Quoting: elmapuli dont know if my math is wrong but...
1,18% of 1,557,600 is ~18379
7.58% of 18379 is ~ 1393

so the number of steam decks is just that?

what im doing wrong?
1.5 million already is the 1,18%. They're all Linux users. The whole number of active Steam users is > 100 million.

Quoting: mphuZIt's a shame that Valve hasn't released the SteamOS desktop distribution yet.
And even the new Big Picture is missing in the beta version of Steam.
maybe that is a good thing, if people start making comparissions on unsuported hardware, steamOS may get an bad reputation

Quoting: Leopard
Quoting: elmapulreally bad timing for then, steam deck will make linxu somewhat relevant and they will missing the hype train.
Nope.

If there is one thing Steam Deck does now, it is glorifying Steam itself.

Surely they are not limiting device in any way to handle other stores, you can even install Windows but since that is a console and most people will be opted to where out of box experience is good; it is Steam and Proton.
i know, but they would still make more money by supporting it than not supporting.
not to mention they can even enter the hardware market thenselves...maybe...
imagine an gogOS

Quoting: Avehicle7887Also Full HD on a 8" display seems like a potential battery drain and performance killer.
How is it going to kill performance if you just set a game to 720/800p? Battery is a good question though.
in 2 ways:
1)layman customers using the native resolution without knowing they can have an better performance by limiting the resolution (or maybe thinking more = better aways)

2)the screen may draw more power than an lowres screen, but that is just my speculation.

i hate the games as a service thing, because it often lead all games to become pay to win.

rather have an fix game without updates that you can self host an match.
is that the case?
