Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve's statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.

"Alleged"? Haven't we known this for months?

Exactly. It'll probably run Balatro at 4k/120 just fine but Cyberpunk is going to struggle at anything above 720p30/low

Is it just Uncharted?

I may be a minority

That would be a problem.

Exactly. And we saw people doing that with the Steam Deck. Disney was using it to control their robots. Ukraine was using them to control IRL turrets. That's just what we know of.

Probably 2 or 3 years before shortages are addressed.

“I think Valve was hoping for a much lower price and that the component issue would be short-term,” Cole said. “Obviously it is looking more like a long-term issue.”

I think we all knew this would be a long term issue.

Thank you! WTF

Yeah I received similar wrong numbers. I am nearly 100% controller at this point but I got ~25% also.

Despite some research, I can’t find a way to switch versions.

Brother, it says right in the screenshot you provided: "Select Platform Version to Install"

People on the web are saying that it’s better to use proton and not Linux versions.

In Steam, yes. In Heroic, your mileage may vary. My experience with Heroic using Proton is 50/50. Using Linux in Heroic is 100%. So try that, and see if you run into any issues.

switch, xbox, playstation, etc.

That's probably what they're talking about. Instead of emulating another controller you have 1st party support.

Then they shouldn't say anything.

8bitdo controllers now offer Steam compatibility!

Full compatibility details coming soon.

What a non-announcement announcment.

Midnight Fight Express

Yes, because those are all equivalent situations

FFS, it was years ago, no one is claiming him as "our guy", and he's an extremely influential person so just take the win.

it's likely that Microsoft will also attempt to move anti-cheat vendors out of kernel space

The closest thing to SteamOS is ChimeraOS. Though it sounds like you're mostly referring to Plasma, which is the desktop environment (DE) AKA the graphical user interface (GUI), and can be installed with just about any distro. ChimeraOS looks like it only comes with GNOME, which I personally prefer anyway.

It is very friendly until you need to do something other than very basic things, at which point you'd better be prepared to become very familiar with the terminal.

Bazzite is the new hotness though, and it's what I use, because it comes with a variety of customizations out of the box, and the ujust commands can greatly simplify a lot of common tasks that are otherwise far more complicated. Only downside of that is that it mostly only supports flatpaks and appimages, .deb and .rpm are the most common package formats and those have to be installed in containers, which comes with all the fun complications of containerization and sandboxing.

You might give GNOME a try though if you want to play around with something different. I much prefer it from an aesthetic perspective. Plasma is essentially made to look like Windows and GNOME more resembles MacOS.

Be aware that when using these distros that some games will recognize your device as a Steam Deck and apply some fucked up graphics tweaks that severely limit performance. You can undo them with a simple launch argument but it's super frustrating until you figure that out. Protondb is your friend there.

If you want Arch there is ChimeraOS
