- Comment on Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo 2 weeks ago:
Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve’s statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.
- Comment on Alleged Steam Machine specs according to Chris Mizo 2 weeks ago:
“Alleged”? Haven’t we known this for months?
- Comment on Resolution for output to monitor? 2 months ago:
Exactly. It’ll probably run Balatro at 4k/120 just fine but Cyberpunk is going to struggle at anything above 720p30/low

It’s it just Uncharted?
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 3 months ago:
I may be a minority
That would be a problem.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 3 months ago:
Exactly. And we saw people doing that with the Stream Deck. Disney was using it to control their robots. Ukraine was using them to control IRL turrets.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 3 months ago:
Probably 2 or 3 years before shortages are addressed.

“I think Valve was hoping for a much lower price and that the component issue would be short-term,” Cole said. “Obviously it is looking more like a long-term issue.”
I think we all knew this would be a long term issue.
- Comment on Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats 5 months ago:
Thank you! WTF
- Comment on Steam Replay is out, share your deck stats 5 months ago:
Yeah I received similar wrong numbers. I am nearly 100% controller at this point but I got ~25% also.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
So they’re changing the prices on the tag on the shelf as people walk up to them? And then doing the same at checkout?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Uhhhh how? Are they just not posting item prices anymore?
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 8 months ago:
That seems like something that could be fixed pretty easily, as opposed to the AI stuff that’s fundamentally flawed.
The neural wristband they demonstrated was actually extremely impressive and I can see a lot of different practical usecases for such a device.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 8 months ago:
Honestly I don’t get excited about any new tech outside of FOSS spaces. Tech used to be made to make your life better and now it’s almost exclusively used to exploit you.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 8 months ago:
Don’t forget about “the Metaverse”. You know, the thing he spent tens of billions of dollars on, renamed the company after, then promptly abandoned to chase AI grifting.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 8 months ago:
OMG thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed such a public fucking catastrophe.
I kinda respect them for actually attempting a live demo but I also can’t believe they were stupid enough to try it a live demo.
Then they try to use WiFi as a copout 🤣
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 9 months ago:
Despite some research, I can’t find a way to switch versions.
Brother, it says right in the screenshot you provided: “Select Platform Version to Install”
People on the web are saying that it’s better to use proton and not Linux versions.
In Steam, yes. In Heroic, your mileage may vary. My experience with Heroic using Proton is 50/50. Using Linux in Heroic is 100%. So try that, and see if you run into any issues.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 10 months ago:
switch, xbox, playstation, etc.
That’s probably what they’re talking about. Instead of emulating another controller you have 1st party support.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 10 months ago:
Then they shouldn’t say anything.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 10 months ago:
8bitdo controllers now offer SteamOS compatibility!
Full compatibility details coming soon.
What a non-announcement announcment.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck? - July 2025 10 months ago:
Midnight Fight Express
- Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape' 11 months ago:
Yes, because those are all equivalent situations

FFS, it was years ago, no one is claiming him as “our guy”, and he’s an extremely influential person so just take the win.
- Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next 11 months ago:
it’s likely that Microsoft will also attempt to move anti-cheat vendors out of kernel space

- Comment on Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS? 11 months ago:
The closest thing to SteamOS is ChimeraOS. Though it sounds like you’re mostly referring to Plasma, which is also included with Chimera, which is the desktop environment (DE) AKA the graphical user interface (GUI).
It is very friendly until you need to do something other than very basic things, at which point you’d better be prepared to become very familiar with the terminal.
Bazzite is the new hotness though, and it’s what I use, because it comes with a variety of customizations out of the box, and the ujust commands can greatly simplify a lot of common tasks that are otherwise far more complicated. Only downside of that is that it mostly only supports flatpaks and appimages, .deb and .rpm are the most common package formats and those have to be installed in containers, which comes with all the fun complications of containerization and sandboxing.
You might give GNOME a try though if you want to play around with something different. I much prefer it from an aesthetic perspective. Plasma is essentially made to look like Windows and GNOME more resembles MacOS.

If you want Arch there is ChimeraOS

Not with SteamOS you can’t
- Comment on Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen? 11 months ago:
There’s a vast different between “a part made in China” and “made by Chinese companies”.
- Comment on Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen? 11 months ago:
I think it’ll be a while until we get a hand held experience like the steam deck but with AAA capable hardware.
That will never happen. Physically larger devices are always going to be more performant. And AAA titles will just increase the demands of games accordingly.
