Man I'm a developer and have been a linux user for the past 15 years, the deck is the best piece of tech I've ever played with, it's everything that I ever wanted for a "console", AND THE TRACKPAD? OH MY GOD FINALLY I CAN PLAY FPS GAMES IN A CONTROLLER, cheff kiss, Gabe Newell is an angel.
There is actually an even cooler one. There is someone who actually has the last name Trueblood and they run a real estate company and their logo has blood red accents in it and then their main office sign has TRUEBLOOD in blood red with REAL ESTATE in white below the TRUEBLOOD part. Apparently very few people have that last name.
In official Steam Dock on my table, monitor, keyboard, mouse, ready for travel. More than 1 year and I am more than happy, just love that small smart thing.
Itll would never happen best steam os could ever do is put a small dent in windows. So many non gaming pc's use and have to use windows. Certain softwares will only work with windows. Windows will stay king of operating systems. Certain programs i use at my job will not work with Linux or Mac. For gaming id make the switch in a heartbeat.
@ There is plenty of room for growth for SteamOS though. Windows market share in the home environment is where Valve is best poised to make gains on MS.
Even if their endgame is to compete with Windows on a broader level than gaming, it's unlikely Valve would come out and say that at this point. SteamOS is awesome, but it's still a far cry from Windows in a lot of ways. What they should do is quietly continue to build their OS and user base. I would love to see them refine desktop mode and give us no reason at all to stick with Windows.
Just gotta say, you look like you've been losing some weight since I started watching about a year ago. Keep it up man and thanks for keeping me informed on my favorite console.
Watching this video on my deck in desktop mode using a foldable iClever keyboard and 15 year old Logitech Nano mouse all hooked up to a dock and output to a 16.1 Arzopa Portable LCD. It performs better in games than my 2018 Acer Nitro Laptop I've been using for nearly 7 years.
Just got my Steam Deck back from United Radio due to an issue I had with it, but by fixing one thing, they broke another. They replaced my SSD and screen due to freeze-on-boot problems, but by gutting the system to replace the screen, they messed up the left bumper, causing it to be mushy. I am beyond infuriated because these are supposed to be Valve's "Certified Technicians"
I mean you pretty much said it all. It seems like everything Microsoft touches turns to sh!t as they have zero regards for their customers & fans. The sooner Linux takes over the PC Landscape the better.
Has the controller sync problem been fixed yet? That’s one of my biggest annoyances so far. Bluetooth controller dies in the middle of a game, then when you resync it, suddenly the steam deck doesn’t recognize it anymore and switching the order of controllers back to the deck itself doesn’t work either. Countless times I’ve had to close a game and lose progress because of that.
People claiming sony won a console war because they sold more plastic boxes is like saying Little Caeser's won the Pizza Wars because they've sold the most Pizza's. It's really more about MAU's these days and Revenue, which Xbox is ahead of Nintendo and they're gaining ground on sony pretty quick.
as far as cool names go, you know the guy that did all the SVU tv shows? Dick Wolf. That's kind of a bad ass name too. I wouldn't be surprised if THAT was a "stage" name
I can't help but wonder if he uses the 007 format of presenting his name: "Wolf, Dick Wolf" and even if he doesn't there are countless situations where his name will be listed as Wolf, Dick.
It's always been obvious to me that Valve has no interest in taking on windows. They were completely dependent on windows previously, so making themselves less dependent is what they were (and still are) after. They'll happily let their alternative grow bigger and they'll take what performance and ux benefits they can, but there's no sense in wasting resources on a head on confrontation. Showing Microsoft they don't need them is enough...
When I read your name, my first thought was that Champane was short for Champion Panel. So I guess I was wrong, although it would have beel cool regardless.
SteamOS seems interesting. My steam deck is just very limited for me since it doesnt support a high refresh rate (60htz hurts my eyes), nor does it have the power of my Ally. Interested in seeing if there will be support for it on my Ally.
My biggest problem with steam os is how much harder it is to install and run mods for games, especially when they use an external program or dll to hook into the game. There are so many more steps and searching for how to do it compared to modding on windows. Sometimes I've modded a game on my PC with a mod program that writes the mods into the games files and then copied those over to the deck, other times I've managed to get the deck to load a modding program before the game and add mods that way but that was usually a challenge fo me to setup. Playing the rest of my games I don't want to mod is great and is definitely a much better experience on the deck I can't deny that, but I cant see myself installing steam os on my pc anytime soon due to my familiarity with windows and the ease of troubleshooting and modding compared to the deck.
First, you're correct - you have a VERY COOL last name! Second, I fully agree with you that Windows is trash. I have the Lenovo Legion Go and Steam Deck, and I prefer the Steam Deck, but I can hardly touch the Go. I've tried to like it, but Windows just requires too much 'tweaking'. When I'm playing games, I want to turn on the device and just play the game, not have to deal with all the crap that comes along with Windows.
never whined much about windows like some of the diehard apple and linux users when I was growing up. Now, with microsoft copying apple and android smartphone levels of invasiveness, and even worse with default push ads news propaganda and windows nag messages I am done with it. Looking to move to steam os I guess, just want something that is backed by a company with some money and dedication to it
Has Valve been able to fix the new bugs in their updates for instance have they fixed the issue with the touchscreen problems where it has stoppes working or the fact the screen dims when you wake it up from sleep. Its just its been ages now and these issues can with the update for me
I love your last name as well! I also love my last name too :D We should all love our last name! FF7 Rebirth on the Steam Deck will be my first game of the year (although I already Platinumed it on the PS5 last year). I am really really really interested on seeing it run on the Deck!!! What is happening in LA is beyond words... soo damn sad.
