Received mine in July 2022. It's been my main gaming rig since. I don't plan on buying a gaming PC anymore. I'm waiting for the Steam Deck 2 for my next upgrade.

The best piece of hardware I ever had.

Despite being patched 3 times, this game still doesn't work with a RTX 3080 10GB under Windows 11 at the moment ;-(

As long as it's super buggy under Windows, as it is currently, there's little hope of getting good Linux compatibility via Proton...

Probably, but not a guarantee... Remember Elden Ring performance issues, at launch? Valve was able to mitigate the Windows issues with the use of Proton.

A matter of time before Liam posts an update saying: "Valve sent a patch to correct the mesa bug in Indiana Jones..."? Something along those lines?

Let's cross our fingers, but it seems a common pattern in cases like that.

I have absolutely no clue about AI, but I'm wondering if it couldn't be used, for old games that we have access to the code. Kind of feed that code to an AI that will make it compatible with modern hardware?

I trust in you all to correct me, if I'm wrong, which is highly probable. :grin:

So Steam Deck's BIOS has some battery maintenance options?

Yes. You must drain the battery while playing (let it shutdown while in game), connect the Steam Deck to the original charger (recommended), restart in Bios, disconnect from charger and let it completely drain. After that, the Steam Deck must be recharged for the next 6-8 hours. Rinse and repeat. Read that it could require more than one such cycle...

Let's hope so. Else I will have to think about a battery bank or a battery replacement (iFixIt or 185$USD if done by Valve, from what they told me).

Oooh, does SteamOS have a builtin battery health indicator or how did you get that value? Would be cool to know. :)

KDE shows this is desktop mode.

Exactly. The battery icon, in the task bar, will give you this info.

Edit: Right now, I'm in a full charge/ full drain (through bios) to see if I can get it to "reset" the battery health.

I'll take everything they give us in the battery department; my battery health stands at 70%, right now and it shows in my playtime.

Great OS. These guys are doing an awesome job upgrading and maintaining it.

Unfortunately, bluetooth support, on my PC, is finicky with Bazzite. I was using it up to two weeks ago, when I discovered that I could use stock SteamOS, with my hardware (all AMD).

It's easier when you write it. Nobody can see your face.

Personnally, I was using my Ultimate 2C with the dongle. For the Dolphin Emulator, it uses the same configurations that is used with my Steam Controllers' dongle, so I can use whichever I prefer without having to do any additional setup.

For my part, with the dongle, It was already working great. I guess this update makes Bluetooth support much better.
