So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc
The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.
You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony
Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3
The Ukraine military has been using steam decks on the front line Do you really think it’s affected their bottom line?
They actually do, they’re just locked down from factory
https://github.com/SleepTheGod/PS5_Linux_Boot/blob/main/README.md
Remember that PS2 natively supported this and modern consoles like the Switch can boot directly into desktop Linux.
The steam deck is also a small PC, just like the consoles and was priced perfectly for success
Not likely as it’s supposed to be an all in one solution
There might be a single USB4 but everything routes through the CPU IO and there is no chipset.
Definitely not going to be anything more than performance/quality FSR or native 1080p
4K 60 with FSR. Of course they don’t mention what level of FSR.
Should be perfect for 1080p gaming
So you admit that you asked questions, specifically why, then told me my answer was your answer
Peak interaction you’ve got there
I suggest you revisit each response where you asked a question and let me know the count
All data on the internet is crawled and farmed. Weakening regulations doesn’t change this behaviour, just makes it legal
You’re the one asking questions about changing it
It’s clear that weaker regulations allow them to do more with impunity as I originally stated
Because laws are supposed to have teeth and consequences There is zero doubt that everything public on the internet or otherwise is consumed and aggregated by these companies; you still don’t understand why weakening regulations benefits them?
Are you asking me why some in Europe want to make it legal? Because they’re already doing it, just they want to make it legal
Make sense?
Because they want to strip the right to privacy so they can better monetize
Naive to think the GDPR is stopping anyone now.
And my point was they’re already doing this in the face of regulation.
As if the GDPR was a barrier to IP theft
You can use Vulkan fairly easily as long as you have 8G vram

You don’t even get a cubicle anymore, here’s a lopsided ikea desk you share with three other people.
I think this is the goal that it would be priced competitively with the Pro or higher end consoles
They’ve built an ecosystem that gives you that console experience and if you really want to use it as a PC then you can.
The whole thing screams high quality experience for those that want it to just work or those that want to tinker
They really know their audience
