MODERATORS
That's a pretty competitive machine. Unfortunately no Linux support is a deal breaker for me.
Spec-wise yes but I can assure you there is nothing near the polishment or the software support of the Deck. There is a reason why SD is so popular.
Valve is really missing out by not making SteamOS available to these OEMs. Or vise versa the OEMs not contacting Valve. Not sure which one it is. But everyone is losing (except Epic/GoG etc.)
I swear I’ll be dead before they figure out why they haven’t managed to take on the SteamDecks success. Put SteamOS on it. Put trackpads on it. What really separates this from the other devices? Slightly different hardware?
I just really like the track pads on the SD. They're too useful to not have.
