Every time a company comes out with something more powerful than the steamdeck or modified in someway, everyone immediately realizes why the steamdeck is configured the way that it is.
@christianjohnson1883
I’m going to be honest. The smaller size of Valve in comparison to Microsoft is a good thing in my opinion. Microsoft is bloated and bureaucratic, valve is agile.
@linuxnext
Valve contracts their work outside of their own employees, you can look at the driver support in Linux either it be the kernel or mesa and improvements to proton alone is a couple hundred but they don't officially work at valve This is how they can improve so much without needing to hire these devs full-time + Since Linux is open source everything else gets improved like the desktop mode in steamos is by KDE that focus on improving the KDE plasma experience for desktop Linux and things like handhelds
@Bluestar1079
Valve knows exactly what they are doing. Companies are paying them to beta test steam OS. Valve is collecting all of this data. What hardware works best. Which chipset works worse. After they've collected enough, they are going to implement everything they've learned into the steam deck 2
@TimeWisely
I rather cheer for SteamOS, Microsoft needs to take a hit.
@mermaskte
I hate how everyone considers the trackpads on the steam deck useless. I hate joystick aiming and especially in games with no aim assist like story games. And the mapping ability for them provide so many uses, like hotbar management quickbinds and even more.
@TheBrando212
Valve is quality over quantity and that's respectable. And as for porting SteamOS to 3rd parties, who says they have to do it on their own? The open source community is happy to help with compatability; heck Bazzite already has a head start here too.
@luxlavandula
Here's the other thing someone else has probably said. The steam deck isn't $760.
@microzoo3775
Impressive how the Steam Deck manages to keep being relevant for 3 consecutive years, considering the strong competition that has better hardware. I wish I had a Steam Deck.
@metalbob123
Overclock media competing with itself is bizarre
@LostinSpacetime
Not only is Valve extremely committed (first mention of support for Linux in 2012) but SteamOS is for the most part Arch Linux. Valve builds on the work of the whole Linux community. Most people live in the “consumer world” and don't have a perception of the scale of the Linux and Open-Source world. The disbelief that Linux, and Open-Source in general, can challenge big corporations, reminds me of the early 2000s, when Windows and proprietary Unix-Systems dominated the server space. Linux was slowly emerging, but most people were doubting that it would be widely adopted. Now, 90% of the web and 100% of supercomputers run on Linux. That's because Linux is Open-Source and Open-Source enables cooperation, even among competitors, and even with 1000x more financial resources, Microsoft couldn't and will not be able to compete.
@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep
Valve is the only company I've encountered that literally geoblocks me from importing their hardware as if it were software. So a third party SteamOS handheld is really my best bet for a Steam Deck experience
@TigroGumi
Quality over quantity employees thanks 😂
@jankandrusevich6961
Steam deck controlls are just sooooooo nice, no other handheld is even close to it
@rendonwade1130
Steam deck trackpads only way I use my steam deck. Well at least the right side. The left side is great for making in game menus, and so many other things.
@AnesuC
Wait I use touchpads all the time on the steam deck. Its insane to sacrifice these imo
@ChristopherToro
Woah woah woah, let’s back up —- You love Steam Deck now? Please upload a video about this
@LegacyRap7777
The Z1 extreme version is the only version of this handheld anyone should entertain.
@dahuman
you'd be surprised at how much I use the touch pads lol
