Is this the plan?? Steam Deck Update!

[@dominickeverest6471]

SteamOS for PCs will be the true game changer. I care about privacy and I have Linux and custom Distros on ALL my devices, so when SteamOS launches it likely won't replace my Main OS (GarudaLinux) but it'll finally lead to Linux being on par with Windows in terms of Plug'nPLay/Ease-of-Use. Especially since we'll see the new NexusModApp will drop around that time. With the growing public hostility towards Microsoft/Bill Gates and IoT social control Linux will be the escape route, and will dominate the Gaming market by 2030. I'm sure of it. So many other distros will benefit from this and no one will have an excuse not to run Linux as their daily driver!

[@AJRFans]

It is hard for me to switch from Windows to Linux. I don't know how you did it, but Windows 11 is not even good anymore! (Honestly it never was, I just gave it a chance)

[@lexcelius6921]

I to have been using Garuda on my PC since the release of the Steam Deck

[@lexcelius6921]

​@@AJRFanstry out Garuda Dragonized Gaming Addition. It has a pretty Corny Aestectic but it is a just works Distro

[@dominickeverest6471]

@@AJRFans Garuda and Bazzite both work out of the box, Mods just get slightly more complicated, but the new mod app will have native support. Linux is STUPID easy to use in 2024. Nvidia, AMD, and Intel hardware all work fine. It's about as simple as switching from iphone to android. (finally!)

SteamOS will be buried by 2030

Received refurbished Steam Deck Oled for £389, it is like new. Loving it 😍

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

How in this price in dollar?!is still same as 600$

[@Gl_3tch]

Do the conversion yourself. Just google it ​@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753

[@robertwendal5894]

​@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753the British pound is worth more than the American dollar so they're actually paying the same price as we are. Fun fact before 1976 all currency was based on the British pound's value not USD.

[@WeencieRants]

Hell yeah dude

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

@robertwendal5894 but did you know steam deck lcd price is 540$ and oled is 700$ out usa the white one is 1500$ just because the ship

[@Ejohns1004]

Why would you report on a "sale" that is 1: a referb, not a sale and 2: out of stock for almost 2 weeks. Even the pictures you used of the price say "OUT OF STOCK".

[@exodous02]

Rather than a steam console or PC under my TV I just want a steam deck with a either an oculink port or a thunderbolt 5 port, if thunderbolt 5 will work well with external GPUs. I have a WinMax 2 and use an external 3090 when I have it home. I just want a dock, kinda like the switch, for my steam deck but have an option to have a external GPU for more power when I'm home. The AMD APUs are great for small screens but when I'm home on my huge TV it would be nice to have more power.

[@dfj232]

A easy dual boot would be great start

[@robertwendal5894]

Valve should absolutely offer it as an upsell, I would pay to have native dual booting. They would move a lot more units as well.

[@CFWhitman]

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the difference between the white and black models came down to symbols for the buttons and the default operating system. If so, you could convert one to the other just by installing the other OS.

[@thorntech]

But steamdeck is out of stock on everything

now that microsoft owns call of duty they will do there best to make sure cod don't work on steam os even if there millions and millions of user

[@nepaliprayasgurung2594]

I haven't played Call of Duty ever since Advanced Warfare. I have stopped buying that game. However I do play Battlefield 3 /4 on my Steam Deck OLED with Windows!

[@SuperBean017]

Ever since I started playing counter strike I tend to forget call of duty exists

[@TheHardcoreGamer1]

COD is still going to be slop anyways though so it probably wouldn’t matter if it worked or not on the deck

[@theafchefstable8284]

You are thinking of sony son ....they do that well....

[@WillParker322]

[@finraziel]

I'm more interested in the big new legion go myself... Big oled screen, improved ergonomics, more performance with strix point, more memory... I hope all the leaks pan out and it's not too expensive (I'm hoping not over 900), and that Bazzite will work on it well (or we get a steam os version there as well which would be even better but leaks said no :( )

[@TheXipherZero]

Well, no IT degree needed for Bazzite on normal PC Hardware. If you have an AMD or Intel ARC GPU you are fine with a normal steamdeck experience. If you have an Nvidia card you covered with Bazzite but don't have the option of gamescope-session (SteamDeck gaming mode), but do have a normal Desktop session and games work fine there as well .... just not as streamlined as with gamescope-session. The real issue here is Nvidia having such crap drivers in comparison to their competition on Linux. If you want a gaming system that also has gamescope session like the steam deck, AMD/Intel hardware works well. Nvidia just limits you to having to use Desktop mode (Also you can use Steam BPM from the steam client in Desktop mode and its a similar experience to gamescope-session)

[@johncraftenworth7847]

the age of lenovo deck has begun

[@sav3429]

When I'm buying a handheld I'm buying it for steamOS not crappy windows and it feels so much better and faster and don't have bloatware running in the background.

