(www.gamingonlinux.com)
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Even if they were working on it, they wouldn't tell, otherwise a bunch of people would be waiting on the steam deck 2 instead of buying the current one.
They're gonna make a Black Myth 2? We'll shit, I can skip the first one.
Alternatively...
What if they might make a Steam Deck 3? Better skip the 2nd one as well.
We all know there isn't going to be a steam deck 3. Best we can offer is a steam deck 2 episode 2.
The Deck is a beauty, but let's face it, people would "run" to buy a deck 2. We had thousands selling their old handheald when the new oled model came out and it was barely a (very good) mid-gen upgrade.

That's a poor comparison, as Black Myth has just come out and games take a long time to develop. And the Steam Deck 2 literally doesn't exist yet.
If Nintendo announced a Switch 2 tomorrow, saying it's compatible with existing Switch games, do you think sales of the Switch would go up, or down?
