Hi all, just purchased a pretty much brand-new deck (used for 2hrs) from eBay. I’ve also got the receipt. Is there anything I should be aware of? It was only purchased last month, will valve honour any warranty?

Edit. Turned up yesterday and it’s immaculate so all good so far! Doesn’t even look used so I’ll count this as a good buy for now!

Happy for you man.

What storage does it have?

I am playing Diablo 4 at the moment, run flowlessly, but Battle.Net is a bit of a pain to handle on Linux.

Here are some tools you would want to install:

  • CryoUtilities: a tool to optimize SteamOS (Mostly RAM and Storage).
  • EmuDeck: it will install a various range of emulators, sadly BIOS are not included.
  • Docky Loader: it allow you to load Plugins and constomize your experience with SteamOS.
  • Heroic Launcher: Linux Client for Epic Store and GOG.com.

For the rest, have fun. :)

EDOT: As others have said, you better off to full factory reset it, as a PC it can be tempered easily.

Thanks! Sorry for the delay, not getting any notifications of replies on Lemmy for some reason.

Got DeckyLoader and EmuDeck on. 512gb with Samsung 512gb Evo card 🙂
