Athe nintedo switch supports downloading games while it is suspended
Awhy cant the steam deck
CYeah but the Switch chip draws like 1~2 watts at idle
Aasking the tough questions
Eoh, that's a good tip, thanks!
AI think the switch has a dedicated low power coprocessor or something for downloading + background tasks
A
Aby the way
Aflick that on
AHe wants to turn off the screen completely while continuing downloads
Ayeah but his device is gonna suspend after 15min otherwise
CPlus Steam's whole CDN serves some heavily compressed stuff
AThat toggle basically just leaves the screen on the entire time, no?
AOh that, yeah
Ai think you can still lock the screen and it will turn it off
Ain any case, this fancy si0x12 whatever is called
Ais messing up the suspend and we still cant use it
AIs that the Ally ultra power saving mode thing?
Ayea
CI thought that was leetspeak for a second

Ei wonder if more high end handhelds will ship with linux
thought the steam deck would trigger a wave of such but... didnt quite happen
thought the steam deck would trigger a wave of such but... didnt quite happen
AIt's valves fault tbh
AThey still haven't publicly shipped SteamOS
CSome say they're waiting on NVK
Eis steamOS that instrinsically tied to the hardware?
CNot really, just quirky
AIt has some hard coded stuff for the deck
ASo sort of?
Asince i added support to other handhelds i can tell you
Ait will never arrive for third party handhelds
AThough we've seen changes from Valve that's gradually removing the hard coded stuff
Aunless there is an official agreement between manufacturers
Aand valve
Aits just not there yet
Aany device that has been released with windows support can not have steamos pretty much
CFair enough, you need vendor support
Abecause the controller doesnt work correctly in linux
CEven the Legion GO?
AThey can, it'll just be semi-broken
ALike you'll be missing a few buttons
Aespecially the legion go
ALike back buttons
AGyro
Agyro, rgb, back buttons, front buttons
ABut basic controls all work fine on LGo
COh, right
Athen all the vendor functions
CBut the tablet portion I've heard worked OOTB
ALGO controller is xpad, no?
