We're ready for announcements of HL3, Steam Controller 2 and a release of steamOS to all hardware. Do it in reverse order to build excitement ๐.
Steam Deck
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
- Follow the rules of Sopuli
- Posts must be related to the Steam Deck in an obvious way.
- No piracy, there are other communities for that.
- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.
I find this to be great and am particularly comforted by the following:
Can my SteamOS Compatibility test results be worse than Deck Verified?
No. SteamOS Compatibility results will all be the same or higher than Steam Deck Verified results.
We've recently seen games that are hard locked to work on Steam Deck hardware specifically, but will be anticheat blocked on any other linux/SteamOS device with different hardware.
So that may not actually work out.
