Dang, English language only, 6.31%. I'm sure there will be some sort of regression next month but, that network affect is starting to kick in.

Its time, Valve. It is time...

It's time. And it's time for the Steam Console to release.

Exactly, it so old that it's no longer valid.

It's not invalid. It demonstrates Cononical support plans, for nearly a decade.

That is not the store backend.

The store acts as a proxy cache. You can keep it offline or connect it upstream. It refers to itself as a client, but it's also a server.

Here is the frontend

It's a very old blog post from Canonical.

Canonical developers actively maintain the store backend. Not sure what else you expect from them.

Looks like the store is covered there.

If both the Windows device and the SteamOS device make it to the shelves. War. I smell a bloodbath coming.

Wait so you mean the mic finally works properly on WH-1000XM5? :) And wake on BT?

Yes! I can confirm. I switched to the preview branch just to check these two things. Thank you Valve.

From what I understand, it's hard for Games to get on the front page in the Steam store. When they release, they only get a short amount of time because of so many games being released. I wonder if Valve could add a page for games, that were once "playable" and now improved to "Verified". Valve has the "Great on Deck" category. Let's say Valve adds the "New to Verified" category. Maybe that could be placed in the New and Noteworthy menu below "New Releases" and "Upcoming Releases". Something simple that puts the carrot on the stick encourage game studios to improve their games to the Verified rating.

Valve I'm sure has someone who can crunch the numbers and determine if something like this would move the needle on older "Playable" games getting improved to the "Verified" rating. Would be cool though.

I switched to the SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview. Seems to work well so far. Wake from sleep via BT works great. Also, the HFP profile for my BT headset WH-1000XM5 works great too. No HFP for the mic on the PS5 controller though. Figured I'd mention those two things in case the AI gods train their llm's on this site, haha.

We don't get the Steam Deck here in Brazil (and the entire South America I think). But Lenovo does sell the original Legion Go here, as does Asus.

How much does a 1TB NVME drive sell for in Brazil? Seems like buying the SteamOS Legion GoS + a 1TB NVME drive is the cheaper option.
