makes sense, it's their most successful hardware product. I'd be surprised if they didn't

[–] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They'll stop at gen 3 or whatever would have had a 3.

Steam Deck 2 episode 2

[–] Sparhawk87@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Step 1. Release Steam Deck. Step 2. Release Roadmap. Step 3. ...

[–] Bread@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You forgot step 2 part 1 and step 2 part 2.

[–] GreenAlex@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Step 2, part 1: Release OLED.
Step 2, part 2: Release roadmap.

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Step 3: HL3 confirmed.

[–] LordBelphegor@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

With the OLED announcement, the only thing I‘m missing is a convenient dual boot setup and that‘s it lol

Legitimately curious, no judgment: why do you want this? Not dealing with Windows is one of the best features of the Deck, IMHO.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Game pass for games on the cheap i imagine.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Ah, OK. Incidentally, the cloud portion can be done without Windows by installing Edge on the Deck.

[–] maxxxxpower@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

This works well.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Having to be online and with a good internet connection is not well suited for a handheld though, in my opinion.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago

100% agree. The Deck itself has offline mode, of course, but cloud gaming and mobility don't really mix (ironic as it sounds).

Microsoft could release a customized Windows installer USB image that handles repartitioning and installs a touch friendly bootloader. Just like they're not interested in releasing a GamePass client on Flathub, they rather support competitors like the Ally that come with Windows by default.

Bazzite supports dual-booting, so if you really wanted to, you could wipe your deck right now, install Windows, and then install Bazzite.

I judge them by their track record. I am still waiting for their wireless vr that they said was coming.
