I just got it up and running, so here’s first impressions and feedback. Installation was simple, just about 5/10 mins in total. UI looks great, super clean. Game installation process seems great but I only had time to try one small game (celeste). For some reason I had 4 Celeste shortcuts show up in Steam. Deleted 3. None had artwork (don’t know if that’s a feature yet), but I just used SteamGridDB plugin. On launching it took too long so I rebooted. Same thing again, but after changing to Proton Experimental, it booted after a minute. Second boot was very fast.

Basically, it seems great even now. I will test in more but in current state, seems at least useable and useful to me. I never touched my Epic games, but will do now.

Not really a workaround, but better alternatives exist. Greenlight and Xbplay will give better image quality and latency than edge. And Xbplay lets you add shortcuts to steam.

Exactly. The main reason I started this is cos the dreamcast wasn’t getting enough attention.

I don’t have the answer, but am just wondering what’s the issue with dual-boot and windows? I dual boot and run windows, it’s fine.

Everyone with Deck (OLED) Envy, just rest safe in the knowledge there will be a Steam Deck in a couple of years. Then when you buy that, there will be some other revision later that causes the same feelings until Steam Deck 3 comes out, and on the cycle continues… PC players feel this everytime some new gfx feature is released. It’s how it works. You probably can’t or shouldn’t own all the Steam Decks

It seems to depend on the game. Maybe because some games don’t have real exclusive fullscreen mode, and others do. In some games FSR doesn’t work at lower res unless you enable windowed mode.
