I know I am late to this video, but funny thing is I actually own the same deck and have been scrolling through my library adding games and trying them out. After seeing him bitch about DBZ Kakarot I decided to check it out, and sure enough, literally one google search later, I learned that DBZ Kakarot runs fine on the Deck as is and doesn't even require you do a single thing but install the game to play it on max at constant 60 fps. Quantum is an actual moron, but thanks for getting me to try DBZ on my deck I guess lol

[@SNARC15]

He almost sounded like he wanted Steam Deck fans to be Pulse victims. Wouldn't be the first time he used that line before.

[@sneezyrider1]

It's true, in order to unlock the full potential of the SD you probably need to be able to do just a little bit of tinkering. I think what happened with QTV though is he realized it was beyond his capabilities and that insulted his intelligence. He's not a techy person, which is fine, but he's upset that people who are tech savvy are enjoying themselves.

[@Stoltzy92]

To answer something that quantum said near the end of the video, yes quantum. There are other devices in handheld form similar to the steam deck. There is an entire sub market now for portable handheld gaming PCs. AYN, Aya Neo, GPD, Ambernic, and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. If he dislikes Linux so much then maybe he should have gone for one of the handhelds I mentioned that come preinstalled with a windows OS, but then again finding that would've required basic research which we all know that quantum is deathly allergic to.

[@mikeymayhem_]

as a Linux and Steam Deck user I can confirm 1. Linux does not have a higher learning curve than windows, at least not anymore. 2. If you aren't willing to stick to deck verified titles, you are going to have issues. The list of verified titles is still way more than the total games you can play on your ps5. The point of the system is to show users what works and what requires tinkering. The Deck does not require tinkering if you use it like a console/ just use the Verified Games!

[@darkthunder2776]

As a Linux user for what 4-5 years I will have to disagree with you, BUT people do overblow it. Considering all the trouble shooting I hear about, I think people will work through it for the most part. The only problem is that games don't support linux for the most part, even with proton I have trouble. Or was that because of directx, I forget.

@@darkthunder2776 I've been using Windows and Linux on and off switching between the 2 for ~10 years (not meant as a flex). I would say that Linux, for the most part isn't inherently harder to learn to use than Windows, it's just not the same. It's like learning a second language, it's harder than the first one. I love my Deck, I love the fact that it can do everything a PC can even if it sometimes requires a bit of tinkering and yeah, not everything works 100% but I have a better experience with it than with my "peasant" tower PC for some games (i7-4770, 16GB RAM, RX580-8GB). I say some games, mostly cause I have a hard time playing first person games with a controller, even with gyro and/or trackpads, so for those rare games I do want to play, I do with keyboard and mouse, but that's a me problem.

Okay including taxes I paid an extra $400 for my Steamdeck so by his own logic Quantum has no room to sit at the table because he didn't pay as much as me so my opinion is worth more than his

Even Gameranx pointed out that it's something that you may need to tinker with to get it how you want. Quantum's really got the mindless consoomer mindset running on warpspeed thinking you shouldn't have to do anything to it.

[@The8bitbeard]

One cool thing about the Deck is you don't NEED to tinker with it. You can treat it like a Switch and just stick to game mode and verified titles, of which there are thousands. It's nice that it's an open platform that you CAN thinker with though.

I wonder how much of his problems with the display come from the fact that he bought the most expensive version.

