Makes sense now to use virtual desktop on this with oculus instead. VR from steam deck is a reality. Or perhaps run an emulator front end and hook up to a TV? (ok this last one might be fun)

No dual booting or audio support. I’m kinda glad I’m not getting my Steam Deck until Q3 because this thing is still clearly in Beta.

Watching that dude try to play was infuriating. Bro switch to your energy weapon. Bruh quit spamming your melee button and going “oh all out of power!”
Other than that looks like it runs alright on a portable. Shame they won’t enable it to run on the actual OS it shipped with.

Some people have something you might have heard of called Gamepass.

He mentioned at the end that he doesn't play Destiny and he'd only played the tutorial level.
Point was that the sound seemed to be working fine. At the end he said with some settings or resolution tweaking you could get a pretty decent ~60fps experience right now on Windows since you can't run it on SteamOS on Deck because of the EAC.

What time is it?
Or GoG, EGS, Itch.io, etc.
I buy playanywhere titles all the time.

I certainly dont buy games on the windows store. Thats what gamepass is for.

That's a shame. Battery drain feels (and the current incomparability with some games which will decrease over time), feels like the main weakness not surprisingly.

it was a joke post. Not to be taken seriously.
Lots of people had issues with Windows store games which I was referring to. Myself included.
I wasn't saying anything bad about gamepass.

No Dual boot.... Huh....

Valve explicitly said you can dual-boot with multiple OS'es. If it's not already there as an option, it will be soon enough. The Verge are the same tards that put extra thermal paste on a water block with factory applied thermal paste already on it and boldly proclaimed, "You can never have enough thermal paste".

Can’t you just have Linux on the SSD and boot Windows from the SD card?
Either way, this is awesome, Gamepass, hobby Unity games, emulators. Q2 launch, now! Pleeease!

Dose Destiny 2 have full cross-save/play with PS5? could be my super app for SD. Can get a few minutes to tuck away at work, enough to grab my daily's and do some farm runs. To bad can't use it on the train because of always online.

Phawx is the best tech channel for Steam Deck IMO, poor guy got his video DMCAed by Nintendo for sharing flawless Switch Emulation on Deck

Yeah, I will stick with SteamOS for at least a few months before I consider any major changes to the OS.

Having a mobile gamepass is not a bad thing.

Why am I not surprised that Windows is a piss-poor experience
If anyone bought this thing as a Game Pass device, sounds like they made the wrong decision…

I get that he's looking at it from the perspective of a "dummy user" buying a Switch-like device, but even Linus knows that you'd ideally set it up using KB/M and monitor, and then boot into SteamBP or Steam Deck UI. You'd also use UWPHook and custom artwork to bring in your Game Pass games to Steam.
There's plenty of reasons you'd want to use Windows, even right now. Namely, Halo Infinite and Destiny 2, plus a thousand other reasons. He'll be riding the coattails of guys like Phawx and ETA Prime, anyway. The action to get everything working well won't be happening at LTT.

wow.
Steam deck seems like an amazing device to introduce someone into a pc gaming without pain of windows and all the issues it brings.
It is consolifying pc gaming. It is actually speaking to me lol. I don't need it though.
The price i also pretty ok for consolified pc like that. Would like a bit cheaper here in Poland but its not bad (talking only about the most expensive sku)

Because everything runs on windows as opposed to linux

For sure losing performance from proton layer, losing thousands of incompatible games, losing some emulation is a better decision...Why am I not surprised that Windows is a piss-poor experience
