I can’t overstate how cool it is to have my own SteamOS “console”, under my TV. Might not feel like it’s a game changer, but being able to play my Steam games on Linux, on my TV, at high resolutions and details, with a controller friendly interface, it’s just… magical.

Haven’t really touched the PS5 since 😅

Plus, I can resume my games on the Steam Deck when I’m outside, or in bed. It feels like a complete ecosystem, and I love it. Now I want a Steam Controller 2, please.

@thelinuxEXP I may consider doing this in the future, its just such a great ecosystem. I love my steamdeck its so great being able to just seamlessly play my games anywhere
@kizaing @thelinuxEXP Yeah, for my next "desktop" PC I want to go with a mini low-power formfactor, and a separate dedicated Steam console sounds really awesome. I dock my Steam Deck, but it struggles with demanding games.
@tonch @kizaing Yeah, mine isn’t exactly small 😅 Even compared to a PS5, it’s huge
@thelinuxEXP @kizaing My thing is I don't want to keep something that huge & power hungry on all the time when all I'm doing is normal web browsing and light work, so separating gaming from my main PC like that is appealing