[@aries0968]

Quantum annoys me for a number of reasons, but top of the list is his insistence that spending big = his RIGHT to be annoyed above and beyond anyone that didn't spend as much. Welp... as an owner of a Ryzen 9 based 3080 system choked with a chode of 64GB of RAM, pushing pixels to a 50" 4k OLED screen and a 1080p chat screen as a PC gamer... just like him... (it's a 3D modelling and rendering rig for my "other" job not just gaming, but I digress) So in terms of monetary spending for PC performance I would call my self "On par" with him to pass comment on the steam deck, by his own foolish pointless standards. ... I cheeped out and got the lowest cost steam deck, and upgraded it, did the research, and I am having a freaking great time with it because I did the f**king research, knew what I was buying and noted that anything beyond the mid-tier was only for bragging rights unless you "needed" the screen... and couldn't wait for an extra week or so to find out that there are 3rd party tempered and tinted screens that can be applied and replaced should it get scratched... If It is your intention to "Buy once cry once" you RESEARCH LIKE A MF BEFORE YOU BUY! You sure as fuck don't buy, spend "big" then bitch about it because the entirety of a 3rd party developers didn't actively alter decades worth of content to retroactively function on your portable PC because you lack the common sense or ability to use an alternate OS on that device while also failing to notice that you can actively download and USE your preferred OS if you wish... The man is a dullard, an absolute buffoon, a simpleton, a chiding and immature idiot that still somehow believes that throwing money at something somehow makes him better than other people... ... in short, a fool.

I love how he thinks valve chose linux case it's cheap. Well I switch to linux from windows 10 for a reason. And why valve chose it 1. Since Linux is open source, it's in many machines, such as vending machines, ATMs, heck even NASA use linux for their devices, not only cause it's free but because they can easily modify it to do whatever they want, but if you want windows on those machine, not only would you have to spend $60 for each machine, but also Windows is closed-source, meaning they can't modify it, so it increases chance for fatal errors, unknown data, much harder to program, and fear of spyware from microsoft. 2. According to Nintendo Switch reverse-engineer group, Nintendo switch uses a Unix-like OS with some parts of BSD. For those that aren't tech-savvy, this basically means that while Nintendo switch isn't linux, it uses a kind of clone of linux. This is fine, these things are called unix-like for a reason and it's not like they are hated, also, it's fine if a company does this, it's normal for a group or community to use open-source products for beneficial reasons. but you cannot say that "valve is cheap cause they use linux and linux is free" cause Nintendo literally does the exact same thing 3. Many people like me or even companies like valve switch to linux because microsoft are kinda... I can't say the word cause you know, youtube. But the word is a men-only part. Not only are they closed-source but also does shady stuff, besides being very spyware they also add features way too late you know how in windows 11 they have multi-desktop? Well did you know they had the same function on Linux for over a decade? Heck maybe in the 1990's they have that. Oh yeah and the recent addition of tabs on the file manager? Yeah, that's been on linux for over a decade too. This doesn't even scratch the surface of the power of linux. Valve made it clear that they want to switch to linux and want gamers to switch to linux. Heck, there are rumors that if Half-life 3 ever comes out, it will be a linux-exclusive. They don't like windows at all and will is actively trying to move gamers to linux. that's all I have to say, also for fun in the replies I'll talk about how many people worked on linux as a whole

[@ethanissupercool7168]

so, since to the power of open-source. Any developer can contribute to the code. The steam-deck uses multiple open source projects to compile it (this list will heavily rely of guessing and assuming each commit was made by 1 person) for linux itself, there are around 1,137,317 commit as of 2022 according to github. That's just linux, and assuming that this number is correct, if not then it's even higher. GNU, a main component for linux, has around 400 Employees. Steam OS uses Arch linux, and since Arch linux are huge linux dudes, we just assume for now that each one has commit just once, we get around 120,000 commits for steamOS itself, while hard to say, but if we were to say that every employee worked on the project one way or another, then that means we have around 500 employees then, to display the desktop for steamOS, they use KDE. Which has 500 employees alone, and according to github, there are 12,656 commits, not including the default apps like textpad or image viewer app. For compatibility, steam uses wine as it's base for their own product, which contains 160,412 commits. But Steam Created a modification of wine called proton, which extends wine's capabilities. Which assuming steam employees work on it, means we have 1,373 of contributors. So in conclusion, if we add this all up, the amount of people that are making linux a better gaming or a computer platform in general is 1,433,158 people, assuming each commit is a single person. This number also does not include the amount of commits outside of github, companies that contributed, or 3rd-party open-source apps, we haven't even begun with other projects like proton-GE which fix bugs from the original proton, emulators, open source apps, video game launcher like Heroic or Lutris which adds support to other big games like Epic games or blizzard. So yeah, welcome to the world of open-source. Linux is the future of gaming. Thanks to valve

