I completely agree with the goals, i do think that at 12,000USD it's very underfunded. I think they need to raise some capital first before doing this.

Kubuntu ain't a bad distro to start with using linux at all.

I know some people still use windows 7 and to them i have to say get on to it.

Frankly i don't see this product going for anything below the top priced deck and that is me being very charitable.

Other than that i think its a wake up call for valve to put some focus into making sure OEMs can use SteamOS.

Can devs use the virtual menus. As in pre provide configs for steam decks.

Quoting: pbSounds pretty smart, the danger of bricking SD should be minimal.
Although not that great to the 64GB version users...

If they use OStree much like fedora silverblue then only the changes are written.

There is a suprising lack of people using the opensource tag for games like this.

who have a patent for a game controller that has back paddles

Pretty sure this also includes Xbox controllers.

Wonder if they have the balls to sue MS.

Quoting: Liam DaweWell, all videos developers do about a game are promotional, that is the point. As for Kickstarter, that's given us tons of great games. Bit of a strange comment.

no i mean it looks like a soulless company promo. I would have preferred some gameplay montage with text to be honest.

As for kickstarter the problem with it most of the time is that novice game developers do not know how to handle the cash and add stretch goals.

I won't deny good games have not come out of it. However I also can't deny I respect devs that take the risk with game development(and the games come out more focused too due to the scope not getting too big).

The suit mentions how Valve require developers to sign an agreement that contains a "Most Favored Nations" provision to have developers keep the price of their games the same on Steam as other platforms.

could probably circumvent that using permanent sales(a lot of games do that) or platforms that sell(legal) keys like fanatical.
a lot of games are just cheaper on fanatical though permanent sales
Take for example P4G which was always 16€ when the steam release was always at 20€
right now its 13€

There is a high possibility that instead of these third parties having to put a X%"tax" they just pay a price to get a bunch of keys straight from the OEM and then sell them.

This video is not good. Looks like a company promo.

The fact that its also Kickstarter is worrying.
