Quoting: BlackBloodRumI can't share my wallpaper for uh, reasons. But anyway, I thought everyone changed their wallpaper anyway?

Does anyone actually use the OS's default wallpaper, without changing it? :neutral:

I usually set it to a single, dark colour.(*) For minimum distraction.

(*) Like black.

Quoting: satorideponConsidering the price it's not that bad and actually is a solid alternative to LCD Deck.

GPU is worse, but everything else is better (well, no trackpads, but again most people wouldn't care).

The only problem is that $299 model is only 128gb and doesn't have SD card slot, which makes it kinda useless unless you plan to replace the SSD.

And of course I'm concerned on how they will support the OS (and if they will in the first place)

The first Steamdecks started as 64GB and sold quite smooth.

I bought one, too... but I wouldn't have without an SD card slot.

Good point, I think they're relying on the usb 3.2(data only) port.

I bought an SD card (I think it's 256 GB) which is now sitting in the Deck, like... fire and forget. USB will be less "portable", and totally less forget. But ok, it's (another) compromise.

Basicly ignorance and bloat.
It's a new kind of controller and the other stuff is there too.
Why learn a new trick when the old one still works.

I think it strongly depends on the games you want to play.

Quoting: EikeOuch, maybe it's rather here [External Link]?!?

So they do have touchpads, but decided not to include them for their SteamOS device (for pricing reasons I guess).

Okay that is pretty weird for them to not do them in the Linux/SteamOS/HoloISO version.

Also, can we finally get touchpad-based alternatives to standalone Steam Controller, please?

They needed to be cheaper or better than Steam Deck. They went for cheaper. That's ok in my book. There's people not using the trackpads on Steam Deck either.

Yeah, it's hard to compete against Valve, who can sell games for the devices for their profit.

Quoting: Liam DaweUpdated article to note the AYANEO OS previous plan, and that I've reached out to both AYANEO and Valve.

Next update.

It's $299.

https://ayaneo.com/article/807 [External Link]

WHAT

Curious about what a "subscription" means, though.

(notice they're calling it the "HoloISO System" now)

It's just bad translation. Subscribe for like a newsletter with updates.

I feel like this could be very easily misinterpreted to not mean some kind of newsletter:

On January 11th (EST), the all-new, highly cost-effective option, AYANEO NEXT LITE, subscriptions open 9:30 PM EST, 1/11/2024, starting at $299.

I guess it's supposed to mean some reservation, like Valve did?

Quoting: dpanterBleh, guess I didn't have enough fingers. Concerned this might hurt the Linux gaming handheld scene instead. I didn't trust Ayaneo before, things like this sure don't help and I definitely don't trust their ability to maintain a fringe spin of a fringe distro. [...]

Agreed. This either increases the longevity of this Ayaneo device, cause it taps into the tailor-making effort that goes into SteamOS via HoloISO. Or people are going to blame Linux and say it is worse than Windows for handhelds cause it is neither tailor made for the Ayaneo device nor a mainstream linux distro.

I don't think so. The target audience already knows that Steam Deck with Linux is running well, so I'd see the blame on the manufacturer.

Quoting: CybolicI'm for the idea, but the language of "content [...] created with the help of AI tools" might cause issues.

A popular method of using (what's commonly called) AI is for sketching out ideas and getting rapid feedback on them. If for example, a writer puts in a page worth of text and asks the AI to give its feedback on, say, the themes or tone of the text

Really? People trust the feedback of those things? On stuff like themes? That's, um, the word that keeps coming to my head is "pathetic".

What I could imagine as a useful application for AI when writing is having proposed a different way to express stuff, and then choose on your own what is better. (And I feel the former sentence could totally benefit. :D )
