![]() ![]() ![]() If I can find a nice keyboard, or better yet, if someone makes a flip cover with a keyboard specifically designed for deck, I might try using it as an on-the-go PC. They just never took off here like they did in Japan. ![]() Yeah, it's hard to get a good ultra-portable made for US markets. So we'll just have to see how much of an impact that makes in OS selection. On the other hand, new people coming onto the platform might feel differently. I'm just not sure it's critical for most PC gamers. Yeah, there will definitely be some unique functionality with Steam OS. I can't wait to get my hands on mine, I totally want to try to replace my laptop (not just my switch) with it. Maybe it won't make everyone switch to gaming on Linux, but surely is going to dispell some preconceptions about gaming on Linux and even overall PC gaming. Since the console interface is going to replace Big Picture it will still be there in Windows and the same can be said for the controls, but there are some functions that may be low level enough that it would require direct support for Windows on the Deck by Valve, like the "plug and play library on a SD card" one or the suspend/resume feature. ![]() I think there's a threshold dictaded by how it "just works" out of the box with Linux vs how messy is to set up Windows in it. So we might not see as much Linux gaming on Deck as people imagine right now. So long as AMD provides compatible graphics drivers, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, I'm not entirely sure that majority of gamers on Steam Deck aren't going to just pave over the Steam OS with W10/11 install instead. ![]()
