I totally use the 45w charger that came with my steam deck oled. It's nice. This looks to be the same one.

The price I expected for the main unit, but I'm kinda pissy with them wanting an extra $60 for a few straps. That price seems kinda bullshit.

I want to know if it will run my wifi\bluetooth card, though.

I prepped for this a long while. Right down to having an AMD CPU and AMD rdna 2 GPU.

It's supposed to have Linux drivers. Fuck windows. No problem here.

You bet. It's the tits.

I figured it would be at least $100. PS5 controllers are like $70, and this has 4 paddles, bigger battery, magnetic charger\high speed dongle, touch sensors, track pads, and the thumb sticks are like 2 generations ahead of sonys.

It's more like a cheaply priced "pro controller" than an expensive normal controller.

Do you play first or third person shooter games? if you do you should give setting up the gyro a real go of it. I configure mine to only turn on when holding down L2 (aim down the sights) and it works so damned amazing compared to just thumb stick aiming for shooting stuff. Especially sniping or compensating for full auto weapons raising up. I liked using it so much on my steam deck that I had to go buy a PS5 controller to use for my PC just to get the gyro. Setting it all up correctly on your steam deck is a bit of a pain to tweak just how you like it, but well worth it. So much fun using some clapped out sniper rifle in a borderlands game with gyro aiming.

I've had my steam deck LCD and then OLED from the start. I absolutely love those 4 paddles on the underside and the gyro customization you can do. Setting those paddles up to do things like reload or throw grenades or whatever is just so much nicer than taking your thumb off a thumb stick or reaching up at R1 and L1. Right now I'm mostly just playing Enter The Gungeon and I set my back paddles up to release, flip tables, and dodge roll. I'd hate not having those paddles, so this will certainly be my next controller purchase. Bonus points to it that LinusTT was a bit of a *removed* boy about the controller.

Ah, Star wars day. Gaben; you're a fucking nerd, and I love you for it.

Yeah. That's it. Go to sleep now, sweetie.

I had 32 GB of ddr4 3200 speed Corsair.

About a year ago I found a new in box 32GB Corsair exact same set of ram I had at a bin store and bought it for a whopping.... $5.

I have no need for 64GB, but even a year ago $5 ram was just way too cheap to not buy.

Thermals wouldn't get too hot, but wireless charging is terribly inefficient. If using a battery pack that's say 20,000mah in size, you'll only normally get about 14,000mah worth of charge into your device going from USB C to USB C (caries with charge speed and efficiency of charge controllers involved). With wireless charging you're probably looking at 9,000mah.

My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.

Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.

I don't know why you would, except in relation to how they work with the steam deck.

Or if they implement a copy feature, move the SD card over and copy a game to internal, so you can more quickly transfer over a game without removing it from the SD card.

I'm unable to su root or access the sudoers file. I'm going to try using a steam os image file on a flash drive to reinstall my steam deck os.

Negative. Because deck (user) doesn't have admin privileges all of the update attempts failed.

I'm trying to sudo in a user or elevate deck to admin. Either way if I try to sudo anything, I get asked " [sudo]password for deck: " and when I put in a password it says " deck is not in the sudoers file. "

So I haven't been able to do anything worthwhile, yet.

I've done that reset like 3 times now. If I open Konsole and check my password, it's correct and will also let me change it within there. But when I go to users or try to update things in the normal desktop GUI the password doesn't work. I'm not sure how to force updates or modify users just within Konsole.
