0:53 Minecraft java is fully compatible with the steam deck. And in fact, it runs way better because of its linux kernel. Minecraft bedrock can be enjoyed using an unofficial launcher(using google play store version). Yes, Minecraft is not available through steam. But can be downloaded and installed whilst in desktop mode. And added as a non steam game. I understand if you’re bored of the single player vanilla gameplay. But there are so many mods for Minecraft, notable ones being: Create, Valkrian skyes, realistic physics mod, terralift, shaders. And not to mention multiplayer. Minecraft is not a kids game. It’s a game for people that have creativity. That mostly happens to be children. But there are plenty of older people that still have that.
It's just insane to me how affordable Steam Decks are. They have a touch-screen, battery, controllers... and they're still cheaper than your mid-range minipc selection. A refurbished Steam Deck at $279 is just an insane value. I really wish we could get the Steam Console that's the same thing as a Steam Deck 64... but without the touch-screen, battery, or controllers... and then hopefully a reduced price. That would be bonkers.
@@gmitchellfamily It's stupid, but it's what most consoles have done for a long time now. The main difference is that Steam games don't cost twice the cost of "PC games" :D I wonder how true it is for the Steam Deck, though. Can Valve really recoup the costs through game sales? Especially given that most people probably already have those games on their account anyway, since they run on a normal PC too? :D
Actually I just had a nice 3 days off in a row because I had friends from Japan stop in on their Canada visit. Felt like it recharged my batteries nicely!
2:00 Steam machines a few years ago......Christ that was over 10 years ago.....I remember them having 300 prototype units before with the at the time, high end GTX 780....that was so long ago....I also remember the Alienware with the older SteamOS at Walmart and Best Buy as they were cheaper than some for the base models and on display to check out........god I'm getting old and have seen so much. LOL It's like when Razer came out with that handheld PC in like 2012? That was a large thick tablet with the removable controller caddy. I actually wanted that thing and it failed as well and was like over a $1000 I think.
I flashed an old Toshiba Satellite laptop with Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon, and it was able to handle PSX, and PSP so far from testing, and it is my Playstation Satellite. I also can use the DVD drive again (curse you ChromeOS Flex), and might try other retro games, but with only 240GB SSD right now just sticking with those two systems. Eventually, might go the route of external harddrive for the games, but haven't gotten around to that yet or bought an external HDD.
Happy to see you try this out. Been a full time Bazzite user since late April, early May. Bazzite is one of the few OS that I can both just play all my games on Linux and have a decent desktop experience. Have it on my large tower of a desktop. Also, love watching the videos. I was anxious an hour ago. Something I heard set me off. Video helped me calm down. Feel like I am hanging out in your room watching your videos which is nice. Hope you have a nice day.
same! been using for the same amount of time and put on my deck, main pc, and made a custom console with a pc using old parts in my living room. I don't even use my main pc because of the other two anymore
@@tray84 How is Bazzite on a Steam Deck? I personally never used or ever touched a Steam Deck until yesterday ironically. My brother's buddy wanted to share some game keys he got from a humble bundle which was nice and I only could give a chromecast to them. Anywho, he had a Steam Deck and wanted me to use it cause my brother told him about how I was fully into the Linux's Gamescope Sessions that is the Steam Deck from Chimera OS I tested last year.

Steamos is a custom immutable version of arch, while bazzite is based on an immutable branch of fedora, though the way it's set up bazzite technically takes the win here since with the stock steamos, if you unlock the root file system and make changes or install anything in that manner, it'll just get wiped the next time steamos updates, bazzite has a way to maintain immutability while also not wiping things that you install. Bazzite also gives you the option to quickly install a bunch of the things people tend to run on stock steamos, right on first boot. I didn't like it's stability a year ago and reverted back to steamos at the time, but I reinstalled it on my deck a couple weeks ago and have been liking it a lot.
Steam deck-type specs on a mini PC with more WALL power pumped into the APU/GPU is underrated. Consoles might not make sense anymore at u their price point. I was hoping this wouldn’t catch on while i hoarded all the mini PC units :3 Cat’s out the bag now! Im playing tekken 8 60fps for far less than a ps5. What a time to be alive
you could always just stream the games that the minipc cant run, but your main system CAN run - they may have stopped selling the steamlink and the steam machine, but theyre still constantly improving the streaming functionality
I had no idea this was possible, I thought gaming pc's had to have those massive graphics cards with 20 fans to be able to run anything. Thanks Mr dweeb!
Because of your videos on Brazzite, I am seriously considering doing this to create myself a console for my TV. For handheld gaming I have my Switch and for the few heavy titles I run I have my (work, ahem) pc. This is awesome!
Minecraft (java, which is the valid one anyways) was the 2nd game I got working on Steam deck (I was a pre order recipient). I bought it after Microsoft owned it, so I only have a microsoft login to play it, not a mojang. Search for youtube guides, it's not bad to get going. I did not try modded minecraft, and have no idea if that changes things.
