Personally great. We have 2 accounts on our (Bazzite but it is using the SteamOS) and it works perfectly. Launches into Steam and asks who is using it today. I have my own account, but can access my partner's games as they're in my family. Switching is quick, click user and then switch profile.

Games do not need to be installed twice, there are some quirks though with a few games. Halo MCC had an error because it's installed once, and it defaulted to my Microsoft account even though she was logged in via steam (makes sense when you think of it), so she had to log out of me and log into hers. Nothing horrible though, and very infrequent.

Yeah, I do 4k gaming and have a beast of a rig, and even then I barely get it up there. Cyberpunk still struggles years later.

I think it's important to remember that the last steam controller did not do well financially. It's very likely that this is a first run to test the waters a bit with actual orders before ordering 2 million controllers where 90% end up in warehouses.

Also we know that they've been struggling with manufacturing and everything overseas is completely fucked right now. Could be that the wanted to get something out the door now vs indefinitely waiting longer.

Ah so they're patching copyfail I see.

Origins is awesome, but does it have controller support for the deck?

I'll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?

Gamers Nexus did a full hour long deep dive into him, very illuminating

He's been accused of, admitted to, and proven that he is paid off and goes more for entertainment/engagement than actual reviews of products. There are thousands of tech reviewers on YouTube doing honest work, I'll always downvote the openly dishonest ones

Fine it's not technically a fork. It just consumes code from SteamOS and puts it onto Fedora. Happy? That wasn't really the point of my comment, my comment was encouraging the person to try it.

I use Bazzite on my TV, fork of SteamOS, and it's been a gamechanger. It's so easy to just have all of my games on the TV, so I think the machine will be a great investment.

This is very close I think to critics and movies. Critics will always be hyper critical of movies because, well, it's your job. You go in and watch movies all day - you're going to pick up on small details that most average watchers won't notice and you will be hyper critical of that.

Similar here, if your job is to play games and review hardware I'm guessing the writer of this thinks more people than not have huge gaming setups, when in reality Valve is right, most have a modest setup. They know they're not competing with ultra highend, those people are already in the bag. They're going after the casual people who maybe haven't updated their PC in 6 years and just want to play some newer games, getting them into the ecosystem. In short, it's hard to be a critic of a system that wasn't designed for you in mind. Hell it's not designed for _me_ either.

No, all it would do is fracture the existing community, with some leaving for the new and some staying here unaware. Until there is an official migration tool in Lemmy itself this is the only way to retain the community that was built

Well, out of all of the reasons to do a recall, that's a pretty good reason...

Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks!

Which one do you have/prefer?

That's a fair reason IMO. However, knowing that it might be a few years out, then it becomes "is it worth the wait"

I don't think you can take a device like this and compare AAA titles on it, but even if we do then I think you can only compare it to other handhelds. Right now, checking the competitors they're mostly on par right now for AAA performance. I stand by my other comments, if you're looking for good graphics and good performance, a handheld is not the right device for you - you need to be looking at a desktop with an actual GPU and real power.

Those are real tradeoffs we make by going portable, we expect lower performance so we can get a longer battery life. We cannot have a long battery and great performance in a portable, they go against each other. If others are able to pull it off then yeah go with them, but every bit of performance they add means consuming more battery life.

Your question depends on your definition of "can it run". To me, as a portable device I get 45 fps on the witcher on medium settings and that's very playable. If you want to use it as a desktop and expect that the next version will rival a 5000 series GPU, that's unrealistic.