Dude seems to forget that this is essentially a PC with a GTX 1050ti in handheld form for $400!! Then he has the nerve to say that users who bought the $400 model compared to the $650 model don't deserve an opinion, when they are literally the SAME DEVICE hardware-wise, the only thing that is different is the storage and the anti-glare screen. Now as a (somewhat) advanced Linux user, I have my own gripes with Linux and I can 100% agree with some of his complaints, because your average Steam Deck user isn't going to want to learn how to code or "sudo apt-get or pacman -S" or compile a program from its source code, just to install a web browser. Thankfully the Steam Deck comes with the majority of these programs pre-installed and most users won't have to do this.

[@SlainByTheWire]

Hey Quantum. I have the 512gb Steam Deck, a 3080 gaming PC, and a Switch. I believe that makes me qualified to call you a moron, the 800p screen on a screen that size is fine, IPS is not the lowest tier screen, and I love getting 40fps on modded BotW, which I play on CEMU that I installed using Emudeck because I know how to drag a .desktop installer on to.. get this... the desktop. Jesus Christ dude. This isn't a Mensa test.

[@PGtheVRguy]

Yes I like my Linux machine because I like Linux and I like tinkering with it. No I did not expect OLED 4k from the SteamDeck, in fact I was surprised with how nice it looked knowing the price because I have to actually know what I buy (unlike him) And no they didn't include a full on custom OS just to save a buck, they included it because it runs and gives a better user experience. Anyways I edited his review to only show the parts that were a genuine review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp_YZJudob2HpJI also btw what he means by "tinkering" is looking at a game and searching up if it works or nah. At worst you might have to click the START button on the game and select if you wanna use PROTON EXPERIMENTAL or a older version of Proton.

1. He should buy the Ayaneo Air and Ayaneo Next Pro, should be a “whimsical” purchase 2. isn’t the whole point being rich is to buy expensive things without worry because it’s like pocket change or did he take out a mortgage for it? 3. He ain’t a tech reviewer. Unless he starts being the next LinusTechTips, then perhaps he has a point. 4. I bet he just threw money at PC builders to build for him. 5. The Steam Deck community does have issues with the Steam Deck and Valve tries to refine it 6. I think Valve is ballsy enough to sell a Linux device and have people is happy with it. If it was a problem, the Steam Deck would’ve been DOA, but it’s now one of the most popular Linux fork, which also makes gaming more accessible to Linux and I am glad main Linux users are also benefitting 7. “Hardest, most ridiculous… thing… handheld!” Does any of the previous handheld allow one to just display their live FPS performance in any game? Good lord, he really wants a bare bones proprietary OS on the handheld which is also cheaper than fitting a Windows license any day.

About the 800p screen, on a 7 inch screen, it has a pixel density of 216 PPI. A gaming laptop with a 17 inch 1440p screen has a pixel density of 173 PPI. So the steam deck has a very good pixel density, despite the aparent lower resolution. And it makes running games much easier.

[@logicalfundy]

As far as the value I get from my own Steam Deck: I got the base model and put in a large SD card. I play a lot of indie / low end titles that give okay battery life. I use it around the house a lot and connect it to my TV. It actually kinda serves as a "second computer" when connected to my TV as I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and a padded board I can put on my lap (which also helps a lot with many games). When all is said and done - I think I've gotten my money's worth many times over. Not everybody will get that kind of value from the device - and that's fine. Just because one person doesn't get their money's worth doesn't mean nobody gets their money's worth. The Steam Deck gets most of its value from playing games on Steam, so it's an entertainment device, and entertainment is subjective. Being able to emulate older systems and use it as a PC are strong value-adds, though. Hope you do well, KlutzyKing. It's been entertaining watching this series.

