My first day out and about with my new Steam Deck was a success! I tested a bit of Sonic Mania, Team Racing, and Stray. All of them ran as if they were natively ported! The battery life so far seems to be holding up. One of my friends joined me for lunch today and they thought it was a Nintendo Switch! 😀 I’ve also been checking out the included desktop mode. It’s a super light version of KDE. Steam OS seems nice so far, but I’m kinda disappointed by the lack of items in their repository. Usually I could just install smb or KDE Connect for networking between other systems on a local network, but they don’t provide those on their repo… I would think Valve would want to put that option in for LAN gaming and network access.
It’s not that big of a deal though… I can always fork it in from another repo! 😛 I did that all the time under other distros when I couldn’t find something.
