Get this and put SteamOS on it and you'll finally have the proper Steam Machine.

The final product is nicer looking than these in my opinion, though these aren't bad either.

Somehow Valve's games continue to be popular. L4D, Counter Strike, Portal, Team Fortress, Dota. For some reason people don't seem to get bored of these games.

Steam Deck 2 will likely be years away, but we'll likely see new devices running SteamOS from other vendors before that. Very nice.
I'd love to see a console running SteamOS to directly compete with XBox/PS5.

How could this be developed in 12 days (as the trailer suggests)? Is there already some open source MGS engine that they used?

Was this developed mainly for the AtariVCS?

With all these companies investing in Proton we'll probably see the time when Microsoft adds a new feature to DX and at the same time adds it to Proton.

If only it had the 6000 series (the one with RDNA igpu).

Quoting: const

Quoting: sarmadI don't understand this number. There are 9800 games on Steam that natively support Linux. I understand the verified status having more to do than just the game being playable, but shouldn't playable include all those 9800 native titles by default?

No, absolutely not. Matter of expectations.
There are quite a lot of games that work perfect on Linux but need fixes for handhelds in general or deck in specific (often the same would apply on windows)

Examples:
Games with very small text.
Games that get confused with any input you throw at them.
Games that have issues after waking up from sleep.
Games that show totally wrong control glyphs while playing.

etc...

One current example for me is Talos principle.
You can absolutely play it on Deck. It's beautiful, there is a great default controller layout defined, even with nice gyro settings. BUT: When I put it to sleep and wake it up, sound has gone and won't come back until I restart the game. And the ingame control glyphs are all just fancy rectangles. For me, it's still enjoyable, but Valve can't seriously call that ready for consumers.
Another example is Psychonauts. I may have to retest at some point, but last time I tried it, it would simply not react on any input.
There were quite a few other native titles that I couldn't get running. Some of them were fixed by forcing windows version with proton, some weren't. Yet, there are so many games that do run great, I just switch games and may come back to these games later...

You are describing "verified". I was talking about "playable".
