  I do not have a gaming laptop though, and if Steam Deck has taught me anything, it’s that a Machine from Steam will have unnaturally long relevance and pretty cool support from Linux enthusiasts.

  I want them all, but I don’t know which order to get them in. I have a PS5+VR2, a Quest 3, and a Steam Deck, so I’m thinking Steam Machine first, since it has a controller, I can stop buying newer games from PlayStation, and I might be able to use my PSVR2 with a PC adapter. Then get a Frame later on after we get an idea of how “spatial computing” develops on Linux, and maybe a pass-through getup becomes available for it.

  But holy hell would I be happy to rid myself of Meta as soon as humanly possible.

  I hadn’t thought about that, but you are so correct it hurts.

  I don’t think a deck 2 is the goal. I think it’s Steam OS. Third parties will be building better hardware and just throwing Steam OS on it. Your Deck 2 will be made by whoever built the hardware configuration you prefer.

  Deckard is probably a means to ensure Steam OS is VR capable as well, which would also liberate PCVR from windows and meta as well.

  It doesn’t hurt that a brand new console, the switch 2, will ensure new AAA releases will still be playable on older mobile hardware. It guarantees that the current deck will still be able to chug along with new releases for another 6 or so years.

  Most windows users I know focus-build their PCs for games, then use them as they need to for other stuff. I can imagine having an OS that’s also focus-built for games as well being enticing.

  If I ever built my own gaming rig, it’ll be to run SteamOS.

  90% of my deck time has been with Chiaki.
