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.

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 )

Quoting: BrokattJust to illustrate how much of a disaster in leadership this is. Unity went from 4000 employees in 2020 to 7700 in 2022. That's almost doubling in size in two years.

That does sound though like the growth might have been unreasonable in the first place.

Quoting: EikeLook your list up here: https://checkmydeck.ofdgn.com/ [External Link]
I bet most of your "unsupported" games are "Valve is still working on...", which usually means that it works all fine.

This is the site i used yes.. For example EA Sport WRC shows unsupported, but i have been playing it since launch. Clocked 75 hours in it. Sons of the Forest is another one. Works perfectly.
Portal RTX, WRC Generations, WRC 10, Dirt Rally 2.0, RAGE, State of Mind, Mafia, Mafia 3 Definitive Edition, Valley, Project Cars 2, Elder Scroll online just to name few that are marked as unsupported but working without issues on my Linux PC.

But i guess they are somehow unsupported on Steam Deck maybe.

Edit: What i meant that they were tested by valve but marked unsupported i guess due deck incompatibilities?

Yes... no... I mean you can also look up the reason for being unsupported there. There's valid reasons like DRM or whatever, and then there's the reason that Valve is still working on the Steam Deck compatibility. I got no idea what that's supposed to mean, but every single game I got that has got that reason is working on Linux. I didn't test all of them, but I'm quite optimistic they're working on Deck as well.

Quoting: XpanderPretty sure everything i have on my library works on linux. Though i guess there could be few free to play games that have anti-cheat and not working, which i have downloaded.

113 unsupported is way too much though, but its steamdeck verification.

Quoting: pbIn my library:
VERIFIED: 12.43%
PLAYABLE: 23.20%
UNSUPPORTED: 9.84%
UNKNOWN: 54.52%

Not bad at all!

I got these, but it's not moving anymore since months:

VERIFIED: 146 games (34.68%)
PLAYABLE: 155 games (36.82%)
UNSUPPORTED: 27 games (6.41%)
UNKNOWN: 93 games (22.09%)
Of the unsupported, most are "Valve is still working on..." AKA false positives.
