Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens

Valve: eh, put a fuckin’ normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.

No, it’s great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.

You don’t even have it game on it if you don’t want to. Use it as a server 😂

Yeah but with Steam Deck you’re not forced to use it. It’s an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
