I don’t get the fuss against it. People like different ways of looking at data 🤷♂️

Quoting: AsciiWolfDoes anyone know what systemd version SteamOS 3.8 uses? I'm asking because of a certain udev rules update. Thanks!Just checked on my OLED, it's 257 (257.7-2.3-arch).

Quoting: Claude_LibYou can install a game on another device directly from the Steam Library. Not the best flow, as it thinks you want to stream it, but it works.We also have the new Remote Downloads Management feature, which allows you to control downloads on other systems like adjusting downloads on a Steam Deck or other handhelds from your PC. Quite a useful one if you have multiple systems in a household.It only allows starting downloads that are already pending, not initiating new downloads on a remote device, for that I still have to open my community profile, go to Games, find the game and download it from there, I can't do it directly from the library, so that's kinda useless.
Also, a bunch of non-Steam shortcuts from my desktop popped up on my Deck with the "Stream" button instead of "Play". Maybe it's related to Remote Play, but I double checked and it's disabled everywhere. Anyone else having that issue?
Okay, for the non-Steam shortcuts issue, I had to switch the Remote Play toggle on and off several times on both devices, then it fixed itself.

Quoting: Renzatic GearI can guarantee I have smaller hands 😆🙃Quoting: Liam DaweWhen I eventually get one, it will be the true size test. I have tiny hands.In the meanwhile, Linus Tech Tips did a review of it, who also has small hands. The size itself is roughly comparable to an XBox controller, but he did complain about the span between the edge of the controller, and the analog sticks.
It's not a dealbreaker for me (I have regular non-gnomish hands), but I could see how it could be an issue for some.

Quoting: fearnflavioSounds great, can't wait to see it evolve.Quoting: hardpenguinNice look but the interface seems tiny compared to the screen size. Definitely not optimized for ten foot aka big TV screen couch gaming.Yes, we decided to do this like a MVP first and then gather feedback and improve it over time. We will have some settings for it like to increase the zoom size, skip-update or update before launching, installing and uninstalling games and more. This is just the start. We are hearing all feedback so far.
