Ouch, makes me glad I stuck to open source options even if they had issues.
Unless Newell has been practically grooming a successor for years
Supposedly he's doing this with his son. Only time will tell though.
Valve is selling brand new 512GB LCD for $450 (while supplies last), so expecting a used one to sell for $500 is definitely a hard sale.
Yeah, I'm really tempted to gift my LCD one to one of my kids for Christmas.
Congrats, you'll love it.
Yeah, that video is really good and very indepth.
I had thought about how the new deck would drive sales, but hadn't thought much about how many second hand decks are about to enter the market.
The discounts to the LCD model have already pushed the deck back into the top 10 best sellers on Steam, so a whole bunch of LCD decks are being sold even with the OLED on the horizon.
There's always been a big gap between the games playable on portable vs non-portable devices. The switch was a big jump forward to making true current Gen games portable, but outside of Nintendo's offerings it's still rare for new releases to have a comparable switch port.
We're currently in new territory imo where most new games (outside of some really terribly optimized ones) are truly playable on portable devices.
Both FSR 2 and the anti-aliasing setting are in the BG3 settings menu.
The trackpad is the only way to really use the desktop, but if the touchscreen was better KDE still wouldn't allow a good touchscreen experience.
Immutable OS's are increasingly popular. While some types of software are harder to install, the system being harder to break is very appealing. I know if I setup my wife/kids/parents with a Linux OS I would go with an immutable OS to reduce how much they could accidentally break.
Big thing is SteamOS needs a way to install traditional packages permanently. Other immutable OS's usually offer an option to reboot to install packages not otherwise available/viable through flatpak or distrobox/nix.
It's still cool to have more official options, and all of these are pretty high quality.
