I wonder how they are gonna do this, I’m hoping steamOS doesn’t end up like Android where there are a million skins and updates take forever. I know Linux s Is universally compatible with most x86 hardware so in theory it should plug in play as long as they use an amd gpu.

The steam deck really can’t do 1080p, depends on what games of course but at 720 is where it functions best

I’m just waiting for a single player game to this, I feel like disabling Linux support is the new hot trend making triple AAA games. Like I already know black ops 6 disabled Linux support or will without even googling it

It’s all fun and games until Google moves unknown sources to the developer tab

I was almost worried steam allowed devs to opt out of steam play, that would be horrible and 90% of devs would opt out

I mean like they are seeing nintendos “side” in this

Tons of boot kickers in the comments here

Yeah, this isn’t stolen and I’m pretty sure it was paid off, my mom bought it at a phone shop a couple of years ago and than gave it to me when she bought another phone. It just so happened to still be locked to Xfinity, and she had Xfinity so she didn’t notice

I mean like valve provides some sort of hardware based attestion so gta v can verify its running on a steam deck.

Watch it support the Steam Deck and only the steam deck with no other Linux supported

I’m hoping we don’t get some signed kernel non sense

What is Kinito Pet?

I love cosmic a ton, I wonder how well alpha 2 will function, for me it was mostly usable unless I wanted full screen

The games that support kernel level anti cheat and the same ones saying switching to Linux is like moving Canada, also that was an literal quote from the epic games ceo

My concern with this is it will be a UWP feature, or be too complicated for wine devs to ports to Linux. Or be heavily dependent of Windows to the point that the ApIs will give Wine away. Eaither way I don’t expect multiplayer Linux game support anytime soon

This is the result of valve being a private company. If it was a public company it would of been bought my Microsoft and introducing 50 new AI features

I mean the apis are totally different on MacOS, like MacOS is not Linux by any means

I mentioned this in a lower comment but im also curious if they made an API allowing apps like steam to install WinUI3 apps would the same be true.

I mean in terms of the reason to kill Linux gaming so devices like the steam deck would need to run windows for most games

What if they made an API allowing 3rd party stores, but the same security methods. Like MS would do this for the sole reason to kill device like the steam deck
