They also get parts made in Taiwan. But really if they did something bad with their OS version it be extremely easy to spot it unlike in Windows where backdoor malware can remain easily hidden.

The price of these third party handhelds is quite high (some of them cost more then top end laptop) and I don't think the 6800U APU is worth it even thought its on par with steam deck (basically same).

Also sad how they HARD push windows on these devices, like are you paying $100 on top for the windows license? how that work? I don't think MS give out free copies to companies!

I look forward to RDNA3 Zen4 and above APU's, those will be real interesting.

I think really this will come down to the developers at the end of day. Just keep a close on Unity3D, I'm not sure what shady stuff they could do or use this for but if they start defaulting malware into things then yeah, jump ship time for many honest devs!

A wait and see situation.

You can enable compression on the ARK folder and it all shrinks down to 30-40GB I think.

It's a shame the developer didn't move to Vulkan API for the game. It really could have used it instead of staying on DX11. No point doing it now with ARK2 just around the corner I guess.

Once RDNA3 handhelds hit the market (ie. Steam-Deck-2) then this will probably get another boost.

I'm just going to wait for AMD's next-next APU lineup see what handheld vendors can do with RDNA3.

You could probably just do something similar by making a custom shortcut that executes a command, I presume this is just launching plasma xserver basically. Things will get much easier when it all moves to wayland, once that is 100% ready.

I don't know what app you can setup to make custom shortcuts in the steamOS default mode, probably a terminal way of doing it.

System Shock 2 was a little less claustrophobic which probably helped it being more playable for many people. It felt less like traditional Descent like games.
