe it’s exempt from licensing.
- Comment on Lenovo is reportedly planning to release a SteamOS variant of the Legion Go 2 at CES 2026 1 week ago:
Makes sense - probably will perform better and they don’t have to pay for a license.
- Comment on Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone 1 week ago:
Not just run cooler, but smoother too.
The Moto X was the best phone I’ve ever used, and thays because they took the time to optimize instead of just throwing more RAM/CPU/GPU at the problem.
- Comment on It's a feature. 1 week ago:
There could be Call of Duty, but they’re so focused on selling you skins they can’t make an anticheat that doesn’t require being the NSA.

- Comment on Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth 3 weeks ago:
Just be mindful of the xbox controllers as I think it should be very picky about working only with specific versions of the controller, but what version of SteamOS are you on? It’s been on a journey of being enabled and disabled with each update.
You might want to try the beta version
- Comment on Valve has plans for a travel case that charges your Steam Deck, leak reveals 4 weeks ago:
Not having a cable in the patent is interesting…
Wonder if they would ever consider adding Qi2
- Comment on Valve employee Pierre-Loup Griffais talks more about anti-cheat support for Linux/SteamOS on FPS Podcast #83 4 weeks ago:
And when Windows removes the ability to use kernel level anticheating?
It’s nothing but a crutch for developers to detect cheaters. Look at Arc Raiders for example.
- Comment on Valve employee Pierre-Loup Griffais talks more about anti-cheat support for Linux/SteamOS on FPS Podcast #83 5 weeks ago:
There’s no reason your games anticheat shouldn’t be working under Linux.
- Comment on ARC Raiders is now Steam Deck Verified 5 weeks ago:
You could run it fine before, it just required experimental.
Your not going to be high quality at 60fps, but it’s certainly serviceable.
- Comment on ARC Raiders is now Steam Deck Verified 5 weeks ago:
Awesome news
- Comment on Steam Deck - Display-Off Downloads - Steam News 1 month ago:
Wonder if they’ll also add an option to wake up periodically to enter this mode when plugged in.
Would be nice for the Steam Deck connected to the dock and making sure updates are applied while at work…
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times 1 month ago:
I mean, its ironic that one of the developers of the graphics pipeline that most consoles use (DirectX) and one of three major consoles cant make their own OS perform better than Valve and a bunch of developers working in a cave on Linux, lol
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times 1 month ago:
The irony of it considering Microsoft’s tweaks to make it a “gaming mode” windows (which results in miniscule FPS gains).
- Comment on The cute co-op game LEGO Voyagers has released and it's Steam Deck Verified 3 months ago:
Could also be a chill partner game, akin to It Takes Two
- Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought 3 months ago:
Could probably do that anyway - they know you’re going to spend more money on Steam purchases with it.
They know you’re buying Silksong.
- Comment on Fantastic co-op game PEAK gets Steam Deck Verified with the latest updates 3 months ago:
If you’re getting that mad at peak, I definitely recommend not playing it.
It should be fun, not sweaty serious - it’s been a lot of fun with the fiancé on the couch using Steam Decks
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Nice, though they also have quakecon and the debut festival going on - Steam really needs to declutter its sale calendar.
- Comment on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 Is Very Playable On The Steam Deck - Preview 5 months ago:
Wonder how recompiling the N64 version of 3 would fare
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 5 months ago:
At least in Steam, there is a “use Nintendo layout” or something setting to swap X and A
- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.13 update gets fixes for more handhelds, fixes WiFi regression on Steam Deck OLED 5 months ago:
Any fix for the battery indicator not updating? Lost my tier 3 Control Expedition because of that :/
- Comment on Bento: a screen-less Steam Deck in a keyboard 6 months ago:
Could connect it to a virtual boy display
- Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally 6 months ago:
They also seem to be pivoting towards trying to make “Xbox PC” something to replace Steam (see the end of the Super Meat Boy 3d trailer).
I wouldn’t be surprised if they try and lock out developers from putting games on Steam and being exclusive to “Xbox PC”.
Worked so well for Xbox Live for Windows…
- Comment on Valve announce SteamOS Compatibility ratings, an extension of Steam Deck Verified for more devices 7 months ago:
On Steam Deck there is, dont believe that shows up on Desktop
- Comment on Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta 7 months ago:
I do hope they focus a bit on the UI going forward - we’ve noticed a lot of silly little bugs while either using the Steam Deck controls or a controller.
A little hard to close a window without focus when using a controller…
- Comment on SteamOS 3.7.5 for Steam Deck now in Beta with big upgrades and initial support for more hardware 7 months ago:
Bluetooth controllers can now wake LCD units from sleep, previously only available on OLED models.
Known issue: Bluetooth LE based controllers are not currently compatible with bluetooth wake on LCD models.
Nice, though I wonder which controllers are LE…

And they probably cost $80 total, if that.
- Comment on HP hasn't made an OMEN gaming handheld because of Windows, but they are open to making a SteamOS-powered handheld 8 months ago:
Probably have better luck convincing Agilent to make some cool shit
- Comment on Using the Steam Deck docked has been a dreadful experience for me. Is it just me going wrong? 8 months ago:
Yea, I’d try and alternative dock and maybe see if there’s something with the display settings - I have no issues using a simple USB adapter and some Xbox controllers.
I know the PS controllers can be finicky, as well as CEC causing problems - might need to see if those are some of the root causes by disabling/changing.

Have you tried manually setting the user agent to Desktop Windows as a workaround?
