- Comment on Valve reconfirm the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller are due in 2026 4 days ago:
I want to install an OS once, and never be forced to change it on that machine.
I’d be wary of putting all your eggs in a single basket, many people believed Windows was the be-all OS until Microsoft started making funky decisions ultimately changing people’s perspective of their business.
Steam is great now but consider who is going to replace Gabe Newell when he retires or passes away.
I prefer Valve. 800lb gorilla, main driver of Proton, not likely to suddenly vanish or change leadership, brand recognition means many people will develop extensive documentation and implementation specifically for SteamOS
Under the hood SteamOS/Bazzite are Arch based whereas Ubuntu/PopOS/Linux-Mint are Debian based, the documentation that really matters is going to come from these primary derivatives of these distributions.
- Comment on I’ve already been using a “Steam Machine” for months, and I think it’s great 3 months ago:
Bought one when I got my raspberry pi, thought I would use it all the time, then I learned about SSH.
Poor thing just collects dust as the battery slowly dies peacefully.
- Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? 6 months ago:
If you aren’t familiar with Linux I would spend a little bit of time in a BASH shell playing around with commands. You really don’t want to be stuck in a scenario where your steam deck cannot boot, for some random reason, and all of sudden you know no commands or the structure of the filesystem.
