The idea that a steam deck 2 needs to come out after only 2 years is insane to me the current console generation is only 4 years old and the switch is nearing 10 years. It's a handheld its not gonna play games at 4k 249 fps and a steam deck 2 isn't either. Tripple A games aren't gonna drastically become more demanding in a year or so because they still need to be able to run on the base ps5 and Xbox series X.
@@real1vayloYou really need to improve your reading skills lol. "Is nearing 10 years" means the Switch is not 10 years yet but in a short time it will be 10 years
The difference is that consoles get a bespoke version of the game, Steam Deck does not. That limits its viability. As long as developers keep its existence in mind. It can work. But if they don’t bother and it becomes too old to run the new shiny game of the week, most people are going to abandon it. These are PC gamers we are talking about. People who cry their way to Micro Center every time their GPU can’t do 100FPS on Epic Ultra Nightmare settings. I think he’s right that waiting could backfire. IMO. Of course.
Valve should just work on a console to compete with PS6 and Xbox. This way Valve can work on SteamOS, a steam controller, capture console market share and wait for meaningful performance and efficiency improvements for Steam Deck 2. I hope it's at least 3-5+ years for Steam Deck 2.
I would love a Steam Machine 2.0 with current Steam OS plus a new Steam Controller. That would honestly open up new options for gaming that a handheld could never accomplish.
I think that Valve doesn't want to release a steam machine 2.0 because they'd be directly competing with regular gaming PCs, sometimes with way better specs. There's probably more added value in a steam deck since it's a portable gaming Pc and less competition for Valve in that niche.
@@Linux_ASMR I just hope that Valve is working on releasing SteamOS as a standalone, honestly. I don't want a Steam Deck 2, mine is still perfectly serviceable for what I play on it. What I'd like is custom hardware running Valve's fork of Arch.
Intel and AMD might also concerned about open-source-ish architecture RISC-V, not only ARM, so developing their CPUs even more into RISC ones. If you ask me Intel and AMD are teaming up to get the work done faster before the fan is hitten by 💩. How urgent must the situation be?!🤔
Unfortunately, Google, like Microsoft, bank on the quote from George Carlin... ""Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that" being accurate.

I've been running Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition on a trial basis for a year. I have only suffered one bad update that crashed the system, partly my fault in updating whilst being logged in as a user and not a super user administrator. There are two browsers I use, one is chromium based Brave the other is Firefox based Librewolf which I find very secure and simplistic. I've uninstalled MS Edge and Bing on my Windows 10 &11 and I don't have Google Chrome browser installed on any of my laptops. It's appreciated we have a channel like Nick's Linux Experiment to inform us on critical changes. If it wasn't the fact 2 of my business laptops have biometric fingers print readers I would have completely transferred to using Linux Mint full time.

Moved back to Firefox because anything that has Chromium will break any adblockers you have. Firefox isn't the greatest for gaming or hacking into online games but it at least blocks ads.
Will share this video with my colleagues because they include some die-hard Chrome fans that think it's "the only browser"... I've been a Firefox user since version 2.x and migrated to Waterfox when Mozilla started their own big extension API change a few years ago. And I would never even consider changing to some other browser, the setup of extensions I have (including uBO, uMatrix, Decentraleyes and some for specific sites like RES for Reddit) includes years of tuning and gives me a browsing experience that gets rid of 99% of ads and tracking.
i know it's what every company says, but i really think valve is happy with the competition. i always thought the real competition for valve was not the switch or other consoles, but windows. going by the reviews i saw, windows on a hand held is a serious limitation - see the asus one.
AMD and intel collaborating is fine because there's now a lot more competition, but id be worried if this was earlier. Being that their ownership of X86 has prevented competition for decades and I do not consider IP to be property in the same way as your personal or private property.
7:49 I personally want them to wait a good while before they release Steam Deck 2. We all know Valve can’t count to 3 so whatever comes next is gonna have to be really good.
The issue with Firefox is that it's really not a good substitute right now, I had to switch to a chrome fork with continued mv2 support because Firefox had so many issues for me, graphical bugs, cache issues where websites didn't load. Firefox needs more funding and outside development ASAP
Imagine if UBO lite replaced all the ads it with an unobtrusive Firefox ad. Something like “seeing ads? With Firefox + UBO you could have filtered more of them!”
