What do you prefer to game with?
Steam Controller, obviously ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Not even a mention of it in Valve's announcement...

Open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver NVK hits Vulkan 1.0 conformance
23 Nov 2023 at 11:21 am UTC

Still experimental but it seems like open source NVIDIA drivers will get quite exciting through next year.
Ditching their current closed-source drivers and supporting Mesa would be such a great move by NVIDIA... Boy can dream :(

NVIDIA 545.29.06 Linux driver released with Source 2 game fix

Quoting: TheRiddickGood to see some small fixes. I would like it if NVIDIA worked on getting Explicit Sync hooked up in Gnome and Plasma Waylands outside of unofficial patches and hacks.
I would like it if NVIDIA addressed some decade(s)-long bugs with tearing and flickering ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I am on this line, Debian Sid is famously lagging behind with NVIDIA drivers but I don't mind ๐Ÿ˜Ž

SteamOS 3.5.5 rolls out to all Steam Deck owners, plus new Steam Client update

Great! Now can we get them to test their bonafide new Big Picture on NVIDIA? ๐Ÿ˜… Definitely not everything runs smoothly here...

Steam Deck OLED is just pure joy - the definitive Steam Deck

The Steam Deck OLED releases officially from Valve today
Hooray! Celebration ๐Ÿฅณ

Looks wise though, it's pretty much the same at first glance
At least it looks nearly exactly the same - that will reduce the FOMO levels in me ๐Ÿ˜„

Disclosure: much like the original Steam Deck, Valve said I can keep the Steam Deck OLED for ongoing coverage.
I am envious but well-deserved. You do a great job covering all things Steam Deck and making videos for Linux beginners ๐Ÿ’ช

Overall, seems like a very impressive upgrade. I guess it's good I am easily satisfied with subpar quality ๐Ÿ˜›

Quoting: elmapul
Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, this may not be a Steam Deck 2, but it seems at any rate something around Steam Deck 1.2 or so.
valve will think twice before they launch the deck 2, after all , tey dont know how to count to 3
Relax, they will simply release a Steam Deck 2: Episode 2 ๐Ÿ˜›

Quoting: PenglingI hope that they keep LCD as an option when the Steam Deck 2 eventually comes along. :shock: OLEDs hurt my eyes no matter how much you can change the brightness, and I also don't want to waste money on hardware that's guaranteed to die due to the organic components, so they're always a dealbreaker for me, unfortunately!
Also, I prefer to have a LCD option as long as its cheaper. I went for the cheapest option with my current Steam Deck since SD storage is all I need.
