They really, badly, need to come up with a better name though.

Cargocalypse! :happy:

For a traditional console, the anti-cheat situation is going to be a major roadblock. Who knows, Valve may be doing their tests with the Xbox ROG Ally windows version? They might offer both options?

This said, I would get one to install SteamOS on it, right from the start.

Nice! I would like to see this happen to their "Lego Lord of the Rings" tittle. Probably my favorite Lego game.

Local gaming always felt weird, on a cloud based laptop. GeForce Now, Xbox Gamepass (cloud) and Amazon Luna are feeling more aligned with this philosophy.

So... A Valve branded SteamOS laptop? :wink:

Great news!

I'm just wondering how many of these new Linux users are running old pcs that will be left unsupported by Win11, when Win10 will have been buried by Microsoft.

I'm pretty sure the base model is DOA as in "it brings nothing new to the table" and the top model with an AI chip... $$$$$$, even if Microsoft undercuts it. Probably over 1k$ USD, thus leaving the low end/affordable market to the Steam Deck.

3rd party hardware... The price will probably be on the high side. That's the biggest advantage that the Steam Deck still has. As long as nobody tries to challenge that, the Steam Deck will continue to be relevant.

Edit: And Let's wait for the look and feel of the "Xbox UI". Anybody remembers the Win8 fiasco? Other than that, if it looks anything like the Xbox UI, personnally, I hate it. Pretty limited. What about the drivers and system updates? Like traditional Windows? Yuk!

Still waiting for Star Wars: Survivor. That's the only game that I can't play locally (with acceptable performances), on my Steam Deck.

I've been running SteamOS on my AMD based PC (Ryzen 5 3600 - RX 6600) for the last couple of months. Its perfect, for my part.

Just create the Steam recovery image following Valve's instructions and boot your pc on this usb drive. Pretty straightforward.

Wow! I can use my Steam Controllers with GeForce Now, via Bluetooth, rumble and all. Awesome!

Edit: Same goes for DS4 controllers.

Edit 2: I just discovered that my DS4 controller can wake my LCD Steam Deck from sleep, via Bluetooth. That's the only one I tested that does that, aside from my Steam controllers, via dongle.
