There's already a Linux build, but it crashes more oftenly. I want to try the Daytona Recomp.

It will be like running backwards through a cornfield.

When docked, the Deck works great as a desktop PC. But not as a laptop. It's too much to carry (lapdock + deck). The lapdock would be more suitable for your phone.

Also, I wouldn't change the Deck's OS, the only viable alternative is going with Bazzite. Anything else would be either a risk or a downgraded experience.

Love you guys, you're awesome! Thank you so much for making RetroDeck!

Looking forward to the RomM integration ♥️

Since I got my makeshift Steam Machine, I now have the deck always docked, with a monitor, KB&M and paired with 4 xbox controllers. It only becomes undocked when we make a trip.

Before all of this, it used to be always docked to the living room TV and without Steam Controllers, my kids were limited to games with controller support.

The experience has always been great.

So, $ 633 - $ 715 if they go by average markup margins (15-30%). But that's a big IF. Seeing as this is a low volume product compared to giants like Apple or Dell for example, I would expect the possibility of even greater numbers. I am assuming Valve is underestimating the initial demand and does not plan to market the product outside of their current countries and is not planning to advertise the product heavily.

Steam is the largest game store ever. Why would they want to skip it?

>If Luanti were to receive the attention needed to upgrade to make use of modern pipelines and the GPU, I’m sure the Deck would benefit and perform better.

>As Luanti isn’t available on Steam yet...

There you go. Just publish it, and add a donation DLC that gives the user a badge, a mention in the credits or something like that.

Yeah, I'm not worried about the actual work. I'm worried about company culture. Example: If the new owner of the 51% decides to go public, we are all royally fucked.

Well, I don't care. I freaking love Steam, I was able to switch to Linux 2 years ago thanks to them!. If someone can't take a joke, let them be. I'm the biggest GabeN fan there is. But I fear for his death. It fills me with uncertainty. Hopefully things don't change and also GOG learns of Valve's way. Imagine GOG officially supporting OpenGamePad UI and contributing to Proton. Dreaming is free!

xwayland on desktop, they are migrating to Wayland, they use kwin but you can use gamescope of you want. In gamemode it's fully Wayland, uses gamescope.

Same with 32 bit, they are working towards a 64 bit executable.

Now that Valve is balls deep into Linux, we'll all see major gains.

I'm sorry, we're out of stock! But you can get the Steam Frame Combo Orange Pack which includes both the Steam Machine AND a Steam Controller.

Oopsie, we're out of stock of that too!

We're sad you were unable to complete the purchase, please understand that we are a small family business and we are still learning.

Thank you for your interest in Newell's Family Farm

Good thing about Linux is that anyone can contribute to make what you describe actually happen.

I dream of the day it gets RomM integration.

AMD had been contributing kernel level bindings for their hardware for many years. Nvidia is just getting started, but they have the funding so it is picking up pace quite fast. Intel is a bit better but still not there yet, also their GPUs are both the least popular and performant.

Honestly, I think AMD's deserves this and more. Their decisions led them here. If it weren't for what they have been doing, Linux gaming would be worse.

Wouldn't they cost more? I mean, they have hall effect sticks and 2 touchpads.

Slap Bazzite on that bad boy ASAP.
