Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

I've tried switching to Linux and didn't succeed. Nevertheless i wouldn't wanna see a Microsoft Deck with Windows 11.
Tons of Windows based gaming handhelds already exist from Asus, Lenovo, Aya, GPD, etc. I'd doubt Microsoft releasing one, hypothetical Valve acquisition or not, would set the world on fire.
Knowing good old M$, though, if they tried it they'd make it some kind of Xbox product.
I would buy Valve as well, but that doesn't change the fact they are not for sale.
Xbox fans will say this is good.
But they would be wrong. More monopoly is never good.
DONE with valve if this were to happen.
I'd rather not game at all than put up with that shit.
Anyone else foresee a "Microsoft VS Disney Power Games" style thing coming soon? Since MS is practically buying game companies like no tomorrow....
Fist Nintendo and now Valve. They really dream big. But even if they would be up for purchase, I don't think it would be allowed after how long it took for Blizzard to be bought.
Guess WE should buy it. Ensure 51% of the shares are locked up tight. It is a private company, so Valve would have to be cool with it. Otherwise, the wrong person getting a divorce, dividing assets in half, and it is all over.
Is xBox not enough?
