Fortunately in case of Steam Deck it's possible to replace screen in case this become a problem in a couple of years and new parts wont cost like a new device.

I hope replacement is easier than with the OG Steam Deck because to replace the screen you have to completely disassemble the device, heat to unglue the screen... https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Screen+Replacement/1...

It's one of the improvements they listed regarding repair-ability

> Improved display repair/replacement to not require taking rear cover off

Ultra-bright means higher burn-in risk, or am I wrong on this one? Edit: thanks for clarifying

Do we know if the steam deck has this feature?

I am continuously amazed at how awesome valve is and what awesome products it makes. Also steam supporting linux single handedly advanced adoption of that os. Apparently the best types of companies are those founded by deeply technical people, still owned and run by them, no venture capital. In an ideal world we would favour such companies over toxic ones.

Android using Linux is what single handily advanced the adoption of Linux among consumers.

That's what I've heard too. And yeah, Samsung makes the Switch's panel according to iFixit's teardown. https://www.ifixit.com/News/53272/nintendo-switch-oled-teard...

(GP)> "same supplier as the Switch OLED" > That's what I've heard too Is any of this confirmed or just rumor from the LTT video?

The other comment chain (2 levels above but in the same first-level thread) links to this tweet with a code screenshot that seems to confirm it: https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/17227592388066431...

    if ((vendor_product->product == GALILEO_SDC_PID) || (vendor_product->product == GELILEO_BOE_PID)) {
        // ...
I'm assuming SDC ("GALILEO_SDC_PID") is Samsung Display [Corp?] (a search seems to confirm that's their acronym).

Not as a desktop.

I love how each of the decks being a proper computer made this much easier to pull off. Like, driving a display in a dummy device would probably get you the same effect, and take longer. But that's likely the route a third-party production company would take.

Saying Android is Linux is like saying macOS is BSD.

Adoption on desktop is 100% more related to Steam support, at least in the gaming segment.

Anecdotally, among friends and colleagues, people are only staying with Windows for gaming support.

People generally dislike Windows but are forced to stay their for gaming. As support for Linux improves, they'll be less willing to put up with Windows' BS.

And they only take a 30% cut! Practically altruism.
