Manjaro Linux lead gives more info on the new ZOTAC GAMING ZONE handheld with AMD

But why not just use Steam OS? Why spend all this effort on a niche platform that nobody asked for? I have never heard of Zotac One launcher, and cannot imagine why would I possibly want it? A handheld device like this is not worth much without an ecosystem to back it up.

A bit late to the discussion, but for people looking for a drop-in replacement for Microsoft Office, you may want to take a look at WPS Office: https://www.wps.com/office/linux/ [External Link] It is an office suite from China that is as close to being a clone of Microsoft Office as it gets. It is not open-source though.

Does this also work when Steam Deck is suspended or powered off?

Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27%

The survey doesn't only come up in desktop mode.
Really? I have been running Steam primarily in Big Picture mode for something like 7 years now, and I have only ever seen the survey pop-up when I switched to desktop mode.

I do wonder how are they sampling Steam OS stats? I would imagine most Steam Decks are in Big Picture mode basically all the time, and the survey only pops up in Desktop mode. Wouldn't that skew it heavily against a Steam Deck ever being included in the survey?

Valve's SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview improves support for Asus and Lenovo handhelds
17 Apr 2025 at 5:33 am UTC

I have been using SteamOS on my homemade Steam Machine, and it's looking good. The power limit slider correctly goes to 165 W, can switch between 120 MHz and 60 MHz as supported by my TV. So it's not just for handhelds.

I have to admit that yes, I am totally confused about the difference between Team Fortress 2 Legacy and Team Fortress 2 Classic. :dizzy:
