First year fully gaming on Linux.
(lemmy.zip)
I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.
There will probably not be a SD2 in the next year. And i hope it isnt coming out soon as the SD OLED got released relatively recently and it would be just a "why" when they release 2 "New" handhelds in like 1-2 years. And the OLED is already the perfect console to game. It has compatibility with like 95% of games and it can run them with ease on good optimized games on high and not optimized on low - medium, touchpad is accurate, the trackpads are the best and repairability and upgradability is just great! The only thing i would want is a new Steam Controller, in a nutshell SD but without the display.
I'm perfectly fine with waiting several years, I agree that it would be way too soon otherwise. I have the LCD and I'm happy with it, when this one breaks or I decide to upgrade I'll take a look at an OLED and see if I think it's worth it for me.
I've been very impressed with the trackpads for a lot of games. I even find myself using them on games that were designed for controllers because there's just nothing like a mouse sometimes.
I wouldnt be suprised if they would release SD 2 with VR support in few years ;D
That could definitely be a possiblity! While I can't say I would use it a huge amount, VR is something that I would like to tinker with in the future. My understanding is that it still needs some work on Linux, but that may be changing.
Steam could pusht stuff like that too! They pushed linux compatibility with steamdeck and i could see that they push it with their vr headset. and they just need to improve the linux compatibility and then theoretically both steamos and all other linux distros can run easily steamvr
I could definitely see it happening that way. I don't think anything has been announced either way, but I know I had seen some rumors or speculation about a possible semi self-contained VR headset from Valve. If that turns out to be fact, I could see them using Linux as the base for it.
