It's not per day. The number is cumulative.

Darkly-Compact” theme is amazing

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out! I just swapped over and and feeling right at home. It's a much better use of horizontal space compared to the default theme.

portable power banks that charge the deck while playing? in c/[email protected]

[–] dman87 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, there are a lot of options out there. I picked up one to use with my ROG Ally that I use with both it and my steam deck. Though, the ROG Ally definitely needs the battery backup a lot more often than the steam deck.

You need to look at which USB PD modes the power bank supports. I can't remember the exact spec of the top of my head. But, I believe the Steam deck supports up to 45 watt input at 15v over USB-C.

Personally, I picked up an Anker 737 Power Bank when it was on sale because it supports up to 140 watt charging to whatever I need to charge in the future. (Don't buy this one at MSRP it goes on sale often and there are more price competitive options.

I think it's more nuanced than that. Personally, there are a couple of reasons for me. Though, I have already purged my account and deleted it. First, I spent a long time on Reddit. It was a part of my daily habits for more than 12 years. Though, I think getting a way from it is not a bad thing in the case of the reason. The second reason that is more difficult to change with anything other than time is the communities. There are a lot of smaller niche communities on Reddit that really only have a home there. It's this one that bothers me the most out of the whole situation.

Windows vs Steam OS for your deck? in c/[email protected]

I have not switch over my Steamdeck to Windows 11. But, I did pick up an ROG Ally b/c I apparently lack impulse control. IMO, the experience with Steam OS on Steam deck is far and above Windows 11 on a similar-ish handheld.

Ah, that's unfortunate! Thanks for sharing your experience. I've really enjoyed the maturity of AMD on Linux these days with a few cards.

Did you give it a spin in Linux? That's the main use case that sort of has my interest.
