So most employees are quietly encouraged to only work on what's bound to be a good investment for them and that's one of the reasons a lot of projects fail.

    I was a PC gamer for years, now I'm "too old" for games, at 33 I don't have time for them anymore. I'm buying games as a form of appreciation, I don't play them. I even bought original Steam Controller and one was never turned on, other one I just turned on for 10 minutes testing. When there was a sale recently I bought Steam Deck, just to try it out and put on the shelve.
    GOD DAMN I was SO AMAZED when I tried it. It was so seamless and smooth experience. I don't know if I'm more amazed by hardware (not performance, I'm talking about these touchpads, how it fits in my hands) or the software (on Steam OS it run every single game I tried, even when it was marked as unsupported, the UI is handy, the controls customization is out of this world).
    Finally I'm somehow finding some time to play again. It's so fast to just grab it, continue where I left off day before and pause it again anytime I want it.
    I was skeptical and now I'm a total fanboy on an unhealthy level!

      Somehow I haven’t seen enough people fully realize the impact Valve has had on desktop Linux. Although Windows users weren’t smirking and mocking us Linux users as much as they used to ten years ago or so, the Steam Deck has ramped up acceptance and interest in Linux (at least online). It was nigh unheard of for PC owners to talk positively and straight up demand Linux in new computers outside of Linux groups. Yes it’s mostly gamers asking for SteamOS in new PC handhelds but that alone is big I’d say. If Valve’s push to spread Linux doesn’t lose steam (heh) then we might see more migrate the rest of their computers to Linux.

    • @Ferrostitan
      @Ferrostitan 11 місяців тому

      @@sne4ky647 I should probably add a disclaimer that it really depends on what your job is. Personally everything I need is through web apps so it's just a matter of getting a browser installed (a Firefox installer is included) and getting comfortable with Linux as an OS. Coming from a Windows background it took a little bit of googling to do what I wanted but the transition really isn't that bad. I think as long as the stuff you need is installable on Linux without your company's IT department kicking up a fuss it should be good to go.
      Outside of image editing software which might make things slightly choppy, the Deck shouldn't have any issues running the software you need/want. In terms of input, I got myself the most compact Bluetooth keyboard + mouse just for the device since it helps with portability, along with a third party dock, but every little inclusion means you're carrying a heavier, bulkier load no matter what so you'll need to account for that if you're really bringing it on the go.
      The screen size can be somewhat small especially if you're working with word processing or even general browsing, but I knew that going in and to be honest it feels substantially bigger than my phone so I'm quite OK with it. I prefer hooking it up with an external monitor whenever possible, though.
      All that aside, one neat bonus with desktop mode is that as long as you've got your keyboard and mouse connected, the gaming experience is almost exactly the same as playing on a standard PC. I'd say the majority of your Steam library is likely fine to play as well.
      Pack that all away and you still get your handheld Steam Deck experience just as Lord Gaben intended.
      I think the only real drawback is the lack of a camera which is why I still keep my work laptop around. You can probably get a Bluetooth one as a workaround though, but I don't see much need for one personally.
