I got my SC2026 yesterday so my testing of it is limited; I do like the look and feel and several of the conmplaints I saw online regarding ergonomics with smaller hands seem unfounded at least to my grip. Also I havent had any issue with pinching of my middle finger against the triggers that others have, I guess my holding position is different. One great thing is the back buttons are so much better than the ones on the steam deck, much easier to actuate.

However my one big problem is cursor input via the trackpads in games, the cursor is active and moves in games or at least it seems to, but the drawn cursor on the screen remains fixed in one spot. This seems to be some sort of issue with Wayland; I have seen a couple of "fixes" one appears to require Libei (Tumbleweed seems to have the library but support not compliled in as nothing works); another is some tool called "extest" havent tried installing that yet. I have currently switched to an X11 session and its working.

Should note that this problem is not limited to the SC2026, it affects the original SC, and potentially other gamepads.

This handheld sort of reminds me of some of the prototype Steamdecks, what with the button positioning and the trackpads.

THis is on my wishlist, but havent picked it up. How does it compare to the likes of Humankind and Millenia ? I was kind of burned by humankind not as good as I would have liked, and Millenia has some similar focuses as Humankind (picking of tribes).

Yeah. From what I heard (Linus Tech Tips), they achieved it by shrinking the bezels. The overall size of the screen is unchanged. So, the original SD's screen might be upgradable. Let's wait and see...[/quote]In the Gamers Nexus video on it touches on this with a "statement" from a avlave engineer saying it isnt possible to swap in the OLED screen to a non OLED model; see at below timestamp:

I backed this on kickstarter, so cantw ait for the full release (even if I have Alpha/Beta access I prefer to play once games are complete)

Well that is a much more palatable price to me; so I have picked one up, worst case it goes into my PC instead!

Interesting project; though I have of course just swapped my Nvidia GTX1070 for a AMD RX 6700XT.

I plan on picking this up once Linux Native support is released officially.

If they dont then I may still pick it up once it hits the sales, so long as its Proton support is good.

Tempted to pickup the kickstand one; I saw the 'development' on reddit but your video on it is great at showcasing.

Quoting: pbIs there a way to filter out topics irrelevant to, nomen omen, gaming on linux? This one is more about developing on windows...

You could fitlter out the 'Meta' tag in your account profile it will then hide all these from the news feed you unless you specifically look at 'All'
