The community name has been changed, but the c/steamdeck part cannot be changed without creating a new community.
In the previous discussion on whether to include Steam Machine/Steam Frame/Steam OS, the majority of the responses wanted to include the new hardware, at least for the time being.
Part of this decision is that, right now, the fediverse isn’t really large enough to support multiple hardware-specific Steam OS communities. However, if the community grows or it becomes apparent that the communities need to be separated, we can do that at a later time.
As always, feedback is encouraged and welcome.
Excited to see the real world performance of the steam cube
It may be enough to sell my almost unused ps5

I was just thinking the same thing. I don’t think I’ve turned it on in a year.
Yeah I pray it has a decent experience for modern games and isnt just an indie game box.
The deck can play ghost of tsushima, while not a recent game, it is definetly the best looking game I have ever played. The steam machine can probably run modern AAA games (without any AC/DRM)
Yeah but thats on a 720p screen not on a 1080p+ TV. Steamdeck can’t even do darksouls 1 on a 1080p display without being sub 60fps.
Steam deck is limited in power and thermals much more than a standalone console. Plus newer hardware.
