In my understanding Lost Boys did not close, they became Guerilla Games.

Quoting: Leahi84Do you think SteamOS would ever be a viable desktop distro?

Yes, I would think so. I have been using the SteamDeck as my main device for hobby projects (still in an exploring/testing phase, but enjoying it so far)

About it being immutable: I had to make it mutable to install .NET. But this is not something most people would need to do (Rider has a blog on how to install their IDE and .NET on SteamDeck). For all other stuff I had zero issues: attaching all kinds of controllers and other hardware, using Discord, Aseprite, MagicaVoxel (which has no Linux build), etc. No problems.

Personally I would like a laptop with SteamOS. With all the performance/battery options the OS gives you. And a very impressive sleep mode that even works for games (and Windows can't do).

Does anybody know if the sleep function also works in Desktop mode? And, if so, does it work with any application, or only applications started from Steam?

Maybe it's for running Quest games (which run on Android) on (standalone) Deckard (which, I assume, will run on SeamOS). So developers don't have to do any porting when they want to deploy their game to both Quest and Deckard.

Some day I hope to have a gaming laptop running SteamOS. Being able to tune fps, resolution, watt, etc. And having a full desktop.

Would you say that Ubuntu is the best OS if you just want things to work and not tinker, especially for gaming?

I would prefer "Deckard" (rumored portable VR headset) over a Steam Deck 2.

Quoting: legluondunetSteam has a similar service with Geforce Now, but you do not have access to all your games, it depend on devs authorizations.
Soon we will no more need a gaming console, nor install or tweak them, to play games on Linux, we will just need a good internet connection. And we will no more need to buy expensive graphic card, with Geforce Now you can play on your TV in 4K/60fps/RayTracing if you have a good internet connection.

Before that, we need all these streaming services to stop screwing with Linux giving us a lower resolution.

wich make no sense, i can understand netflix giving us lower resolutions thinking it may be easier to break their DRM and as result this content leaking on pirate websites with max resolutions... (it leak anyway, at least make sense they try to prevent)

but gaming? the resolution dont mater for an interactive exp, pirating the imagen isnt the samething unless you are talking about cutscenes (maybe music as well).

Yeah it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense on why it's done for gaming. I don't get it either, and would be curious to know if any readers know why they're doing it.

I always thought they assume "Android" when someone is using Linux. Thus a portable small screen device, thus a lower resolution. Don't know if this is true though.