As it's getting close to Christmas, Quantum is the gift that keeps on giving.

[@XxPetexXx]

I havent bought a steam deck but I am currently doing research to find put of I should. And here is the reason I want one. I am a dad of a 1 year old, I have a family and a job with limited time to game. Having something that performs WELL and can just be picked up and put down in a matter of a minute and played on the go in my hands sounds like something that would make gaming easier for me. Of course I am not expecting ot to rival my RTX 3060 Laptop. I am buying it for a different purpose. Quantum seems to think that the main selling point of the Steam Deck is RAW power... For most people its convenience. Yes the Switch exists but some ppl want to play other types of games

[@k4rnaj1k]

Tbh, the steam deck community is one of the reasons I bought it. Emudeck, wide reddit steam deck community n stuff. Yeah, steam deck has issues but anytime I needed something - there was some guide/reddit post/etc. that helped out.

[@k4rnaj1k]

Also - steam deck is great in pair with a gaming laptop/pc/etc. I don't need my rtx 3060 to play shovel knight.

[@k4rnaj1k]

The guy is comparing steam deck with a phone - but phones don't have that quality of games.

[@trytocomplete9667]

I want to see quantum name a laptop that has 1tb of storage, if not more, an oled screen that’s 1080p or above, power similiar or greater to a ps4 pro, easily be able to mod, be able to play EVERY steam game, maybe even vr games, low temperatures, quiet as a guy whispering, has windows 10 or 11 AND cost 650$ or less

[@ozozo12345]

I have owned a gaming laptop before. It ran great, managed to get a ton of space, and it was portable for the most part, but oh my god the heat it generated was stupid. Even in a cool place, my lap or table was burning and I've had it overheat on me several times. Gaming laptops are good, but they are crazy expensive if you wanna play more recent games or ones with high requirements. Steam Deck I won't buy cause I got a good tower, but if I ever needed TF2 on the go, I'll buy it, because I know what I'm getting can be more easily re-bought if it craps out compared to a laptop

[@relasoft]

Another hot take from Quantum; same logic as the Elden Ring one. Learn is not an option for Quantum.

[@NiCO-jo2vh]

okay quantum I will play into it. I paid 670€ for my steam deck and I even bought the dock for 99€. I am effectively one level above you and your opinion is invalid.

[@GameFreakuser]

When Quantum was talking about how much harder the Steam Deck was to use than any other portable console, he was in actuality telling us that the Steam Deck is the Dark Souls of portables. Quantum is now a confirmed gaming journalist.

[@Xenobears]

@2:02, well, that comment was just foreshadowing, as we well know now, lol. Quantum TV just can’t seem to help himself with the spurious copyright strikes.

[@Doublepulse]

Mysterious rumors state that if you go into the electronics section of Best Buy at 3 AM, you'll find Quantum TV with a cart of $3000 PC components and TVs berating you along the aisles.

[@ProtoKun7]

12:58 Wow, he genuinely went and said it. "Maybe I'm just _too_ smart guys...guys why are you laughing...guys?" And yeah sure my phone is higher resolution. I can't use it to play PC games though, unless I stream them. It also cost more than my Deck. Plus, on the subject of Elden Ring, I haven't played it myself but at least at the start, according to the LTT video when they tested Windows on the Steam Deck, the game actually ran better in Linux anyway. On the Deck.

[@ItsYoshh]

The fact that he does not understand that the Steam Deck is a marvel in the HANDHELD industry just baffles me.

[@masterace9543]

Someone give this man venn diagram between a handheld gaming console vs a handheld pc and he still wouldn't get it 😂

[@ItsYoshh]

@@masterace9543 I don't expect him to at this point. He is obviously a narcissist who stands firm in his stance. No matter how wrong he is. You can't find better quality or price point in a PC or Handheld that offers what the Steam Deck does.