I'm really excited for KCD 2 and I hope it's going to be mod-friendly. Installing mods shouldn't feel like rocket science! One thing I dislike about the Steam Deck is how complicated it is to get mods running compared to Windows, where it just works. Another issue is the locked controller polling rate at 250Hz, with no option to adjust or even see it. Windows, on the other hand, offers comprehensive controller configuration through DS4Windows, allowing players to fine-tune their controllers to their liking. The Steam Deck's controller configuration feels like a maze, with confusing deadzone values and other settings that use numbers instead of percentages. It's not very user-friendly and can be quite frustrating. So, if you're unsure about which handheld to choose, here's a simple breakdown: If you find games without mods boring and want hassle-free multiplayer with no anti-cheat issues, stay away from the Steam Deck. Only get a Steam Deck if you prefer playing vanilla games and have a lot of patience. If you enjoy tinkering, keep in mind that Linux isn't built for the average console player.
SteamOS or Linux in general needs a proton/wine or native way of running VR games on it, with various headsets, such as HTC or Meta Quests. Its the only thing that stops me as I dont care about anticheat in games I never play multiplayer.
After the ROG Ally w/ Steam OS was revealed, I saw a commenter under a related video say something along the lines of "I'm not buying this ROG Ally with Steam OS, I'm waiting for the Windows version to come out because Steam OS is a console-like experience, it's made for console peasants who don't know how to use Windows." Weirdest take ever.
Considering that the for decades that biggest complaint against Linux on a desktop or laptop is that it was too complicated for the normal user, seeing the opposite take for handhelds was quite the thing to read... Schrodinger's OS anyone? Linux is both too complicated and too simple to use...
i live in southern Cali , and it's only in a select location. All these invasive trees that burn like fuel, that's one issue. call me a c.t , but these fires are by design
Yeah want nothing to do with bloated windows 11. Can’t wait for steam os come to desktop PCs. Just hope it comes with GTX 1xxx/RTX 2xxx or newer support.
@BobDevV Bazzite does not not support GTX 1xxx for game mode or what ever it’s called. Says so when you go to there website. And yes I know Nvidia isn’t open source. That the issue. Nvidia while slowly getting better. They still very anti Linux. I’ve tired popos in the past and was horrible. Valve hasn’t said any thing officially, so who knows what they plan to do for steam os, or if they support Nvidia gpu. They may or they may not. I hope they do.
“Accusing” someone of using a stage name is like accusing them of being interesting or interested in maintaining a level of privacy in their personal life. Don’t worry about the walking wankers, you’ll drive yourself nuts addressing all their critiques
Microsoft has been spending a year or more breaking Windows 11 into tiny little pieces. I honestly think that Valve has an advantage because they are going for quality and making gamers happy. It's a big difference from the woke mindset tearing MS Corp to pieces right now.
Thank you champagne from Los Angeles as well. It’s hard. It’s devastating. Thank you for bringing that out. Keep on the good work. It’s so good to watch you just to put your mind elsewhere for the moment. Thank you and God bless you.🙏🏼🫶🏼💙
Dude, you're talking like if Sony wasn't a third-party publisher. Just like Microsoft, Sony also has put their games on PC and even Nintendo switch with their Lego version of horizon, so if you're going to mention Microsoft going third party, you might as well mention Sony too.
Valve makes a ton of money, why not hire more devs? At this point its not a good enough reason for slow progress when you are looking to disrupt the gaming industry.
The problem with linux for devs is the users make up 60% of the service tickets while only making up 2-4% of the player base. I can't fault devs for not supporting Linux OS.
If anyone complains about your name it's just because they're jealous. I didn't even know people were talking about your name or who would care really what you go by just goes to show you people have too much time on their hands or they really need to rethink their lives.
Explain to me how Microsoft is behind Valve in handheld gaming. Just because they don’t have one? They use similar tech in their XBox as what is in Steam Deck. They have designed hardware that is better engineered than the Deck for well over a decade. Also how much experience does Valve have with ARM? Because Windows has been trying to switch to ARM for at least 14+ years and they designed and sold their own custom hardware. They are still doing that and they are making another push for ARM as we speak and enthusiast ARM systems are right around the corner. In fact if you wanted to shell out a few thousand you could get one now. Microsoft is walking away from game consoles but they aren’t walking away from XBOX. When or if they launch something it will be better than what Valve has and at a similar or better price point because Microsoft really wants that $15 subscription from you. Whats a $150 in subsidy if you’ll make it back in 10 months. Anyways I enjoyed my Steam Deck but I ran windows on it. Only reason I sold it was I bought a GPD WinMax 2.
I want SteamOS to be a replacement for windows! I want to build a new desktop PC and I refuse to install windows 11 on it. I am sick and tired of microsoft getting lazier, greedier and more invasive.
Microsoft Plan. when they released their handheld version, you're going to need a microsoft account with a monthly subscription as well as a separate game pass account. 🤣🤣😂
Meh game pass barely has anything worth playing these days my own opinion of course as I look at the listed games and nothing suds good to play for me so and I’m probably not the only one
Say steam os works great and even the games that don't work on Linux work on steam os many will switch because of our dislike for windows. Steam could get a large share of the pc market for gamers even if all 1.8 billion pc gamers jump ship itll put a dent in microsofts pockets but not anywhere near enough to bankrupt and be the all mighty os. Windows will still be king. Majority of non gamers and businesses use windows because the software for their businesses usually run and work better on windows or only works on windows. Not only do they not want to destroy windows the reality is they can't. Reason we want steam os is we don't want all the bloat and Spyware and random background processes running chewing up resources
@peoplebelievealiensarereal exactly windows isn't perfect in running games at times it has its issues but it's best option right now over Linux at running games. If just your family home computer browsing the internet and watching RUclips and checking your email use Linux like for real. If needing to do more demanding tasks and specialized software research what better fits your needs and compatibility.
SteamOS is great, but let's not forget that it's a LINUX system that emulates Windows. Valve knows eliminating Windows would be as disastrous for them as it would be for anyone else. And for the record: Windows is better than SteamOS at doing everything BUT playing games--so it's not going anywhere.
He's not from the Champagne region of France, so you can't call him Champagne.

