I put mine at lowest settings, 40-45fps cap. Runs fine.
- Comment on Steamdeck setup without PC 7 months ago:
Thank you. I’ll look into Lutris and Gnarly repacks when I have a day to mess around.
I found this post by doing a search for “TTW” on mbin and got lucky. YouTube and Reddit have been all but useless as tutorials all assume you have a windows pc for heavy lifting. I got a deck to be my pc.

How did you install TTW on your steam deck without a pc to run the installer? I’m willing to put up with the 12 hours if I have to.
- Comment on Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy 8 months ago:
I’d say if you’re going to keep it as a primary windows PC docked at home, but with the added gimmick of it being a handheld, ally isn’t that bad of an option. I just think Deck is way more interesting as a grownup toy and much more bang for its buck.
- Comment on Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy 8 months ago:
Yeah modding isn’t that much more difficult, but sometimes you have to drop a file in a specific folder that can be tricky to find since the directed paths aren’t always 1:1 with windows due to the wine bottling thing. It helps you can right click on a game in Steam desktop for a shortcut to a game’s specific folder, though. That and the community is usually willing to help you figure stuff out.
- Comment on Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy 8 months ago:
Ally has better specs, support for games which are easier to mod (because windows). It has not touch pads, worse battery life, and windows isn’t great for handheld. Might be good for an alternative windows “laptop” you can also game well with.
Deck has a really good community, is repairable, has touch pads, Steam OS desktop is built for mobile and insanely customizable thanks to Linux (I made mine behave Mac-like). Better battery. Not all games are guaranteed supported (many publishers ignore Linux, so the community or Steam itself usually puts the work in), some require tinkering, and publishers can bust games unexpectedly with anti-cheat efforts. That said, none of the games I’ve ever cared about have been affected. Desktop mode can be used for productivity, but you won’t be able to get away with as much as you would with a more mainstream Linux distribution because Steam OS is read-only and an update might remove some advanced functionality you might have installed. I’m not a Linux user, so I can’t really elaborate on that. Also Arch Linux (which Steam OS is built from) is like the Dark Souls of Linux distros, and not very good for newcomers.

I presume ally is better for someone who can’t stand much outside of windows and doesn’t mind using it at home most of the time.
- Comment on Is there any way to add latte-dock to steam deck desktop mode? 9 months ago:
Thank you for this!
I always feel ashamed to have to ask how to do what I imagine is pretty elementary stuff for regular Linux users, but now I feel kind of feel dumb for not just asking in the first place.
customizing the default Plasma Panel (right click on desktop > enter edit mode > add panel) is your best bet nowadays for a similar look
This will be more than enough for me. I was looking for latte-dock because I thought it was the only way to accomplish that look.

- Comment on Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it! 9 months ago:
I would also say imperceptible. The 2 critiques I have are that the audio can sound compressed through headphones, and there’s sometimes a spike in lag that happens around 20m in during some sessions. If I just disconnect and reconnect without putting the PS5 to sleep (usually a <10s process), it never happens again during even long sessions.
- Comment on PSA - MineTest on SteamDeck 9 months ago:
Does this game have a multiplayer component? Would be great to mess around in something like Minecraft again without the need of a subscription.
- Comment on Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it! 9 months ago:
Chiaki has legit been about 90% of my steam deck time. Anything newer or already in my PS+ collection I just stream. My deck is just for retro games and PC/Xbox gems that are playable on the system.
- Comment on Do you guys play old AAA games? 9 months ago:
It's one of the primary reasons I bought I deck. I game pretty much on PlayStation and do my work on a Mac, so the PC catalog has be largely unavailable to me until now. Anything built for PS4 forward (or ported from PS3) I don't mind buying on PS5 and streaming through Chiaki. Anything PS2 backwards (that never got a PC port or isn't already available on the PS+ subscription) is just easier to emulate. However, PS3 had a lot of gems that are only really available through the PC now, so I bought a deck to play those. Fallouts 3, NV, Final Fantasy XIII and the sequels I never actually had a chance to play, GTA IV. I hope I'll get to play the Killzone trilogy again someday.

- Comment on Which steam deck 9 months ago:
I got the 512 OLED and I’m quite smitten with it. It’s actually my very first gaming “pc”.