Valve should make steam machines again. Imagine this: valve gets a contract with AMD for a high-power APU (like what's in the consoles) and uses it in a steam machine (running steamOS obviously). However, unlike the consoles, it would otherwise be just a normal gaming PC that you could technically install any OS on. And since valve makes so much money from steam, they can afford to sell the steam machine with a super thin profit margin. So valve would basically be selling gaming PCs at an insanely cheap price for the power you get. I think this would catch on very fast and become very popular. And the other good part is that all of the steam machines come running Linux (steamOS) out of the box, so this would definitely boost Linux's gaming marketshare
Valve should not release a revised steam deck for at least the first 5 years, there is absolutely no reason to. Stream your games from Nvidia or somewhere else, it has plenty of years left if you ask me.
I'm psyched for VRR support. Also, a 2024+ AAAA game capable portable console is a lie. Devs need to lower the minimum requirements and stop relying on blurring technologies to look "acceptable" at 4K.
Yeah, 1280x800 is fine for a handheld console with a 7 inch screen, especially since high resolution screens kill battery life and most games cannot be played at higher resolutions and refresh rates. I'd take an 1280x800 OLED 90 hz screen over a 1920x1200 120 hz IPS screen.
I was a Firefox user in the past but the lack of some features (notably folder access and installable PWAs) and a huge video decoding issue (random 1s freezes, affected all FF based browsers on my Fedora + NVIDIA laptop) made me switch to a chromium based, namely Brave. It was mind blowing to see how much performance it game me, some OpenGL apps were literally loading twice as fast. Then I experienced a bug in Brave which made me switch to Google Chrome (my only requirement was to have a solid adblocker available, which uBlock Origin was). Now if Chrome destroy the adblockers (uBlock still isn't deactivated for me) I will again switch to something else, certainly not FF but probably Thorium which have stated they will keep MV2.
Thorium is maintained by a single guy and includes some antifeatures like proprietary Google libraries, I would recommend going for Brave or Firefox if you want something more likely to be stable long-term. At some point keeping MV2 will become a maintenance burden too big for one person
@alex15095 heck, even Vivaldi despite not being FOSS is better than Chrome. I'd argue it's better than Brave because the CEO of Vivaldi isn't a crypto scammer and other nasty things like the CEO of Brave is.
I can't help but think Valve would benefit from a Steam Console in addition to the deck. I got one of those Tuxedo cubes and while I do like it, it is still much larger than an actual console. Valve making some steam equivilant of a ps5 in terms of size could be a solid idea. It would give game devs another linux base to target, but if built right could be upgradable by users. Basically, a console-sized pre-made gaming rig.
for the people that didn't use add blocker... you probably can count more than half of them as not knowing that they use it, because they didn't configured their browser themself, and that the tech guy that installed their computer obviously installed one for them... personally I install add blocker every time I have to prepare a PC... for basic user it's equivalent to protect them from themself... avoiding a lot of scam, and helping their computer to work better by not loading data from five hundred and to(I know... most of the time it's even more) external site...
we are distancing ourselves from these guys and adopted Linux. we switched to Deepin Linux and it's way better than all other Linux Distros. no driver problems, no errors. not need to get a degree to use Linux
Just switched to Zen Browser earlier today from Chrome because the Chrome policy to uBO and of course trying to new experience of new browser (since it's Firefox-based browser)
12:50 Intel and AMD are the only companies that are legally allowed to develop the x86 architecture I think. They made an agreement in 2001 for that, because x86 was patented by Intel (I don't really know the situation now)
I'm considering recommending tuxedo laptops to my sister who wants a number pad and basic gaming while mostly being for document work. Do these laptops have good screens and battery life?
Good screens? Depending on the laptop, yes, but no OLED or Mini-LED if you want that. Also, if you need or want an ANSI keyboard, be careful of which model you choose. Some are available with ISO or ANSI keyboard options, but not all are.
Yeah, I disagree with Nick here. I don't think we need a Steam Deck 2; I think a home console competitor like a Steam Machine revival; something to compete with Microsoft and Sony.