I live in Michigan and I know a few Champane's. That's a legit name.

If Valve took down windows, they would get sued for being a monopoly. You can be good at your job, but don't be to good.🤣

Ohhh that's why windows is so terrible
@ There is plenty of room for growth for SteamOS though. Windows market share in the home environment is where Valve is best poised to make gains on MS.
Valve doesn't need to try and kill windows. Microsoft is doing a good enough job of that themselves.
Next, you're gonna say Deck Ready isn't a stage name either! ":V That you have a brother named Deck Ready or something.
funny you should say that...

The Champagne rant at the beginning was gold 😂. I was born in Detroit, I'm curious if you have had any bad experiences with tornado season.
I believed you were Champane, I didn't believe you were Jimmy
The Fremont is an enhanced dock that allows the steam deck to drive the upcoming headset.
When I read your name, my first thought was that Champane was short for Champion Panel. So I guess I was wrong, although it would have beel cool regardless.
not competing and doing something unprecedented is a good way to have no competition - or the at least always be relevant

Who cares if you use a stage name or not. Cool name indeed
Why doesn't Valve hire more people?

I like you because you talk fast
Microsoft Plan.
when they released their handheld version, you're going to need a microsoft account with a monthly subscription as well as a separate game pass account.
🤣🤣😂
And the fact Steam OS can't run GamePass... which hands down is the best deal in gaming.
There are ways to get it to work, but yeah, wish it was easier
Meh game pass barely has anything worth playing these days my own opinion of course as I look at the listed games and nothing suds good to play for me so and I’m probably not the only one
@Talon18136 GamePass is Stacked, with great Indies and Triple A games... wtf are you crying about. Way better than ps plus watered down subscription

SteamOS is great, but let's not forget that it's a LINUX system that emulates Windows. Valve knows eliminating Windows would be as disastrous for them as it would be for anyone else. And for the record: Windows is better than SteamOS at doing everything BUT playing games--so it's not going anywhere.
