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...

>Also steam supporting linux single handedly advanced adoption of that os. Android using Linux is what single handily advanced the adoption of Linux among consumers.
Saying Android is Linux is like saying macOS is BSD.
macOS uses the XNU kernel.
Though as a user that likes having control over the software, I recognize that not having GNU/Linux being number one is a bit of a waste. (though one weekend of fighting NVIDIA and wayland tamed that quite a bit. Somehow my DE does not load with the proprietary driver unless I also load nouveau for some strange reason).

No it isn't. Android is as much a Linux distro as any other.
When I see things like that I always think about their lifecycle. The frame will be stripped of the devices for another display. It'll still hang around in some honored spot, then they'll get new staff and it will be shunted into storage. In 3 years it will be disassembled and tossed into the dumpster because no one will have room for it at home.

Damn, no call out to DeckMate by name in the thread? Sad
I have searched for answers on reddit and Google etc but I have only found the number to be 8hrs which is not for low power games. Given steam runs Linux and is hacker friendly, one should be able to juice it for much much longer if only early retro games are played.
On the note of OLED increasing battery life, does anyone know the max number of hours of gameplay you can get on a single charge when the game is as simple as "snake"?