AMD: Does this mean I get access to your ring architecture patent, Intel? Intel: No. You make powerful budget CPU's and we invented the mesh architecture to downgrade CPU's.
I saw on another channel that one of the devs that released the Winamp repo posted on Twitter (paraphrasing) "We totally ChatGPTed the license, use it however you want and if there's issues, let us know and we'll change it. We're busy building things over here, bro" 😆
If the devs really said that, they're too dumb and/or liars. If they really want to let people do whatever they want with it, they should have licensed it WTFPL or put it into the public domain.
@@cameronbosch1213 Of course. I just only said WTFPL/PD because that adheres strictly to what the devs said. Also, BSD and MIT licenses are so common, anyone who is familiar with open source would have thought of those as first options, so they're not worth mentioning. Not using those is either incompetence or malice.
Time to switch browsers again I guess. Maybe back to Firefox now after having switched away from it over a decade ago. Although I'm still not happy with the way Mozilla is going--which is pretty much the main reason I left it in the first place. Ladybird just can't reach a usable state soon enough.
Have you tried Vivaldi? Yes, I know it's not FOSS and yes it's based on Chromium, but they are integrated something very similar to uBlock Origin straight into the browser, so you'll still get good ad blocking. I wouldn't touch Mozilla anything right now given they seem to be digging their grave faster than everybody else can claw them out of it.
So switch from Chrome to Brave (or some other Chromium browser). Yes, I'm aware that some people don't like that 'person' heading the Brave project but the actual browser just bloody works. It's the one browser where I do not see RUclips ads upfront, and of course with Ublock Origin still apparently working, my work here is done, no?
Nick, that mick is making me a bit uncomfortable xD feels like you're about to ask me questions at any moment xD but the scenario is great, don't worry
... and it seems Chrome is the only Chromium-based browser that drops the Manifest V2 support. Most Chromium-based browsers already said they will keep the Manifest V2 support, running side by side with Manifest V3. Which is laughable at very least. It's like someone energize the crowd in a room with his new idea, then say "Now, who's with me?" and the answer is the silence in the room...
what made nvidia do a 180 when it comes to supporting linux???? not complaining, wayland & graphical stuff under linux in general really could use a hand.
Charlie and everyone been talking that google is killing all the adblockers especially ublock... Im still using it now... No ads from anywhere... But I dunno for how long

Now what does that mean for Brave and such?
They’ll keep their Adblock alive
@@TheLinuxEXPSame with Vivaldi. They've built it into the browser directly to avoid upstream from being able to do something like this again.
for the people that didn't use add blocker... you probably can count more than half of them as not knowing that they use it, because they didn't configured their browser themself, and that the tech guy that installed their computer obviously installed one for them... personally I install add blocker every time I have to prepare a PC... for basic user it's equivalent to protect them from themself... avoiding a lot of scam, and helping their computer to work better by not loading data from five hundred and to(I know... most of the time it's even more) external site...
we are distancing ourselves from these guys and adopted Linux. we switched to Deepin Linux and it's way better than all other Linux Distros. no driver problems, no errors. not need to get a degree to use Linux
Just switched to Zen Browser earlier today from Chrome because the Chrome policy to uBO and of course trying to new experience of new browser (since it's Firefox-based browser)
Good luck with a laggy and buggy mess that likely will be dead in a few years when Mozilla goes Chapter 7.

Big blurry mic in the middle of the screen
Nice new setup, but the microphone is a bit odd in the middle; maybe better place it off screen
No video chapters ? (edit- realised that there are timestamps in the description)
12:50 Intel and AMD are the only companies that are legally allowed to develop the x86 architecture I think. They made an agreement in 2001 for that, because x86 was patented by Intel (I don't really know the situation now)
I legit thought you were blurring your shirt at first.
I seriously hope Chrome's user base tanks.
I'm considering recommending tuxedo laptops to my sister who wants a number pad and basic gaming while mostly being for document work. Do these laptops have good screens and battery life?
Good screens? Depending on the laptop, yes, but no OLED or Mini-LED if you want that.
Also, if you need or want an ANSI keyboard, be careful of which model you choose. Some are available with ISO or ANSI keyboard options, but not all are.
