i won't be buying one, but if it grows linux popularity i'm all for it!

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Same! I love the steamdeck and think it’s almost perfect. So I’ll just wait for the next one to upgrade. I’d probably just upgrade to show support for the project.

But firstly, I’m happy to see Linux growing.

It's Valve so I'm calling it now. There will be a Steam Deck 2. It wil be awesome.

There will be no Steam Deck 3. The market will take over and Valve will lose interest after the innovation is finished.

After Steam Deck 2, there will be Steam Deck 2 Episode 1.

I can see valve pulling out once steamos/ linux has become a major OS. That’s kind of their goal it seems.

Pre-configured hardware with pre-installed Linux is the best way to expand. The technical side of driver support and gaming support is solved already (besides one specific kind of games, but thats another topic for another day). The biggest hurdle for people is to try Linux and set it up themselves. Only a few nerds go this far. It's amazing right now!

New Go's won't have detachable controllers? That's unfortunate. I use mine like a tablet. There's no other small Linux-capable tablet that I know of.

edit: actually onexplayer makes similar ones.

Detachable controllers are one of the good points of the switch as well. Definitely think that idea should spread.

Read that the battery life of the Go isn't remarkable. How is it used as a tablet?

[–] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Around 10 hours of light web browsing on quiet mode.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago

That is longer that expected. But I don't know what I even expected. Laptops can reach those times too (although laptops have bigger batteries).

Ah ok (:

But they made the bottom chin bigger for some reason? The old go is symmetric.

Also I don't like OLED

Wonderful news!

Linux is the future of gaming and manufacturers are starting to realize.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 5 points 2 months ago

It would be nice to have direct comparison between Windows and SteamOS on same hardware, performance wise and also how many purchases.
