I did hear criticism that you need MS Visual C++ Studio to build the binaries and that there is no guarantee pull requests are granted that allow you to build outside of Windows, fair argument. We'll see.

I try to be fair, credit where credit due, they seem to be pivoting to a direction via the MIT license that makes them grow into something valuable.

At this point my reaction isn't pessimistic, but not really more than mildly optimistic. If they get a good track record for a few years I will expect great things to come from this.

"But I mean do we really need memory?"

In the near future, possibly the year 2030, you will not be allowed to own a modular computer as we know it now.

All data & compute will be centralized in the Mega Centers under central control and your device will only be a low powered screen you use for content consumption.

They will say it's for the environment, they will say it's for the children, they will say it's because scarcity and ewaste, but really it will be because centralized control means power, and is a means to an end.

I hope the RISC-V and HomeLab/Modders are paying attention, because compute is about to be dramatically reduced due to the strangulation on price of electricity, and economic warfare against the peasants.

I hope people have enough GOG, education materials & offline content stockpiled and are pushing the hardware frontiers that mean tech freedom for humanity.

This is a very interesting development, I will watch this from afar with great interest.

I see this as a potential shift to fame like Gabe Newel when Steam was new, very interesting development indeed.

RedHat and therefore IBM are terrible stewards of Xorg, which lead to the forking and creation of XLibre, which unlike Xorg is __NOT__ on "life support" with people trying to kill the project.

I've now read about Wayland for 15 years, and it still has basic issues according to conjecture.

Viva La X

Funny timing, a few weeks ago I scored 3 perfect 10s in a row in the Ring Of Fire and was surprised when there was no achievement.

Flat Out 2 is a great Steam Deck game, The Career Mode map circuits can be a little redundant, and some of the stunt modes like the High Jump seem almost impossible to score #1 on, but it runs great and is a lot of fun.

That video intro though, it's a PITA you can't skip like 2 minuets of startup video on Steam Deck launch.

Can someone please make a GabeCube startup video where all the cubes rolled look like companion cube colors edges when the cube jumps into place in the middle it becomes a heart.

That would be legit.

Presenting misinformation as fact because you "feel" that your exaggeration is true.

Regarding "Walled EAC Gardens" on Steam.
This is really simple.
Developers follow incentives.
Valve needs to incentivize developers to get their shit together.

If your game doesn't FULLY work on the new 2026 STEAM MACHINE, you are ineligible to be in the FEATURED GAMES BILLBOARD on the HOMEPAGE.

STEAM HOMEPAGE is a place for games COMPATIBLE with Steam Hardware.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

"Fix Steam Link freeze for users with AMD video cards ("Error 250")."

Anything that improves AMD GPU support is very welcome. I know on Windows Nvidia is defacto but on Linux AMD is much more comfortable, and Linux Steam VR has been an area in need of some Quality of Life improvements, thou I haven't tried my Index lately since I lent it out.

The name "KOMODO STATION" reminds me of "OKAMA GAME SPHERE"