Enjoy the Oled deck and will certainly get the Deck once it's out but nice to know we wont have to play the replace game so quickly
Yeah, I disagree with Nick here. I don't think we need a Steam Deck 2; I think a home console competitor like a Steam Machine revival; something to compete with Microsoft and Sony.
Version 128 of Thorium works fine already blocking 100 blocks just opened it
AMD: Does this mean I get access to your ring architecture patent, Intel?
Intel: No. You make powerful budget CPU's and we invented the mesh architecture to downgrade CPU's.
Chrome is Google's greatest gift to Mozilla.
No, you are zooming in a lot. I like the old zoomed out videos. God bless you.
I saw on another channel that one of the devs that released the Winamp repo posted on Twitter (paraphrasing) "We totally ChatGPTed the license, use it however you want and if there's issues, let us know and we'll change it. We're busy building things over here, bro" 😆
If the devs really said that, they're too dumb and/or liars. If they really want to let people do whatever they want with it, they should have licensed it WTFPL or put it into the public domain.
@@jacquelineliu2641Heck, even 2 or 3 clause BSD or MIT would have been fine!
@@cameronbosch1213 Of course. I just only said WTFPL/PD because that adheres strictly to what the devs said.
Also, BSD and MIT licenses are so common, anyone who is familiar with open source would have thought of those as first options, so they're not worth mentioning. Not using those is either incompetence or malice.

Time to switch browsers again I guess. Maybe back to Firefox now after having switched away from it over a decade ago. Although I'm still not happy with the way Mozilla is going--which is pretty much the main reason I left it in the first place. Ladybird just can't reach a usable state soon enough.
Have you tried Vivaldi?
Yes, I know it's not FOSS and yes it's based on Chromium, but they are integrated something very similar to uBlock Origin straight into the browser, so you'll still get good ad blocking.
I wouldn't touch Mozilla anything right now given they seem to be digging their grave faster than everybody else can claw them out of it.
Or even GNOME's Epiphany...
I use DDG & Brave
So switch from Chrome to Brave (or some other Chromium browser). Yes, I'm aware that some people don't like that 'person' heading the Brave project but the actual browser just bloody works. It's the one browser where I do not see RUclips ads upfront, and of course with Ublock Origin still apparently working, my work here is done, no?
Thanks!)
DOJ really need to broke up google quickly. that MV3 crap is criminal
I use Orange Google Chrome to block all ads.
Still the bokeh is bad on that one ;D
Maybe you can add some automatic blur / out of focus filter to improve the situation? Just don't overdo it.
Manifest V3 is the best reason yet to get the Google virus off of your computers. I have never allowed it on mine.
I always remove chrome (specifically that browser) is the absolute worst. I'm perfectly content with brave being on my phone and my tablets.
5:05 but Firefox is much much slower. Say 25% of the speed of Thorium, especially if you have many tabs open. There's just no comparison.
Bro you gotta dye your beard. At first I thought you had an grown "evil villan" mustache 😂😅😂
Was thinking about moving to Chrome as I was bored by Firefox... I guess I'll stay with Firefox if Brave also doesn't do me well
Nick, that mick is making me a bit uncomfortable xD feels like you're about to ask me questions at any moment xD but the scenario is great, don't worry
i use firefox on linux, and here, ublock works like a charm...
... and it seems Chrome is the only Chromium-based browser that drops the Manifest V2 support. Most Chromium-based browsers already said they will keep the Manifest V2 support, running side by side with Manifest V3.
Which is laughable at very least. It's like someone energize the crowd in a room with his new idea, then say "Now, who's with me?" and the answer is the silence in the room...
Firefox not having native vertical tabs for example is a crime I believe
Thankfully, firefox-based browsers like Zen exist
I'm using Brave for quite some time, which is based on Chromium... wonder how things will continue there...
what made nvidia do a 180 when it comes to supporting linux???? not complaining, wayland & graphical stuff under linux in general really could use a hand.
Last time I connected my laptop with Fedora to an external monitor it glitched so hard I had to force shut it down.

Valve should go after 1.5 year release cycle
Why do we need a Steam Deck 2? My OLED model is fine and it will continue to be fine for many years
Steam deck is a console-like, not a PC, I support their approach
