  • Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year’s offerings in 1080p, it’s probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn’t care about this. So can we stop pretending it’s a good product?














  • For some devices, gaming is all they need to do.

    Serviceable isn’t good, even if gaming is all you do, you’re better off with a regular distro — this was brought up already in the comment you’re replying to.

    EmuDeck, Heroic and Lutris integrate directly into Steam. With a single click you can add a shortcut in your Steam library

    Adding a secondary launcher to a launcher is bad design. Again, this is something that I brought up in the comment you’re replying to, along with having to use hacky software that only exists to remedy SteamOS usability problems, of which emudeck is one.

    I’m not sure how they can make it any easier

    They don’t have to. The problems I mentioned only exist because of SteamOS dumb decision to completely segregate the “desktop” and “gaming” experiences. They’re fixed by just letting me use my computer. Imagine if Steam logged you out every time you exited Big Picture mode, because this is pretty much how SteamOS currently works. I think you guys are cutting a LOT of slack to SteamOS because of what Valve did for Linux gaming but there’s really not a single reason to use it over something like Bazzite (not the Steam Deck version, obviously).
