i wonder if more high end handhelds will ship with linux
thought the steam deck would trigger a wave of such but... didnt quite happen

EEsauFtgz i wonder if more high end handhelds will ship with linux thought the steam deck ...

It's valves fault tbh

Aru•7/20/24, 3:26 PM

They still haven't publicly shipped SteamOS

Crono•7/20/24, 3:26 PM

Some say they're waiting on NVK

EsauFtgzOP•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

is steamOS that instrinsically tied to the hardware?

Crono•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

Not really, just quirky

EEsauFtgz is steamOS that instrinsically tied to the hardware?

Aru•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

It has some hard coded stuff for the deck

Aru•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

So sort of?

CCrono Some say they're waiting on NVK

antheas•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

since i added support to other handhelds i can tell you

antheas•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

it will never arrive for third party handhelds

Aru•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

Though we've seen changes from Valve that's gradually removing the hard coded stuff

antheas•7/20/24, 3:27 PM

unless there is an official agreement between manufacturers

antheas•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

and valve

antheas•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

its just not there yet

antheas•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

any device that has been released with windows support can not have steamos pretty much

Crono•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

Fair enough, you need vendor support

antheas•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

because the controller doesnt work correctly in linux

Crono•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

Even the Legion GO?

Aru•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

They can, it'll just be semi-broken

Aru•7/20/24, 3:28 PM

Like you'll be missing a few buttons

antheas•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

especially the legion go

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

Like back buttons

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

Gyro

antheas•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

gyro, rgb, back buttons, front buttons

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

But basic controls all work fine on LGo

Crono•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

Oh, right

antheas•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

then all the vendor functions

Crono•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

But the tablet portion I've heard worked OOTB

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

LGO controller is xpad, no?

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

It should be fine

antheas•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

yes it is, thats why it cant be supported properly

antheas•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

steam will not be able to fully read it

Aru•7/20/24, 3:29 PM

You just won't have any extra buttons ootb

antheas•7/20/24, 3:30 PM

you cant ship an OS and call it support if half of the buttons dont work

Aru•7/20/24, 3:30 PM

But yeah, as is, it won't be 100% support. It'd be at a bare minimum baseline on the LGO

Crono•7/20/24, 3:30 PM

In fairness the LGO controllers are very wacky

Aru•7/20/24, 3:30 PM

Having a full functioning Xbox controller equivalent is baseline good enough

EsauFtgzOP•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

everytime i look at the LGO controllers i get more confused

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

but we gotten to a point they work so well now you dont even notice

Aru•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

But note the LGO has much better Linux support ootb than most other handhelds

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

I think thats great

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

tbh ally only required 2 patches now

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

and the original too

Aru•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

Well, that's assuming hhd is included

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

just a quirk for controller suspend and a speaker patch

Aantheas but we gotten to a point they work so well now you dont even notice

antheas•7/20/24, 3:31 PM

i mean isnt that the case for all devices?

Aru•7/20/24, 3:32 PM

I'm assuming SteamOS wouldn't ship with hhd

antheas•7/20/24, 3:32 PM

thats why steamos cant ship

Crono•7/20/24, 3:32 PM

Could they though?

Crono•7/20/24, 3:32 PM

What's the license?
