Yeah, that is a good point to make.
Main reason I linked the steamdeckhq coverage is because they covered it last night, where gamingonlinux didn't have any coverage of it until a few hours ago.
I fully agree, but the Deck should be less painful to run windows on thanks to the track pad.
He was all about those fat bottomed girls
This won't remove unnecessary launchers from steam games that require them, it just lets you more easily install games that you own on other platforms.
Don't own it, but I would recommend against the regular Ally due to some known hardware issues and Asus warranty trying to scam people into expensive "not covered by warranty" repairs.
The new Ally X has some tempting hardware upgrades though, if no major defects have shown up in a couple months it might be worth checking out.
Yeah, it's super annoying. Have to plug the deck back in to the external screen, shut it down, unplug it, and restart.
I don't know of anything specifically, just my experience with printers on linux is they either work pretty effortlessly or they're awful and don't seem to work correctly no matter what you do.
The original Ally was pretty debatable hardware wise when compared to the deck. It was more powerful, but had worse battery life (especially in low power games), worse controls, poorly designed heat routing that burned up SD cards, etc. There was also stuff like how the higher resolution screen wasnt really necessary for the screen size, and the performance hit was very significant unless you capped at 720p.
The lower storage Deck models have been sold at a loss, with the plan of recovering that through game sales. So rival hardware running SteamOS could make valve more money than the deck does.
It's possible that the deck's are no longer sold at a loss, both due to components getting cheaper over time and higher sale numbers leading to lower cost per unit. But either way the money comes mostly from game sales, not hardware sales.
I'm not sure how it is in the larger cities, but a lot of the US is car centric. Since a lot of people with cars drive, it means that you see a higher percentage of people who can't afford cars in public transportation. That leads to more sketchy stuff happening on public transports, which leads to more people who have the option avoiding it.
Thankfully most laptops I see now come with a built in physical cover for the webcam.
