  • So far I've yet to encounter the separation between save and game data issue. It's permissions that drive me up the wall. I've tried giving everyone write access, I've tried creating a group specifically for games. But no, proton/wine prefixes require ownership and not just access, and will not yield, and Steam won't even show what's the issue unless you run it from terminal.

  • Eh, Gnome is fine. I like KDE, but I'd rather use my PC for the stuff I want to use it for rather than obsessively change some stuff so it looks better only to change it the next time I boot it again.

  • Don't think so. Those who actually are interested are just a vocal minority, compared to Switch userbase. I'm personally conflicted on this one.

    On one hand, I kinda want to get a Switch 2 because I know how convenient it is to just pick up a Switch and play a game without fiddling with settings.

    On the other, I have so many games on Steam/Heroic it just makes sense to get a Steam Deck or a competitor.

    For now I'm waiting for the reviews of Lenovo Legion Go S with Z1 Extreme and Steam OS, then I'll probably make a decision on what to get

  • When we're talking game journalism, most of them aren't even journalists, just 3rd party PR for publishers. Only thing they do is just forward marketing blurbs they receive, rather than journalism.

  • Haha, I am researching like crazy as well. So far I came to the conclusion that I have 3 options:

    • get a Steam Deck
    • get a Lenovo Legion Go (more power but less battery life)
    • wait and see what will Lenovo Legion Go 2 be like

    So far I'm waiting. My current Switch isn't going anywhere, but going forward I'm not going to spend much on games there.

  • As someone with kids and a Switch, I think I can chime in.

    It's easy to pick up, my kids play some games on it, curiously it's always in handheld mode, never docked.

    The literal only thing that might change when I get a Steam Deck is them not being able to use touch controls. They sometimes prefer them for some games, but I think it's worth learning to use a controller in the long run. Pretty sure we'll have both Switch and SD for a while so I don't think it's much of a problem.

    I'll miss some games, but in the end I don't really have that much nostalgia for Nintendo as I grew up with a PC and only consoles I had were a NES knock-off, and a Gameboy Color

  • IIRC it was only later models that were 4-9 hrs. Release model got 3-5 I think?

    They switched (heh) production in later hardware revisions to a more efficient version of the CPU, manufactured with lower nm process. Conveniently it was also to stop easy access to debug pins which were exposed in the OG version, giving easy access to entire system
