The Fedora hate is strong with this one.

Dude, I’ve got one, no need to go all fanboy on me.

Watch your manners.

doing that would kinda defeat the purpose of a handheld, wouldn’t it?

No because docked use is explicitly one of the advertised features:

I though it was implied that I played it with a keyboard on the PC, what kind of comparison would it be, the Steam Deck is itself a big controller

You implied nothing. “Big” PCs can use controllers and Steam Deck has touchpads, touchscreen, and you can connect keyboard and mouse because a Steam Deck is a PC.

I sometimes do but it’s not my main desktop PC. I have a notebook that’s much more powerful but when I left the notebook in my backpack besides the apartment door and sat down at my desk already, I may be too lazy to get up again and then grab whatever is the USB-C dockable device nearby. (Sometimes it’s also my Samsung phone for DeX desktop.)

Steam Deck is artificially power-constrained. That affects desktop use as well. Everything is just that bit less smooth than a Ryzen 9 system that’s not constrained to handheld power consumption.

a pluralistic home for the Israelis and Palestinians

Would be a welcome change if diplomatic efforts at least started to attempt a different approach such as this instead of sticking to the same formula that fails since eight decades.

Ah yes, the approach that’s failing since 80 years surely going to work this time.

Is that an accurate description of the game?

Boomer shooter. That’s why it’s crossposted to @boomershooters@lemmy.world.

What gave you the impression that I thought it would?

What gave the completely irrational impression that filing a bug report before commenting was a requirement?

Didn’t know they disabled it

Right but presumably they chose the names?

I don’t know.

It’s not a requirement to file a bug report before you comment on anything. Don’t be silly.

It’s not a requirement but if anything is silly it’s acting as if an alpha version is the final release and complaining in a random forum would change anything.

Normally when people develop a feature they do it once and then it’s “done”

The feature (boot manager) was not developed by KDE. They rely in systemd components which are all in active development.

So did you file a bug report or are you just being negative in a forum the developers will probably never read?

You really think they’re going to revisit this?

I reserve my judgement until a final release is made.

That’s not really how software development works.

How does it work, then? Have you filed a bug report?

I really don’t understand why people have this little awareness of usability.

It’s an alpha release.

Is it really ready?

It’s an alpha release.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated in nearly 3 years, which doesn’t bode well for future Android release compatibility.

Commits to the Github repository keep going but the developer doesn’t seem to realize the importance of more regular but smaller in scope releases which attracts users and more users mean more contributors.

Samsung TVs run Tizen. If they have an AMD APU, running Steam natively would be possible. The biggest challenge is probably heat management.

My wife said it’s a Samsung Frame TV with SteamOS streaming built in…

While I think such a device is plausible in general, I don’t think Samsung would want to hand a “Frame” related TV trademark to a 3rd party.

with proton baked in

Finally a way to play all those Windows Phone games!

Just get another handheld then, maybe a used ROG Ally, and install SteamOS or Bazzite. It’ll be fine.

I don’t know who those “we” people are but benchmarks have repeatedly shown that in low wattage situations the performance difference between Deck and the newer handhelds is negligible, so this prediction is hardly a surprise IMO.
