The temerity to repeat 'soon' for well over a year is one of Valve's worst traits. One wonders if reflexively lying to customers is intentionally baked into their culture.

I think Valve has good intentions and wants a lot of things done soon, but they just don't have enough people on their Steam Deck team to get things done at the speed they want.

Yeah, and that's probably why development for 3.5 has also been this slow. They were busy with the OLED model

[–] Hominine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your guess has the right feel for me too. A lot of people were hungry for OLED and this is the trade off.
I'm just ready for Linux to grow. Maybe it is naive to think that one distro will carry us much further but with the proper solution I can easily imagine a lot of people dual booting their PCs soon.

Honestly, what would you get out of SteamOS on PC anyway? Just install Linux, set up the drivers you need, launch Steam at startup, and default it to Big Picture Mode.

Boom, SteamOS.