[@Psykomancer]

On a 7" screen there is almost no difference between 720p and 1080p. Also, for the lower resolution and the IPS display (as opposed to OLED) you get lower power consumption, therefore a longer battery life. For a mobile device, battery life is a top spec.

[@niospartan]

For a guy that "knows screens" he definitely doesnt seem to know ips is for sure not the worst screens. Ive seen some horrible tn panels, and personally use a va panel monitor that is not as nice as my wifes ips panel monitor.

[@The8bitbeard]

Right. Among LCDs, IPS has long been considered the best way to go.

[@k4rnaj1k]

btw about paddles - some company got them patented first. And now any company making gamepads with paddles has to pay from every sale. That's part of the reason that "elite" controllers are more expensive. Afaik valve tried to say that their steam controller has something like "battery buttons" and not paddles when the patent trolls took them to court, but unfortunately valve lost and had to pay $4 millions.

[@The8bitbeard]

They appealed and won, actually. The Steam Controller still died as a result though. Hope we see a Steam Controller 2 soon.

[@dr.doctor4878]

Isn't it pathetic that tech reviewers only needed to post one video about one product, unless it is necessary to post a new video that provides a more in-depth description. However, 2 videos is the maximum. Now, how many videos did Quantum post about the Steam Deck? He needs to move on

[@speed3414]

He isn't getting the same attention he got with his terrible take on Elden Ring That's why he is trying so hard

[@SilverNightbane]

Probably because his self-perceived rival Act Man isn't covering him anymore. Wouldn't blame him, given YT sided with QcumberTV.

[@HareRaisingRobot5]

Garaa pointed out that he actually likes the steam deck and is just doing these videos for rage views, drama and clout. I’m sure I’m gonna enjoy this video, but I’m also glad that this is all over. The best way to deal with quackingducktv is to just ignore him from now on unless he is harassing you or someone else and/or causing real damage to KZbin. Let him fade back into his dark corner of obscurity.

[@HareRaisingRobot5]

Also, quackerstv is just trying to hook someone into causing another KZbin implosion just like with Mischief and and Actman, he basically reveals his whole plot towards the end of the video. All the more reason to just ignore him.

[@_tyrelljr]

I own the most expensive model and have a 1% rig as well, happy to help him with his issues, seems pretty bad, hope he's doing great

[@gringobandito7475]

My favorite part is he paid for the top model of a product and did 0 research.

[@arargon4816]

I've noticed that he deletes the comments on his videos that tell him he is wrong I find it hilarious he has to actually delete criticism so his ego doesn't get harmed. #getquantumtvoffyoutube

[@kizuhara]

Remember, he doesn't do research and it was a "whimsical" purchase. Thing is, there has been hand held gaming PC devices coming out for years now. Outside of the new Aya Neo which actually does boost more more performance over the Steam Deck, it is an expensive device. The hand held gaming PC market has been largely for enthusiast and they sold at cost to make and even more with shipping. You couldn't buy one, especially at the level where Steam Deck at, for under $900. He wants to focus on cost and saying it does nothing good for the PC market? This has opened up console gamers to the PC market who otherwise wouldn't even bother. Not to mention the people who build PCs bought the 64GB model to open it up and personally upgrade it themselves at less than it cost for the 512GB model. The problem with QTV is that Valve managed to make a hand held gaming PC that was affordable for the mass market. Because it gained so much traction from the moment it was announced, he bought his AFTER Valve finally fulfilled all pre-order queue and he wants to hate farm the community after we've had the thing in our hands for 9-10 months and have made great use of it. He's basically came out with these videos in extremely bad faith.

