My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.
There is a decent chance the USB-connected charger/receiver for the Steam Controller 2 could wake a docked Steam Deck LCD, btw.
Which valve? The one that made half life? Lol
No, the SteamOS and hardware teams are actually different groups of people to the game developers.
it’s for running x86 linux applications on android.
No, it’s not.
https://waydro.id/ is the basis for Lepton.
Steamworks SDK supports Android now. Obviously, should there be an official full Steam client for Android, the preferred route is for game developers to release native Android games with Steam integration.
No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.
damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
“AI at its core” is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.
That approach uses virtual machines. While that is possible (otherwise we wouldn’t see it), it is probably not really optimized for gaming.
Whether or not it’s optimized for gaming is up to Google. The technology to bring Frame’s ARM Steam client onto Android exists.
It is, but my assumption is that ARM-based linux and ARM-based android require a different codebase.

Writing a full Steam client for iOS or Android would be a huge amount of work independently from that.

a fully functional Steam client would still be quite a surprise.
What’s running stand-alone games on Frame then if not a fully functional Steam client?
Maybe I’m missing something but what’s the connection to SteamOS? Did I accidentally skip a paragraph that explains how to use it on Steam Deck?
It’s not really enshittification when “Google reads your mail” has been the entire point since the launch of GMail. Relevant ads, grouping mails into topics, find spam, etc. has always been the selling point of GMail.
Proton runs on SLR.
Can anyone eli5 what the steam runtime actually does?
It’s the thing that actually runs your games.
Seems they moved away from code names: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/steamrt4/README.md?ref_type=heads
v4 used to have the code name “medic”: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/wip/task725/medic/README.md?ref_type=heads
Does it not come to you that someone might have never even heard of DF?
These few people can just watch a few minutes of the video and get the gist of it.
Valve made no Steam Machine before the upcoming one. Are you confused and meant the 3rd party devices that were branded Steam Machines? Those were not by Valve and not by the Half-Life development team in particular.
Steam Controller 1 is still fully supported and got Bluetooth firmware several years after release: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/353370/view/3931035846865617357
