Debunk from dev Pierre-Loup Griffais ‪@plagman.bsky.social‬

"we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there."

Having a popular, standardized pc with fixed hardware and OS would enable game developers to aim that as minimum(or recommended) requirement and to optimize their games for that. And since it will be running linux, this means that gaming in linux would become even more mainstream and better supported too.

Also being theoretically not portable, it could be more powerful than the Steam Deck making emulation even easier.

Having a Valve made device that can run switch games that take up more resources would be amazing. Definitely hope they go for better specs that allow for emulation to become easier.

That is indeed a good argument reason. I wish them all the best!
