Well the Steam Frame is mostly going to be a streaming headset from a gaming PC with the possibility of running things local, so you’re going to need a gaming PC to run things like HL: Alyx.

Uh…what was that about a snuggle session? LOL.
Also, people kick out others for being on Quest? Why not just launch VR Chat via SteamLink to your Quest? You can launch all SteamVR games via SteamLink to the Quest headset. I have a Quest 2 and use it for pretty much only streaming from my PC over WiFi from my Linux PC.

Steam Deck’s OS is immutable. It’s pretty “locked down” already, although not quite as a Switch.

There are rumors they plan to do this with the first Xbox handheld.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
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.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
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.
- Comment on With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows 7 months ago:
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 7 months 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.
- Comment on [Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck? 10 months ago:
Helldivers 2 runs great on my Steam Deck LCD. Great game.
- Comment on [Discussion] How is your Steam Deck's battery holding up? 11 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 11 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.

And Switch. And anything Retroarch supports.
The Steam Deck is amazing.

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