  • we just have to spread through word-of-mouth how ridiculous it is to want to invest anymore into the Windows ecosystem to our non-tech inclined friends. the benefits of owning a steam deck is way too massive, and that’s not just counting the software (I CAN OPEN UP MY STEAM DECK AND DO WHATEVER I WANT TO IT!!!)

    we have to start rejecting this premise that we are powerless when it comes to a company that dominates the market share (operating system wise, not gaming), but it comes down to changing the minds of those around us.

    for me, ALL of these windows handhelds are all missing the point that steam deck has PROVEN to be a winning formula: affordable, feature packed, durable, very consumer friendly, sustainability and top tier support (miss you every day I turn on my computer, EVGA 😢)

    hell, I upgraded to the OLED (I am a sucker for OLED anything, lol) and offset the cost of the OLED by selling my perfectly fine, upgraded LCD model (added 1tb ssd and hall-effect joysticks) to a family member. they were so blown away by the deck, that they are ready to sell the LCD model to another lucky gamer and upgrade to an OLED.

    this reads like a massive steam deck dick riding ad, but I do not care because the deck really opened my eyes to how easy it will be for me to change operating systems the next time it’s time for me to upgrade my main rig. if the next deck has support for an eGPU enclosure, it’s going to be very easy for me to make the switch to linux gaming. I don’t CARE what games do not support the steam deck, as they will not get my money.
