    Really shows how broad your mind it. Cause Steamdeck if anything is a giant market “FU” to Consoles in general

  3. Rivetmuncher

    Steamdeck is openly a PC wrapped in a console interface. Most consoles are heavily locked down PC-equivalent hardware where most added functionality requires throwing money at it.

    Someone I know was talking about getting a “gaming laptop” and I suggested a steam deck. He’s super happy.

    Of course the performance isn’t the same, but if he was getting a laptop anyway, it’s not far off

    The Steam deck IS a PC, just a tiny one.

    If it had a locked OS it wouldn’t get nowhere near as much praise

    Does Xbox, Sony, or Nintendo openly let you install another OS on their system?

  9. _silentgameplays_

    Steam Deck is a mini PC with Arch Linux, customized by Valve and it is not locked down like other consoles.

    For example, Play Station(any version) uses a BSD fork tailored to PS hardware, but it’s nailed shut to that hardware.

    Xbox(any version) uses a cut down Windows version tailored to Xbox hardware, but it is also nailed shut to that hardware.

    On Steam Deck you can install Windows 10/11 (if you really want the bloatware), any Linux version or BSD version of your choosing, because it’s not locked down like PS/Xbox/Switch.

    i don’t get the point of using a steamdeck docked on your tv. Just get a long hdmi cable or move your pc to the tv.

    it’s easy Setamdeck is still a PC, it’s an entry level PC, so the meme is super accurate, it’s like they are welcomed into the flock and encouraged, with their tiny little low powered fun machine, to get into it and have fun.

    What the fuck? The SteamDeck is a PC.

  14. unrikopan

    yep, being able to pirate games is everything you need

  15. Grzyboleusz

    Even if it runs pc OS and could be used as pc, saying it is a pc is a stretch to say the least. It’s primary function is being a handheld console. Is anyone ever gonna buy it to do taxes, install excell on it or do anything office work related? You can do all those things on a smartphone too, are those pcs too?

    I mean… for work (nightshifts), I have my steamdeckl with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The steamdeck is more like a Laptop in console form than a console and especially with the dock, a monitor, mouse and keyboard, doing things on it, especially on the desktop enviroment, is not that different from doing something on a PC – especially if you are using a distro with the KDE plasma desktop enviroment on your PC too

  17. Tethered_Water

    You don’t have to pay extra for built in features on the steam deck, like fucking multiplayer; a basic service you’re already paying your ISP for.

    Fuck consoles.

  18. LeDanc

    Console will be the most popular for a few years still until the day pre builds evolve (easier to use and to switch parts) or valve decides “you know what? We’re making a steam deck but bigger.” The moment pc gaming gets easier or more accessible consoles will start losing (more than what they are losing now)

  19. Cant_Meme_for_Jak

    I prefer to use a controller on my gaming rig. 

    It’s not about the interface, or even the framerate. It’s about the freedom.

  20. Beanruz

    Steamdeck is a PC, plus it’s awesome…

    Consoles not so much awesome. But still good for what it does. Plays games!

  21. fightnight14

    Also gamers criticizing lower end nvidia cards because they are “bad” even though those were 10 times more powerful than a Steam Deck. Also them: Steam Deck is the best thing ever! BM:Wukong in 30fps with upscaling and very low settings. Lmao

  22. TrollCannon377

    Because the steam deck is literally s fking PC jist on a small form factor and with s gaming focused OS

  23. TGB_Skeletor

    Steam deck is a PC

    SteamOS is based on linux

  24. KobeJuanKenobi9

    What’s really fun is telling people are there are legit reasons to prefer a switch over a steam deck and that these days I reach for my Switch more often even if I have the game on both platforms

  25. A_PCMR_member

    The steamdeck IS a PC , with an overlay to make controller navigation easier. Portable with multi touchpads, touchscreen and bonus buttons over your standard controller layout. You can still do and use it like a regular laptop. You can even have win 95 games run on it.

    You can even install windows on it

    Basically someone took a decent entry level Laptop , smushed it into a nintendo switch size and made it 100€ off vs the laptop

    Consoles are essentially a beefed up steamdeck (APU with more GPU cores) at roughly the speed of a 3 year old midrange pc BUT:

    -Pay to access your own internet

    -Pay to get cloud saves

    -Only “allowed” software can be installed

    -Too bad you cant use your preferred input.

    -Backwards compatibility ? Whats that

    -Pay to have a stand and previously included optical drive

    So Take your Run of the mill midrange Prebuilt, make it smaller and lock it down completely so you only get approved software and to play games online, or use cloud storage you have to pay the SI (Asus , Gigabyte, MSI, Cyberpower etc) a MONTHLY FEE

    Devils advocate: playing on your couch *can be* more relaxing than any chair. God of War on PS4? Come on, unmatched chilling.

  28. Pootisman16

    Steam deck is basically a more specialized portable PC.

    The Steam overlay is very intuitive to work with, but if you want, you can go into a full Linux desktop and further customize it.

    I use mine to emulate most of my older games with great success.

    Consoles can’t really do that (anymore)

  29. Ok-Sympathy9830

    Wow, this really is the PC master race. lmao
