Cool story bro

Hehe bro, you know what? The Steam Deck OLED is still the best when it comes to price, screen quality, size, and overall optimization.

Valve has developed kernel patches and user-space tools (like dmemcg-booster and plasma-foreground-booster) to prioritize VRAM for foreground games on low-VRAM Linux systems (e.g. 8GB cards), enabling smoother Vulkan/RADV gameplay such as Cyberpunk 2077

Just recently, the steam deck's custom scheduler was deployed by meta to their data center workloads. Valve really is improving linux for everyone.

Is Decky bad or something?

It's not bad, it's just that it's outside software, so you have to expect it to sometimes conflict with what Valve updates. I've personally noticed that my Deck sometimes doesn't fully shut down when I tell it to, so I have to hold the power button, and it's more than likely Decky (or a Decky plug-i

What’s the best Steam Deck games of 2025 so far?

Fantasy Life i Fantastic love letter to the decade old 3DS game, wonderful core gameplay loop of leveling up 14 different combat, gathering, and crafting classes. Do as little or much as you want. Incredibly grindy, but in the best "just one more thing" way and I cranked 100 hours into it before I b

Hades 2 on the Steam Deck is next-level.

Ive been playing Hades 2 since early access started. Only a few months later was when I got my Deck OLED. After they had released the 3rd surface level biome, I spent a week trying to get to/beat the boss of that area on my PC. Then, I went to visit my parents for the weekend. I finally did beat tha

Blue Archive is up on Steam!

NGS (Nexon Game Security, the game's anticheat) also doesn't mind the game running on Linux. Tested on Steam Deck OLED and it works. There is also a post in the game's sub saying it also works with regular Linux desktops.

Rip Meta quest

i won't be jumping to it immediately.. but i'm interested in an all steam ecosystem.. if they released steamOS to be installed on any computer and i could dual boot windows for productivity and steamOS for gaming, then it was seamless to connect the frame to that, plus the controller? i'd be all ove

I am so glad I chose the Steam Deck over the Xbox Rog Ally.

I choose an ROG Ally X because I wanted “a bigger battery”… I ended up getting a Steam Deck OLED as well later because I wanted the track pads. The interesting thing I found is that the deck is just SO optimised that the battery performance is the same as the Ally X is almost every game. Example, my

Valve says it is “hard at work” on Steam Deck 2, but there is still no release window

“We’re hard at work on it. And obviously every step of the way, if you look at our hardware projects over the years, you can draw a straight line from the original Steam Controller and Steam Machine to Steam Deck, to everything that we’re announcing and shipping this year. And we expect Steam Deck 2

What about the steam controller has everyone so excited?

What made steam deck more successful today is the same reason the previous steam controller and steam machine flopped, valve wanted to push linux gaming back then but there were almost no games supported on linux during the first steam controller/machine. Fast forward to steam deck's release when pr
