makes sense, it's their most successful hardware product. I'd be surprised if they didn't

They'll stop at gen 3 or whatever would have had a 3.

You forgot step 2 part 1 and step 2 part 2.

Step 2, part 1: Release OLED.
Step 2, part 2: Release roadmap.

Step 3: HL3 confirmed.

Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!

With the OLED announcement, the only thing I‘m missing is a convenient dual boot setup and that‘s it lol

Legitimately curious, no judgment: why do you want this? Not dealing with Windows is one of the best features of the Deck, IMHO.

Game pass for games on the cheap i imagine.

This works well.

Having to be online and with a good internet connection is not well suited for a handheld though, in my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

100% agree. The Deck itself has offline mode, of course, but cloud gaming and mobility don't really mix (ironic as it sounds).

Microsoft could release a customized Windows installer USB image that handles repartitioning and installs a touch friendly bootloader. Just like they're not interested in releasing a GamePass client on Flathub, they rather support competitors like the Ally that come with Windows by default.

Bazzite supports dual-booting, so if you really wanted to, you could wipe your deck right now, install Windows, and then install Bazzite.

I judge them by their track record. I am still waiting for their wireless vr that they said was coming.
