    Keep in mind that Steam Deck is designed to be a trojan horse to Linux for console users. It has consolized designed and feel to it but has a very low ceiling of entry into Open platform. Everything you do on Steam Deck will have you lead to tinkering and this is normal. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and screw it up. You have enough tools out there to adjust almost anything in Steam Deck.

    8:30 i disagree few a few reasons. I feel like the user interface is pretty friendly towards people who just wanna game. Its as simple as using an xbox. It only get tricky when you want to do special stuff such as modding games, downloading emulators, and stuff like that. And I feel like the desktop mode is still pretty self-explanatory if you wanted to add discord, google chrome, or add another launcher. Great video dude! Wish you success.

      I think he was talking about game compatibility being a issue that some people don’t want to deal, because with an Xbox who know a game will work on it but with the deck there might have some issues that may require some tuning that some people just don’t or can’t deal with

    Welcome aboard! Really cool stuff, I had a couple of good laughs! Aside from the fact that I disagree with you about the UX, one major thing to mention though: I would highly recommend learning about the "Golden 40" that leverages the 40Hz capabilities of the Deck's display. Inevitably, you'll often end up worrying if a recent release can run at 60FPS on there. The Golden 40 would massively help here: Due to the fact you can lower the panel's refresh rate to 40Hz through the Quick Action Menu, you are able to go for 40FPS instead of 30. Why you may ask? Despite a 10FPS additional payload to the Deck's graphics APU, 40 FPS is right in the middle between 30 and 60 FPS in terms of frame pacing - meaning a nearly-60 FPS experience. Try it out! If you want to see this in action, feel free to give an older video of mine a shot, where I tried to explain this comprehensively. Cheers!

      @Tech140exe  Рік тому +2

    It's important to understand that a 7" Non-OLED 800P 60hz screen, is a good thing in terms of a mobile device such as this, anything larger is going to require more overhead TDP than the little 15W the steam deck can operate at, anything more is going to have terribly battery life, even less consistent framerate, the juice isn't worth the squeeze in terms of display, plus you can dock it and it upscales it's image well using FSR, I had mine docked to a 70" screen last week and it was running flawlessly.
    Also don't expect Valve to "upgrade" the screen if they make a v2 or something like that, unless some manufacturer figures out how to make a really low TDP consumption OLED display it's not likely to happen.

    I have to say, Windows PC handhelds have their own set of issues you will need to resolve. Most have portrait displays (like the Steam Deck) and this breaks compatibility with older games while SteamOS handles this automatically. Some have an easier time of changing TDP than others, some could use fixes to their audio (the Aya Neo Air Pro had one of its speakers out of phase), etc.
    Honestly, the Steam Deck is probably the easiest one to deal with, but in general I wouldn’t recommend any PC handheld to someone who doesn’t want to tinker around at least a little bit. It also just makes it way more useful. Steam plugins and Emudeck are awesome!

    I have my steam deck and the user experience is awful when you install games anywhere (SD card or the internal storage) your internal storage will be filled up with “Other” files. These files can not be deleted the other files are 1 GB per game and even if that game is deleted it stays on the internal storage . Now you may ask why does it even matter well once the internal storage is quickly filled up once it reaches 0 Bites and yes it does say 0 bites if you install any new game you will not be able to instal any of them then if you uninstall a game that was previously installed it will double the files for the certain game. This is horrible and valve haven’t even talked about it or plan on fixing it
