Yesterday, July 1st, they announced the Alpha release of this next-generation mod manager and their new Product Manager got in touch to mention they "would be really keen to get feedback from Linux users". So this is your chance to ensure Linux (and Steam Deck) finally become a first-class citizen for game modding.

interesting.... can you please go ahead and tell this to my Minisforum PC i hooked up to my TV and let it boot into big picture and resume from sleep etc. just like its a console?

Because from what you told me it shouldnt work... but it does... and somebody needs to tell it and i can't because i didnt spend so much time with it... you know i just installed bazzite and called it a day.... so i don't really have a big connection to it :/


But in all seriousness, you're completly wrong here. The chip used in the Steamdeck sure is special and does a lot of heavy lifting. But everything that makes out the steamdeck is definetely not exclusive to its hardware. You 100% can just hook up any PC, be it some minisforum mini pc, a laptop or a off the shelf gaming PC, install literally any linux on it and within a few hours of installing and configuring stuff - you can make your own "steamdeck". It works. Reliable, hasslefree.

I assume you just don't have any real-world experience with setting something like this up. Go ahead and try it, it's not hard and you will see that you just don't need a steamdeck.

It's absolutely nothing special to produce a console-like gaming experience with linux these days.

You really shouldn't believe to be correct if everyone else has the real-world experience you try to tell others can't exist