I just installed bazzite on my SER5 MAX nvme, keeping Batocera on the sata ssd. So far so good. Added benefit of having both drives in is that, both being linux, I can access the ROMS from the batocera share partition should I want to run emulation / emu-deck-ish things on the bazzite side. I also made sure to up the VRAM in bios from default (16gb ram set to 4gb vram, 32gb set to 8gb vram). Amazing versatility in a tiny footprint.
back when valve introduced the whole steambox craze over a decade ago, i already had a bunch of MiniPC's laying around to test that out (alongside the steambox they introduced big picture mode into Steam) the biggest issue with all of those MiniPC's back then was that because they are all designed and built around laptop hardware the performance was always trash. i ended up giving up on this and just turned my custom built steambox into a plex server lol. laptop hardware these days seems very competent, but i think a better hardware solution today would be to build a custom mini-ITX mid range-high end gaming pc for use as a genuine steambox. some of those mini-ITX pc cases try to resemble a look of a horizontal console so they would fit perfectly for this! but that would kind of defeat the purpose since a PS5 can be bought nowadays for around 300-400$US and would most likely perform a lot better than a 800-1000$ gaming pc that's installed inside of a tiny case with restricted airflow and many limitations you would have to forgo to avoid overheating the components inside.
I daily drive nixos, and I enabled steam and one day I noticed when I switched to a different desktop environment there was a whole steam DE. I thought it was really cool.
still got "emulation station" on my windows 11 mini pc with an AMD Ryzen 9, 6900HX with a built in AMD Radeon 680M and 32GB RAM running... that thing also emulates everything fine especially with the 8bitdo SN30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad .....and i still can do my Video editing, Music Making, Photography Editing etc with it or play my games directly in steam or other games with stand-alone launcher.
With the rise of steam decks I’m surprised there isn’t any off the shelf options for one of these, what is stopping steam from creating one and entering the console war?
This would be a nice mini PC. Amazon has the GEEKOM A8 AI Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS for less but almost exactly the same performance as the A7 (for a limited time). I wish AMD would come up with a better naming/coding system for their processors and not confuse the heck out of people trying to compare them all. Their numbering system makes no sense! 😁😁
I tried and somewhat failed at doing this. I think I know how I wanna do it next time but I need to convince myself to spend the money... again. Great video
The Steam Deck can run minecraft just fine. The java version has a mod that adds controller support and the Google Play Store version has controller support right out of the box! Doesn´t mean you HAVE to play it. Unless?
I freakin just did something similar! Over the last 2 days on an old chromebox asus CN62 with i7 that was retired from some random company. (Mrchrome chromebox helped me flash a new bios uefi)-- i wanted to see how it'd do first and the original 16gb ssd is useless so i have Bazzite booting on an SD card while waiting for the odd 2242 size 256gb ssd to come in. It's operatable for some weak things as is but i can see it being a decent emulation system for the TV so i don't have to share my ROG Ally with the household.
I wanna buy a Mini pc and use it for work office, web browsing and also using it as streaming pc(use it for twitch), i have another for the games, which mini pc do you suggest?
Nice video, did you try to stream games to the mini pc? Thinking about setting it up in the living room on my tv and play games from my main machine as it can handle 4k?
In this setup, would Emudeck work well to get emulation going, or would it be better to just download and set up the emulators and front end(s) manually?
You're not even using SteamOS. You're using a Linux distro to boots straight to Steam Big Picture mode (which is basically what SteamOS is?) I've done this on Windows.
Nope! Steam OS is different from big picture mode. Bazzite is a package that installs the same operating system from the steam deck on non-deck devices. Very different from big picture mode running from the desktop version of Steam.
This! I've been looking for a mini pc to replace my steam deck, which is the brains to my bartop arcade. Would you recommend this? Or is there something closer spec'd to the steam deck.
It's a very neat thing to do! Every time I do something like this I always want to actually use it to game, which is me giving myself permission to stop working and actually play some games for a change!
How you guys feeling about the Odin 2? I feel like I need a lighter gaming device for ps2 that's a bit future proof too. SDeck can feel heavy. Its half the weight! 1.5 ish inches smaller
Huge fan of your channel. Do you know if any of these mini PC’s can handle any VR games? As a Mac user I’m looking specifically for a MiniPC that I can hook up my PSVR2 headset and play some VR games on Steam. Can you recommend me some to look at please?
Curious how well SteamOS does with multiple controllers and local multiplayer? I like this setup and might actually do this for my secondary gaming setup
Ahead of the curve, TechDweeb! I do think this is Valve's long-term vision for SteamOS, and that handhelds are merely the way to get things started. How does Bazzite compare to rival distros like ChimeraOS? It looks pretty solid. If these gaming distros keep maturing, they might actually be better choices for power users because you can presumably make changes to the underlying OS (and install more software) in ways that SteamOS's immutable file system stops you doing.
