Quoting: LudologicalThe test is upside down compared to the normal SteamDeck orientation.

Maybe it's a protective shell with screw on analogue stick covers, so you can take it with you without the hard case.

I know it's a render, as you point out seems upside down, and the writing is **also** upside-down, and with the knob looking nothing but a "useful" knob, I'd say is a docked-only case somehow. (I know it doesn't make sense since it's a portable device, but hey).

The usb-c port is at the top, and the official dock seems to have a cable to plug it on top, thus this "case" would "allow" to have it upside down while still looking cool.

Maybe someon running Silverblue (or an OS-Tree Distro) with KDE could give use some stats.
Also there's the posibility that the apps they bundle use different flatpak platforms (even though these should de-duplicate) adding to the disk usage, but really having two images (so in case the main one breaks you can roll back to the previous, not sure if this is how ostree works really) sounds a sensible thing to do.

I was also wondering, if Valve will start publishing Steam officially over flathub.org at some point?

Edit: Looking at Endless OS download ISOs https://endlessos.com/download/ They are between 14GB ~ 20GB, I know they are GNOME based, but still a good reference I'd say, although they seem to bundle a lot of software/tools.

Here the output of `df -h` on a Endless OS Live Image (from distrotest.net) if anyone is curious:

I though this only happened to me cause of my shitty rig heh Good thing is you can set it to happen on the background.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPOn the other hand, I don't really know if there is a market for such a handheld.

Well, thinking on it, look at how popular other handhelds like GPD Win has been and the excitement around things like the Alienware Concept UFO prototype and others. There's probably a good market for it, probably more so than VR I would say honestly.

If they were to tie it with a Steam Cloud Play (or whatever the Cloud streaming is named) it could work pretty nicely.

I wonder why Star Labs don't do any AMD laptops? This same machine with an AMD could sell cheaper (I believe) and to me it would be more appealing. Also maybe get rid of that 2.0 USB and add another USB-C Thunderbolt 4 :D

Quoting: ArehandoroHope they release a nice keyboard. Unfortunately, since I learned from the ZSA Moonlander my eyes can't look anywhere else: https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/

However, my wallet is looking everywhere else.

I am in the exact same situation :D

Here's hoping the my laptop doesn't die until Thunderbolt 4/USB4 is in an AMD laptop like this one, I want to be able to plug an eGPU if desired. I think a nice laptop like this one + egpu is the future (for me) :)

Else I'll have to get a desktop.

So I've been playing DRAG which is hard (just going thorugh the first challenge) and was planning on playing Dead Cells but for some reason the game doesn't fully detect the Steam controller and I inadvertently removed my saved game so I didn't even start 😂

Might do some 7 Days to Die or Team Fortress 2.

They are offering it, it's just none of DE willing to implement it

What do you mean? Is there something Nvidia-specific they need to implement?

EGLStreams

And you guys know what's the funniest thing? Windows 10 will soon have Wayland support in WSL2 no matter what GPU will be in use.

I don't have all the info/know the story, but I believe the whole linux ecosystem was pitching for GBM and nvidia just went their way with EGLStreams?

Quoting: WorMzyDon't chromebooks use ARM processors? If so, then they need *something* to emulate a x86 processor in order to make this a worthwhile exercise. I guess that's why they've gone for a VM solution (qemu can emulate x86: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-i386.html). No idea what the performance will be like though.

I think wine works on arm to a certain extent? https://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
