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

SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview brings the 'beginnings of support for non-Steam Deck handhelds'

@Brokatt
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.

Steam Deck hits 18,000 games playable and verified

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.

Lenovo Legion Go S with Valve's SteamOS is official, expected to launch in May

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.

the Lenovo Legion Go S isn't jumping out at me to buy it because those trackpads look terrible and the specs are not too good.
I thought that too. But really, Lenovo will be able to sell in places Valve can not reach yet. And I think that is a lot of places. If the Legion GoS was my only option, I'd buy it without question.

That's assuming Lenovo actually put any effort into pushing the SteamOS version... Which historically, hasn't been the case with third-party manufacturers.
Do you mean, third-party manufacturers not putting any effort into support Linux with their hardware?

What is this? A touchpad for ants?
I thought it was a fingerprint sensor for Windows Hello.

I wish other publishers took this non-asshole route (ie; Roblox, and anyone that set up a situation where Linux use can somehow be blamed but it won't get rid of cheating).
The numbers are getting too big to deny.