2:00 I have one. It's still kicking but it is not great. The recent Nvidia open source fixes make it pretty decent... now. But it was very rough for the last couple years with it on chimera and bazzite. Batocera and Nobara have been good with it. I would love a modern revisit of the steam machine!
with the audio thing on my Steam Machine (Not a mini PC, gonna be around XBONE sized once I finish the case) I went the nuclear route of disabling the audio jacks in the BIOS lol
My only concern with this is that I use a bunch of 8bitdo controllers, and I would assume the configuration app would not work on any of the systems. Are all the ports also SS? any issue with plugging in 8bitdo controllers and too much power going in?
Must try it on mine. I have no OS at all because some CSM blocks windows installation and to get it done I need even the cheapest gpu even with my integrated gpu on. Weird shit. Anyways, will do it.
video idea: high end bazzite console killer 7800x3d 7900xtx 4k 120hz oled TV super expensive for sure but being able to basically max out most games even at 4k without having to faff about with settings much makes it much more console like to me
just wanted to throw this out since Minecraft was mentioned as a game that needs windows: its totally fine on the Deck, and Linux in general. bedrock version is not playable yes, but java is fully accessible and runs great with something like Prism Launcher.
bedrock IS playable, but it's by playing the Android version ported to Linux. works more or less, but starting it is a bit clunky.
@@tray84 excellent point! i kinda forgot because the distro im using dosent have the right drivers and such for waydroid (i could probably get it working but dont want to put in the time lol)
You don't need way droid you can just use the unofficial bedrock launcher for Linux. it's available as an app image so it should work on any distro.
@@donotdew the unofficial bedrock launcher is on the Linux app stores (like discover or snap) and it is the Android version so you can't have raytracing even with nvidia

Dude ram compatibility is a CRAZY rabbit hole. It takes a TON of work to keep this kind of stuff from happening. I am sorry you ran into trouble.

This! I've been looking for a mini pc to replace my steam deck, which is the brains to my bartop arcade. Would you recommend this? Or is there something closer spec'd to the steam deck.
So freaking cool!!!!
I have Bazzite on my Morefine S500+ w/ 7940HS. It's great
I want to do this nowww. I don't have a spare mini pc, though. XD
It's a very neat thing to do! Every time I do something like this I always want to actually use it to game, which is me giving myself permission to stop working and actually play some games for a change!
Who makes the controller you use in this video?
Would i be able to play oblivion with mods on the midrange option you put in the description?
Why did you change to the DDR5 instead of the DDDDDR5?? Are they working better?? ANSWER THE QUESTION, YOU, GEEK. I COMMAND YOU. Nuff said. 😋
I'm a shell of a dweeb 😭
How you guys feeling about the Odin 2? I feel like I need a lighter gaming device for ps2 that's a bit future proof too. SDeck can feel heavy. Its half the weight! 1.5 ish inches smaller
Huge fan of your channel. Do you know if any of these mini PC’s can handle any VR games? As a Mac user I’m looking specifically for a MiniPC that I can hook up my PSVR2 headset and play some VR games on Steam. Can you recommend me some to look at please?
Curious how well SteamOS does with multiple controllers and local multiplayer? I like this setup and might actually do this for my secondary gaming setup
Ahead of the curve, TechDweeb! I do think this is Valve's long-term vision for SteamOS, and that handhelds are merely the way to get things started.
How does Bazzite compare to rival distros like ChimeraOS? It looks pretty solid. If these gaming distros keep maturing, they might actually be better choices for power users because you can presumably make changes to the underlying OS (and install more software) in ways that SteamOS's immutable file system stops you doing.
maybe a random question but can u send a link in the reply for the shirt?
2:00 I have one. It's still kicking but it is not great. The recent Nvidia open source fixes make it pretty decent... now. But it was very rough for the last couple years with it on chimera and bazzite. Batocera and Nobara have been good with it.
I would love a modern revisit of the steam machine!
Some love for mini PC's yey
Has anyone given any of the old original GPD Win machines a spin with Bazzite? They're going for cheap on the Bay these days.
Please make a video on best mini pcs for CRT TV (240p) output.
what game is that toward the begining of the video?
with the audio thing on my Steam Machine (Not a mini PC, gonna be around XBONE sized once I finish the case) I went the nuclear route of disabling the audio jacks in the BIOS lol
What game is that starting at 0:42 ? That Pixelart, Firstpersonview 3d game to be specific
Ok, somebody in the comments already found out. It is called "Delver"
My only concern with this is that I use a bunch of 8bitdo controllers, and I would assume the configuration app would not work on any of the systems. Are all the ports also SS? any issue with plugging in 8bitdo controllers and too much power going in?
Steam deck with the Tech King
Must try it on mine. I have no OS at all because some CSM blocks windows installation and to get it done I need even the cheapest gpu even with my integrated gpu on. Weird shit. Anyways, will do it.
Or you could install Arch Linux, add the KDE desktop environment, install steam. Then you would actually have something decent instead of some fork.
tell the name of the indie game that you show in 1.36 min
Blazing Chrome
Does bluetooth controller wake up work on this?
0:44 What game is that?
Delver :)
video idea:
high end bazzite console killer
7800x3d 7900xtx
4k 120hz oled TV
super expensive for sure but being able to basically max out most games even at 4k without having to faff about with settings much makes it much more console like to me
