Csupporting it like a console is fucking stupid in my honest opinion
KThe problem is they have no standards, there are 30 different ayaneo at any given time
Cit won't slow down arbitrarily
KSo an upgrade path longer than a single upgrade that they did mid-generation is unrealistic
Msame with asus laptops
Cyes because it's a PC
MLuke literally cannot keep track of the insane skew in SKUs
CI hate how valve treats the deck as a console
Cit means it just gets worse over time
Cwith no upgrade path in sight
MI have many critiques of steamos but I can’t say that’s one of mine tbh
Cevery 2 years for upgrades to what is literally a laptop is logical
Cnot the OS, on about how they treat it as a console
Cit is not and will never be a console
Cyou don't have to upgrade constantly
Hit gives people who care as a dev a target instead of an arbitrary combination of hardware. you are missing the point entierly
KOkay let's put it this way cuz I don't think you're getting it
KThere are 30 ayaneo right now
C30 ayaneo is dumb
KThat's 30 fundamentally different handhelds that all need their own upgrade path because they have different hardware inside
KFramework has two laptops
KBoth of which have every upgrade they've ever released available for them at all times
CIt literally cannot get worse over time unless there's performance degradation due to software updates. It will be less adequate in running software which came out after it launched, but that isn't the same thing.
KThat is a true upgrade path and what they need to do to their handhelds if they are going to go this route long term
Cframework does it right
Cbut valve is being dumb w this decision
Calso just license steamos to OEMs please already
Hagain rem you are missing the point of why valve doesnt crap out a new handheld constantly
CI'm not because you do not have to upgrade it every year
CValve is primarily a software company
Cit just means you don't pay for crappy ancient hardware
Cby 2025 this will be ancient hardware
Cwe are nearly on Zen 6
Chence why they should just license the os
KThis is a bad argument
Hvalve is giving devs a target platform other than "box of random hardware"
and also upgrading just because there has been a 10% performance increase for 7% power increase is not worth making new hardware for
and also upgrading just because there has been a 10% performance increase for 7% power increase is not worth making new hardware for
KName another CPU that gets remotely the same performance at 15W
KYou can't, because they haven't made it yet
KIt doesn't matter what generation Zen it is, it does what it needs to do
CI can name devices that destroy the deck at 15W what?
KGo for it
CAny 7840U processor can run at 1080p 15W
C8840U
Cthe new Strix Point chips
CA box of random Arch packages
Hi run my deck at 7-10w most of the time, no handheld beats that
CWith their runtime of course, technically
Cwhat are you playing on it
Cserious question
Cmaybe it's me but this device collects dust nearly as much as my switch since I got it
