Bazzite is great but people are going to be far more likely to install SteamOS just because it’s Steam.
- Comment on The Phawx got real SteamOS running on the ROG Ally 6 days ago:
I mean “real SteamOS” has always been available. It was just never tailored to those devices.

I just realized YouTube TV is not the same thing as the YouTube app on Android TV…
- Comment on [Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck? 2 weeks ago:
Nice. Well I happened to see it on sale on GoG and I prefer to buy from there anyway so I’ll give it another try.

Yes. What do I do about that?

Discord relentlessly badgers you to spend more money, sells your data to AI companies, and is about to IPO. How much worse could it get?
- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 weeks ago:
The other big FOSS Discord alternative is Synapse-Matrix with the Element X client
I don’t know why people keep comparing Discord and Matrix. They’re nothing alike. And the Element X app doesn’t even support “spaces”.
- Comment on Some questions before probably getting a Steam Deck 3 weeks ago:
I’ll probably get a (maybe used) Steam Deck by the end of 2025
If you’re looking at used devices, it may be best to keep your options open. Most other devices can have Bazzite installed and work more or less just like SteamOS.
Except getting Gnome, what are the advantages of getting Bazzite over Steam OS?
I have Bazzite on every device I own, except for Steam Deck. It’s just easier to get troubleshooting help, not that I’ve ever needed it. There’s also not really any benefit that I can tell, other than if you want to use it as actually a desktop computer, as SteamOS is missing some pretty basic utilities, as it’s not really designed for that purpose.

Good stuff, thanks!
- Comment on Stupid question about steam packages on sale 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know but I have the same question and it’s insane that it’s not obvious what’s in the package they’re expecting you to buy.
- Comment on Steam Deck News 4 weeks ago:
I install them with Heroic. Then tick the setting to automatically add them to Steam. Then launch them from Steam. Doesn’t always work but usually it does. Sometimes I have to launch them from Heroic first.

Hmmm I will look at picking it up in the Spring sale then.

Okay but does it work? Looked it up on launch and the reviews were chock full of crashes and bugs.
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 1 month ago:
No I mean the settings in Steam.
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 1 month ago:
Oh I see. Check the display settings? The little settings wheel on the right before you launch the app?
- Comment on FreeTube full screen 1 month ago:
The Steam Deck has a 16:10 display. The videos you’re watching are most likely 16:9 or 18:9 so it will always have black bars.

What’s your point?

That’s fine except the fee is not payable without a Google account. And I deleted mine years ago.

That’s not “being fair”, that’s just making excuses.

- Comment on Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024 2 months ago:
Honestly I don’t play any specific games more than others. I usually play them, beat them, move on.
Call of Juarez is a really fun and simple pick up and play game (I hate complicated games). Actually quite an ugly game, despite running at a locked 90/800p. I’m on my third playthrough now.
Adrift was a really visually and audibly beautiful game, but also kinda boring and frustrating (I still don’t understand how to navigate even though I beat it yesterday). The price makes up for it.
I’ll mention Neva and Planet of Lana in the same breath, as they are very very similar games, but both excellent, simple and beautiful. Frustratingly, they do not run at 90 FPS or 16:10. The puzzle aspect made Lana more fun but the battle aspect was way more fun in Neva.
My Friend Pedro is kind of a modern 2D Max Payne style game that I’ve got a lot of hours in.