[@leandrozanchin]

The only thing that holds me to Windows right now is the fact that VR Support for my Quest 2 is not there (AFAIK) and wheel and pedals drivers for simracing.

[@warlockboyburns]

I'm hoping we get steam os for the original legion go as well

[@TheSteamyPickle]

How dare you not want my eye crust and ear goobers. Share the love. Side note of you buy a used phone it’s been in the bathroom as much as the original owner has. Edit: you hate upscaling too! Go down the rabbit hole with us and watch threat interactive on KZbin.

[@playnicegames]

If you configure frame gen right it gives you the same latency as a 30 frames per second game

[@edwincolon7782]

My only gripe with valve is the leased software trend. Eventually someone will make GOG seamless where you actually own your games. That lawsuit will happen sooner than later. Also they sell matte screen protectors so you can just upgrade the SSD.

[@krriztin]

I use a Ghost Spectre Windows 11 on the Deck. Which actually lets me play Destiny at over 50fps. Installed on SD Card.

[@Sinuev1]

So Microsoft has been making a lot of overtures towards opening up the Xbox to being more like PC, and merging Xbox into PC - which, along with the supposed Xbox handheld, indicates that these days Microsoft is competing far more against Valve, than they are against Playstation. After all, Playstation can just muscle them out of the console space - but Proton. That has FAR wider reaching implications for MS as a whole. If Valve wants to really gain the edge while making Steam OS officially available on multiple devices - I think it would be wise of them to open up game pre-configurations to the community in the same way that controller remapping is. This way, people who do want the more console like interface don't have to worry about optimizing their games themselves. They can just pick their hardware platform from a drop-down list, read the description, and select the one they want. Obviously, this won't work on user-built PCs where hardware configurations are far too numerous for even the community to account for - but for popular laptop models, handheld PCs, and even the Xbox if MS is serious about letting Steam in their ecosystem? It'd be huge, and not something that Microsoft could easily emulate. I'm sure they'd try if the feature turned out to be as useful as I suspect it would - but in true Microsoft fashion, it would be a vastly more limited (and more buggy) experience than what Valve would offer.

[@SwitchAddict]

For me the steam website says the oled is still full price

[@Strellock]

Check the refurbished section, but it's likely sold out. Or wait a couple more hours, maybe they'll have the brand new ones discounted for the winter sale.

[@renkuria]

??? space marine 2 runs fine on deck, not sure what your on about guess your using bad settings. deck wizard easily gets it stable at 45 fps.

[@robertwendal5894]

In fairness to Microsoft they created a flatpak on day one for Xcloud controller compatibility. No other third party big company has sunk resources to make partial compatibility. Linux will never run the xbox app because the entire ecosystem is built in windows because they're owned by Microsoft. That's their specialty and linux is still only 4% of the market. So let's celebrate Microsoft for doing what they did which no other company did.

[@ekurisona663]

I only game on Windows and I don't have these problems

[@Tate2042]

I really hope games like new cods with their anti cheat will finnaly come to steamos/steam deck

[@velvetvideo]

the refurbs have been sold out since the announcement. :/

[@nach0x]

Oh sweet, finally a good discount on the oled, and "the steam deck is not available in your region" BS again.... I wish valve improved their sale range...

[@Energydrinc]

The steam deck is massive compared to the Ally. Js

[@dixon266]

Steam os only makes sense on subpar performance handhelds, you aint gonna get a massive boost running steamos over windows on a dedicated gaming rig with a discrete gpu. Come on.. 😂

All I want is native fortnite/cod on steamdeck

[@marekkedzierski8237]

Seems far fetched based just on one button icon.

[@SponsoredbyPfizer]

You have a tagged product you earn Commission on that is sold as new from Walmart but it’s 200 dollars over msrp. It’s the steam deck oled 1tb you are trying to advertise to people for 872. Pretty scummy, why not direct them directly to steam where they can buy a brand new one 650?

[@posterboi87]

Bro, these content creators are SO out of touch lol. This man just named EVERY current gen console as being "in front of his tv" and then said "I'm not that hardcore." That's INSANE lol that's why I mute channels like yours when I see them pop up lmfao

[@UltraKryptonian]

I will never game on a PlayStation 5. Backwards compatibility sucks and PlayStation has no gamez. You can only play Spiderman, so many times! GEEZ! Game Pass on Xbox gives you tons of console games across many generations of consoles, PC Games, Game discounts, movies, etc. Xbox owns all the great game publishers. Plus, if I want Steam games, I just go to my Windows gaming laptop, like I’ve done for years! And… I got a Lenovo Legion Go for less than five hundred dollars on Amazon, so it’s an Ultra Portable PC.
