Does it run Crysis? \s
I don't know if Proton runs on SteamOS, but if it does (it should), yes, then it should be able to run Crysis ;-)

#142Looks nice, but...
It doesn't appear to be set up to work without logging in to Steam first. That really reduces the portability.

#143Earlier quoted context omitted.
What was wrong with SteamOS being based on Debian? I’ve not used SteamOS myself, but I wasn’t aware there were problems in that regard.
It's ancient and Valve had to do tons of backports to support it properly. I imagine they didn't like that very much.
Could just have switched to Debian Sid, which is basically the rolling release variant of Debian.
That could have saved some time on tooling/packaging adaptions.
Not that I dislike Arch Linux, I run both Arch Linux and Debian (Stable on servers Sid on laptop).
Re: Valve Steam Deck
#144Gotta admit, I never saw that coming. I thought SteamOS was dead after the failure of Steam Machines and Valve was only continuing with their Linux efforts because it's still a useful hedge against Microsoft locking everyone in the App Store. I totally did not expect them to copy the Switch use-case with it. I'm anxious to see how this turns out. Valve's history with hardware is not so great, so it could go nowhere l…
Did the steam link really go nowhere? I have a physical box, and it works magically well. My understanding is it's still available, just not as a physical box.
Re: Valve Steam Deck
#145There’s obviously a lot of people who like playing games in a more mobile format, as evidenced by the huge popularity of the Switch Lite / mobile gaming. Giving the PC games market access to that form factor seems, on its face, like an extremely good move. But we’ve seen products like this before — the NVIDIA Shield, for one. Pretty cool piece of tech, but didn’t exactly start a revolution. I guess the question becom…
Personally I find a lot of these devices backwards minded. I'd much rather just shell out for a service like Stadia (if the catalogue was larger) and turn my actual mobile device into something capable of playing pc titles. Especially if the implementation is platform agnostic like Stadia. Gaming devices of all stripes have become expensive enough that I'm more than happy to see cloud gaming takeover and leave hardware for the activists and bitcoin miners.

#146This looks like it will trounce the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo doesn't even have new hardware in the pipeline other than an iterative OLED screen. Now that Nintendo depends on a single portable console, is there a risk that they'll go the way of Sega?

Re: Valve Steam Deck
#147I've been wanting to try to write games for the Switch but this looks like a good alternative.
Re: Valve Steam Deck
#148> Deck What an uninspiring name! (with unfortunate mispronunciations). Looks very interesting though, price point (starting at £349) seems very competitive.
I'd like to believe they named it that simply so kids could pull a "My Deck is bigger than yours!".
