PC Valve's Steam Deck

[Maharin]

Being a person that uses Steam on Linux every day I can say that I am rooting for Valve on this one.  Some Windows games do VERY well on Linux, some do not.  It's all kind of magic that it works at all if you think about it.  Personally, I much prefer the games like 7DTD that play natively on Linux and those are the games that I support with my money.

In any event, the more Valve does to make this work the better my experience will be so I am all for it (oh, and a hearty "up yours" to MS, Nintendo, and Sony).

I got my Deck this weekend and have only put 7d2d on it. Still learning but really like the graphic ability of this for hand held at work or waiting to pick up kids. Today I have seen it revert back to keyboard mouse functions while playing. I had to reload game to fix. I also had to map extra buttons for reload and flashlight toggle. I see great promise in this device. I just hope the Pimps will support it also.

That's the first unsponsored positive review I've come across for the Deck. May you continue to enjoy it. Screen's too small for me  though, so its not on my wishlist. But I'll be watching the tech reviews and such. Sounds like an awesome gift for the younger techies in my family.

I watched that as well. Seems like a solid foundation and assuming they do what needs to be done to smooth the rough edges it seems like it could be good. 

I'm not super interested to get one though the thought of being able to play some 7 Days on my lunch break is kind of tempting. Haha. 

I'm super interested in getting a generation 3+. From what I've read and watched so far, early adopting the deck is a big "Nope!" for me.
