The Valve Steam Deck, lots of excitement and plenty to think about for Linux gaming

Quoting: GuestWin 11 on Steam deck 64BG version...
No, no possible (ok its possible but no free space for any game left)
I mean there must be an option to attach some (yeah, rather slow) USB3 stick/HDD to it with a Steam collection anyhow.
64 Gb won't get you far even with a slim Linux distro.

Quoting: subI still don't see how they'll manage to get the whole Steam Windows catalog (or even close) working fine with Proton until Dec.

As good and impressive that tech is and has come -v ery often I'm facing issues when trying a Windows through SteamPlay. No matter if I choose experimental or stable. Will they whitelist games that are known to work? But that's not what they promise ...

Btw, I don't run an exotic configuration. It's a Ryzen+5700XT and alway up-to-date Arch installation.
I think either the PR Team of Valve was either a bit over confident or they are working on something promising in the background, maybe we will see BattleEye/Easy Anti-Cheat working on Linux for non proton games this year.
Or they more or less expect the Windows flock to install Win 10/11 right away.

Quoting: subHas Rich Geldreich already spilled some hate over this new device?
I mean, his crusade against Valve can't possibly allow him to leave this news uncommented. :grin:
Damn, his Twitter account is protected since a few hours.
That's how you create your own bubble.

Will miss the hate.

Quoting: x_wingBTW, didn't know that SteamOS 3.0 was based on Arch Linux. When did that happen?
O'rly? Good choice.

Unlike other game engine reimplementations (OpenMW, openXcom, OpenRA, CorsixTH and so on), this isn't exactly "clean" in comparison which is why it's much more of a grey area.
Take OpenMW for instance: they just reverse-engineer the game file format, and create their own engine from scratch to load these.
But that way it would be close to impossible to exactly match the gameplay of the original, right?
AI, pathfinding, object interaction, etc...
One could come up with a game that looks like the original but most likely never comes close to the gameplay.
