  I think my Intel nuk was 700 dollars after I bought all the parts for it l, it was primairly for battlefield 4, and minecraft, and it ran worse than it did on the ps3.

  Maybe the inflation from that time period matches the prices we pay now? But there has definately always been idiots like me who like form factor.

  I’m still not getting one unless its barebones for ~550 USD, but I’m the type of person who wants one.

  I am not unless it comes in a barebones kit like my old Intel nuk when bf 3 was new.

  Couldn’t run baulders gate with my wife on our beelink in the living room due to the same thing. Bazzite big picture mode thought it was a steam deck and bauldera gate 3 disabled multiplayer for the steam deck so you have to disable it in the commands.

  I wish you guys knew how important this page itself is, more than the steam frame.

  As soon as that steam verification system gets going and fex gets more and more matured its going to be crazy for arm devices.

  Like im talking arch based arm OS’s are going to become more popular. You can already run red dead 2 at 720p at 60fps on a midrange modern pocco phone.

  When the steam deck released pretty much only native Linux games ran well, or small indie games worked with proton. The whole verification system and valve working on proton at the same time really kicked up the speed at which games “just worked.” These days I do not even have to look at proton GE I can just blindly buy new games and expect them to work. For example I bought “RV there yet” the day it was released and there was no indication anywhere that it was playable, but I bought it anyways and it ran fine.

  When I first started Linux so much of getting a game to run was making wine prefixes and guessing what thing in winetricks you needed to get it to work. I don’t know what miceosoftsppack2006 is but I can tell you thats one of the first things I threw in my prefix because it worked for a game before. Fex is going through that same phase right now, you can play these games on your phone right now but its a series of toggling on and off comparability layers, or what APIs like vulkan work for this game, but not that one, etc. The whole process of having it on the market, and the verfication system, etc need to be in motion.

  Kind of lost excitement after the price tag. If Xbox and Sony raised their prices first I feel like maybe the public would of received the steam machines price better. Its still too much for me regardless, I don’t need one just wanted one as a fan boy.

  Also its the steam frame that is the more important one in my mind.

  Look up gamehub (don’t use it though it’s made by game sir I think) they are already using fex and you can play games like red dead 2 at 60fps 720p on a pocco phone.

  Like a year or two down the line the verification system will be super matured and you will just be able to play the games on your phone. Fex could potentially even help inspire someone to make a arch based operating system for phones so we have something other than Ubuntu touch and postmarket os. And it would be able to run pretty much any application. A lot of native Linux apps are already ported to arm like blender, being able to run exes and video games helps a lot.
