I'm tempering my excitement because of the development history of this, however I am highly anticipating this. They should take a page from the UNIX philosophy and just release it -- if they want to improve it with 1.1 and 1.2 milestones -- that's definitely the way.

Working copy works? Good -- ship it. Just imagine all the changes since Terraria was released, or Stardew Valley. It's okay to push perfection & details off after release and actually interact with the community to get to that perfection.

The big blocker for me trying their laptops is that I strongly prefer AMD and would really like to have coreboot.

Every time I've ever bought a laptop with Nvidia, it always was a headache. I'd take Intel Graphics over Nvidia any day just because it works. But these days everything I buy is all AMD.

I like their lightup keyboard, but I'm not sure how I feel about the layout as others with locale needs have noted.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThere was some guy on Steam that was running his mouth off about even Valve switching Dota2 over to proton because he didn't understand what Steam Linux Runtime meant.

That 24 key M cluster on the left, I would love to macro Sway/i3 commands to those. Move. Resize. Navigate. Float / Dock.

This gives me Black Mesa Xen vibes.

Also Half Life Alyx

Quoting: slaapliedjeSerious Sam 4... like the only Croteam game that isn't Linux Native (yet?). Was saddened when they stopped their awesome trend...

It seemed like their development process was shaken up pretty badly when covid 2019 happened and then the next year people had to adapt to remote workflows who weren't calibrated for that.

I still haven't bought SS4, I've bought all their other Linux titles.

It looks like their review score is 83% positive, when they launched it was off to a much shakier start

Maybe I'll buy for the Steam Deck if they target it and work the bugs out, I do expect support in exchange for my money and that products work.

Quoting: TrainDoc

Quoting: TheRiddickThis thing taking way to long to come to Australia, wonder what the Steam Deck 2 will be like. Maybe a 7000 series APU? or perhaps they will get a custom RDNA3 job done.

I want to temper your expectations. Just because Gabe said he's interested in a second model...

Doesn't mean we'll ever see one and my expectation is that we will likely not see one. You can hold me to that.

If I had to speculate I would guess that the interval would be no less than 2 years. Mostly because I think the R&D and then production would take considerable planning and time. Theoretically they could have the human resource timelines overlapping, but I still don't think I'd holy my breath. It seems Valve likes to go through the full process, learn their weaknesses and then incorporate their findings into their next big product, so I doubt they overlap really.

Hmm, I think people could simplify it by symlinking. As an example:

`ln -s TARGET_DESTINATION LINK_DESTINATION`

`ln -s ~/.steam/steam/userdata/yourid/YOUR_USER_ID_HERE/remote/gameid/screenshots/ ~/Screenshots`

I didn't actually learn about these directories until recently.

Edit: I checked, for me it appears to be here: ( I simply typed in .jpg into the search bar to find the directory path.
`ln -s ~/.steam/steam/userdata/########/###/remote/######/screenshots/ ~/Screenshots`