[@Jaymez2012]

The fact that his "reviews" are almost always more about him complaining about either what people think of him and his opinions or what he thinks about those people instead of the merits of the product the "review" is about says a lot. At this point, he might as well just go full-blown commentary. He obviously has A LOT more absolutely idiotic things to say, and I'd rather he just start saying them straight up instead hiding behind this obvious façade of being a "tech reviewer". I'm waiting for the day when the gloves come off and this man just implodes from all of the ire that everyone has for him because he'll have absolutely no one to blame for it but himself and he'll truly be the workhorse of the internet's salt mines.

[@Mika-Fresh]

17:39 “grease monkey logic” coming from the guy that can’t figure out partitioning.

[@telisto]

The Craziest thing about the steam deck is that even though I have a pc worth way more than the price of it, I still play my games on the steam deck 95% of the time. I didn't expect that to be the case when I bought it

[@futvnyc]

The guy keeps telling people who want a handheld to pick a pc over a handheld like they caN do the same thing when it comes to portability. He also said get a gaming laptop over a deck but once again the laptop isn't close to the portability it's day and night .

[@MaliceSpeedwagon]

Doesn’t the switch oled cost more then Xbox Series S lol

[@mik-ws3zw]

The absolute highest quality that the steam decks screen should be is 1080p. Especially because how small the screen is.

[@MasterPJ86]

Valve did not choose Linux because it's cheap and will keep the costs down, the reason is that with Linux (on AMD hardware) they have full control over the OS, what they can do with it, the features they implement, because it is open source and are not chained from some big company licenses restriction. That's why the deck become more compatible, has refined features, AND it runs more games and with more power with every system update. Thanks to the Linux open source choice, on windows we could forget all this, it would have been just a laptop with an integrated controller and big picture more on boot.

[@chapman3713]

It's funny to think he was the only one who bought the most expensive Steam Deck. He is the sole owner of the premium Steam Deck. What a king!

[@moister3727]

Valve choose Linux mainly because flexibility. Altrough it sounds nice to carry a Windows handheld at the end of the day it's just an un-optimised version of it. Un-optimised in a sense it has all the desktop, service and stuff people don't really need in a handheld. The price is another thing, it would cost a lot more if it included Windows and Valve wouldn't have nearly the amount of control in a OS sense if it had Windows over it. Linux can only go up in this sense, only keep improving.

[@sugar_beard]

Even on his conditions - he has no idea which users, who lefed negative comments, bought which version of steam deck, maybe most of them uses 512 gb version, he just decided somehow that they all owns a cheapest ones

[@ApolloSol_101]

Bets that Quantum tv might respond tomorrow

[@ardantop132na6]

Most likely. Since this is basically Elden Ring "review" 2.0, he NEED a new Mischief to artificially skyrocketed his views for his Narcissistic Addiction.

[@VyllenceGaming]

AND HE KEEPS TURNING OFF COMMENTS!! how can people leave bad comments or critique his hot dogsh!t takes if he turns off his comments?

[@StrengthScholar0]

Bruh the fact he turned off his comments is hysterical. He had to make his own little safe space.

[@Belson1994]

This video was good I feel like I lost some brain cells and quantum was complaining about the 720 p screen I used to have a PSP from the 2000s who remembers the 2000s specifically where the screen was horrible back then it was like 480 x 272 so next time he wants to complain about steam duck have a PSP from the 2000 era whoever picks up Steve deck I wish you luck and have a great device

[@lc1565]

I think every review of the Steam Deck mentions that the screen could definitely be better but understand the trade-offs involved between screen power consumption, battery life, size, weight, etc in a hand held device...

[@codyconnor6981]

‘They didn’t want to pay for the windows license.’ Well no shit Clowntum have you seen how expensive that is?

[@The8bitbeard]

Except Windows licenses are free for small screen devices, so he's just wrong there. They went with Linux so Microsoft cant stop them if they decided to kill competition.

[@TechmarineChris]

I can't wait for the day Quantum tries to set up a Raspberry Pi 400. Pretty sure his head will explode. Also, this guy goes on about gaming PCs but I bet he's an iPhone and Mac user given how little effort he likes to put into things.
