Switching to Linux is better.

Amazing! I hope I can buy a Linux on ARM Steam Deck someday. It should be more efficient, lighter, and smaller.

Like it, like Bluesky too, uninstall Twitter after using these apps for several days.

Reject any app that has an forced automated recommendation system

Just for kids? It needs to be totally banned for everyone!

Steam deck changed my life.

I have used Arch Linux as the main OS of my PC since 6 years ago, but I always need to use Windows to play games. I never used Windows again after I got a Steam deck

iPhone + iPad/Mac + Steam Deck can meet all my daily needs.

I like it, want the Steam Deck 2, and also want the Steam console or Steam machine series.

OK. The share of SteamOS within the Linux OS has increased by 3%.

So the amount of the active steam decks per month is about

0.4534 *2.32 *0.01 *150000000 ≈ 1,577,832

It's a good thing, even though I don't think games on Android are great.

—————————

Oh, I suddenly realized that maybe the Steam store will support and distribute Android games in a few years.

That’s something only Valve can definitely do successfully.

Generally, Proton is enough for gaming.

I use Tiny11 when I have to use Windows to run games.

This modified Windows edition has no ads, no Edge browser, no forced online microsoft account, and no forced updates, so it’s a tolerable Windows edition.

I think this shows a kind of intellectual impairment.

Thank you, friend.

And the second example is Rosetta 2 for gaming on ARM-based Macs. You mentioned that some emulators running x86 games (on ARM) are inefficient.

That's the point: emulation is not the same as translation.

Translation is generally more efficient than emulation and can sometimes even match or exceed the performance of native execution.

You need to realize the reality: we live in a cyberpunk world now.

Yes, it’s not a full web3 app, but I like that these apps are heading in the right direction.

However it's better than Twitter/Instagram. I can control my feed!

You are right, just trust your intuition and perception. The Fallout game series made by Bethesda is boring. On the other hand, the different gun genres aren't as interesting as the different professions, skills, and features, not to mention the lores of vampires, werewolves, and cult rites.

My gaming with WoW Classic is regularly crashing. OK, it's not a Verified game. My gaming with Cyberpunk 2077 in desktop mode still has the audio cracking problem.

But it's still the best electronic device I have ever bought.

I don’t have a cool kb&mouse combination for the deck. I just use the K380+Pebble, it’s not cool, but it works well for both my Deck and my iPad.

Which you said is a backward compatibility issue. Some games that are developed only for x86 or the DirectX API have performance issues, but other games that support cross-platform or cross-platform APIs like Vulkan do not have this problem.

An obvious example is the Nintendo Switch, which goes against your argument.

Because of backward compatibility, x86's efficiency still can't match ARM's. That's why I said games run on ARM would be more efficient, lighter, and smaller (when they natively support ARM).

If you have any doubts, just look at the Nintendo Switch.
