Quoting: KohlyKohlI'm not as convinced as you are. Also, what happens when they break their system, which is much easier to do under Arch? I really hope Valve has an easy way to reinstall SteamOS on these.
download an image. copy it on an SD CARD. put it in the deck. press some buttons and it installs everything

shouldnt be that hard

Quoting: g000hI'm waiting for Microsoft to offer Valve a free Windows licence for each Steam Deck, or even better - Pay Valve to put Windows onto the device.
since it is an open device you may can install windows by yourself
but i think steamos is very optimized for it, so maybe even better performance with proton, than with windows on it

Quoting: slaapliedjeI think the real question is how many new games will we get as Linux native when developers want to make games for this new 'console' and can finally convince publishers there is enough interest?
depends on how many devices they sell
but i dont think a lot of AAA titles will change anything since they wont work on it anyways. i am kinda sceptical about doom and control. do they really run smooth on it?

tomb raider? metro? i hope we get some independent reviews soon

i think they should make it more clear, that they do not sell a WINDOWS PC and you may not be able to play some games and you wont be able to install windows software like you do on windows

Quoting: Guestthe game dev gives no info regarding the game's system requirements for linux...i assume they are same as windows except the OS?

Quoting: mylkayou cant buy non TI
why the F do they make a TI then?
For 3070, good question.
For 3080 TI, according to LTT, it seems the supply of rtx 3090s is currently bound by the DDR6X supply
i meant because of miners. a hardware mining blocker would be more helpful
