Think they will support the Chinese pc handhelds like ayaneo and gpd?

JI am genuienly interested in a next gen LGO, I want a bigger screen for when I travel
VThey haven't even mentioned lenovo yet
Aat least for GPD, there's not much else that needs to be done for baseline functionality
AI like LGO. I picked one up again now its discounted
Aayaneo,well....
VApparently next LGO will be a mini
Next gen big LGO would be awesole
Next gen big LGO would be awesole
Aalso I collect these things because I am a tech idiot
JI mean, I could be sold on a mini
Aayaneo has issues with linux compatibility, so probably not
JA decky plug-in for TDP control if it doesn’t work ootb is all you would really need, and maybe handheld daemon
ALegion Go size is its appeal. Its screen res less so
A1080p wouldve been nice, but I know they just used their tablet screen so I get why
Myou don’t need a plugin if it’s made by valve
MYou just add support
VIt's 1600p what do you mean
AGPD controllers are a standard xbox controller, so it's fully usable with regular SteamOS. Even has an actual Xbox/Guide button.
tbh the only thing Valve would need to add is TDP + GPU controls, then it'd be ready for GPD devices

AI mean I like it lower than 1600p
Awell, i guess maybe the power button handler too
Abut that's basically it for GPD
JValve would probably have generic support for stuff like the 6800u/7840u no?
Aayaneo has issues, you need to hack the bios to get suspend
Aand has proprietary sound firmware issues
Ait will honestly depend on the device and brand, some devices will fare better than others
Ae.g. GPD would work fairly well
Aayaneo would be bad
Aayn loki would be decent depending on the model
JIf they’re supported the rog ally with custom fixes seems like they’d probably do device specific fixes if it is a popular enough handheld like the ally, legion
Anote that the ROG Ally fixes in the changelog are just stuff they imported from the upstream linux kernel, nothing custom from Valve yet
JOnexplayer, gpd, and ayaneo are basically the only other notable manufacturers except maybe Msi but they suck
Lsorry 4 repost didnt get a response earlier. anyone running to issues with integer scaling specifically on this patch? i rebase to bazzite-dc:stable and it works normally but when on regular stable it scaling native res like im running a 4:3res on 1600p. but its native. on a legion go if makes any diff and running 800p is a even smaller scaled screen
Atbh i suspect valve will support ROG Ally and LGO first, simply because they're available at retail in the US
MI also don’t think valve will add support out of the kindness of their hearts, it’s most likely if a manufacturer(s) ponies up some sort of fee to make it happen. unless they just go straight to wide release.
Mor I guess they just offer it separate and not as a shipping option but then you have to on-ramp users to Linux which isn’t ideal
CMaybe it'll be a recovery option
Ayou say that, but valve have huge reasons to work on it for other handhelds
A30% xD
CThey're already getting that 30% on those handhelds
KThat 30% they're collecting regardless of what OS the handheld is running though
KUnless you're going to tell me you buy games on epic
KLike some kind of unicorn
CUnfortunately Steam is too good
Aoh ofc but more focus on steam is good for them
Jman I would totally be like "pricing is based on how linux friendly your shit is, so you better learn how to linux really quick because Imma charge you money."
Athey've wanted to attack windows for ages too
CI bought Ubisoft games on Epic, when they had the chain coupon thing that let you buy them for 5 bucks a pop
Atbh I think Valve's window of opportunity to get SteamOS on other handhelds is slowly disappearing.
other manufacturers are now heavily investing in Windows GUIs, Microsoft also probably isn't sitting still, and you have other options like Playtron slowly being worked on in the background

CThe gold editions and stuff
Jlet's see if verge hearts me back
AI want them to ignore now ;p
