PlayStation Project Q. Will you be buying one? - Lemmy.world

Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely. It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300. Will you be picking one up later this year?

Absolutely not. If it’s a streaming device that means I have to be near high-speed wifi to use it. For the same price you can get a steam deck which can play thousands of games.

Yeah it’s why I’m on the fence about a Steam Deck. I’m stuck between a Project Q and gaming PC or just getting a Steam Deck with a dock and monitor so my gaming PC is like a Switch. Is that possible with a Steam Deck?

Yes it is possible. You should look at the ROG ally since it runs Windows which may be more to your liking

I thought the Steam Deck was Windows too.

It’s SteamOS (Linux based) with a compatibility layer for Windows games.

Ah I though it had Windows installed.

Is it possible to install Windows 11 on it and use it has a hybrid gaming PC/gaming handheld/everyday PC if it’s connected to a dock with a monitor and keyboard & mouse?

You don’t have to install Windows. The Linux OS can boot into desktop mode and it functions just like a desktop PC with the Dock. I have it hooked up to a monitor and a TV via separate docks and the monitor dock has a mouse and keyboard. It works great.

I’ve never used Linux before. I’ve only ever used Windows and macOS. Also can the Steam OS play non Steam Windows games. Could my daughter play Roblox, Fall Guys and Sims 4 on it?
