    TL;DR: why does the Steam Deck have a small screen and run Linux? Oh, that’s why.

    Kind of strange that this article is written like the author was a fool and then learned their lesson, but hey I’m not a writer.

      Yeah, a lot of this stuff is pretty obvious.

      This kind of article is good for general people to see though, because a lot of people who haven’t used the deck assume higher resolution screen is better and windows will be better than Linux.

        Valve made all these points when the Deck first released, but I guess some people didn’t believe it til other devices ignored their warnings!

          People forgot ps2 times where everyone enjoyed 480p 20fps gta games and enjoyed it, now everyone needs 8k 240fps, Nintendo proves again and again that’s gameplay that matters, not fps and resolution

            Gameplay is important, but if the Scarlet and Violet launch have taught pokemon fans anything, it’s that QA testing is equally as important.

              Just forbid developers to send patches like in ps2 times and games will be complete on day 0, there wasn’t very bad launches like cyberpunk or pokemon or others
