  There are rumors they plan to do this with the first Xbox handheld.

  Yeah it’s basically Arch with KDE Neon/gamescope that runs Steam in Big Picture mode with an immutable file system. That’s why Bazzite is able to make a StramOS-like experience. The hardest things are the hardware-specific tweaks.

  I was specifically referring to games as a subset of software in general. Generally, I haven’t run into a game that doesn’t “just work” on Linux unless the developer has non-working anti cheat. Are there any major games you’ve tried that that wasn’t the case?

  As for all software, we still have work to do there.

  SteamOS is purpose built for gaming. Windows LTSC is specifically not for gaming, but many shoehorn it into it.

  Arch is a stripped down version of Arch.

  Linux isn’t monolithic like Windows, so it can be purpose built for anything.

  Windows LTSC is designed for things like kiosks, ATMs, etc that have a long service life. It’s not made for gaming. It doesn’t even include things like DirectX by default, IIRC. You have to add it.

  Pretty much everything will run on Linux now. It’s just the companies behind the games being dumbasses and blocking it for their anti-cheat.

  A performance uplift plus double or tripled battery life compared to running on Windows…hot damn that’s impressive.

  Get rekt Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IMHO you shouldn’t have to run a stripped down Windows to get good results. It should just work that way out of the box. LTSC is not supposed to be a consumer OS.

  Helldivers 2 runs great on my Steam Deck LCD. Great game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] How is your Steam Deck's battery holding up?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming you meant 512GB, as 500MB wouldn’t even hold the OS.

  Also, you can get a replacement battery from iFixIt for $89.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Decksight update, plus funding time extended⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still don’t understand this. For $140 you’re 1/3 the way to a brand new OLED deck and even closer to a refurbished one. And you have an LCD model you can sell to make up the difference.

  Valve is such a rare breed of company. I hope Gabe hands it off to someone who believes equally in the same things he does.

  Need more storage for the Windows bloat.

  Thanks. I need eye bleach now.

  And Switch. And anything Retroarch supports.

  The Steam Deck is amazing.

  Slava Ukrani!

  Actually you can, as long as you own the game and are playing a backup of it.

  If you switch to Proton Experimental, it works. Says so in the article.
