Acant get rest over here
Kmanjaro...
K
VGaming edition targeting more hardware huh?
KIf they aren't paying you, just redirect them to /dev/null and sleep
Ai dont, maybe
KSteamOS is apparently coming to ROG Ally soon too
KI wouldn't switch (cause Bazzite has WAY more desktop functionality) but neat to hear.
VSee, your mistake is you fell for Valve saying "soon"
KI mean, when they actually say they're doing something it doesn't take forever
KHL3 has never actually been announced
CNow are they doing it, or looking into it? If it's the latter, the only thing they're looking into is their wallet to see if it'd make a profit
Viirc they've mentioned SteamOS for other devices since day one. It's been three years.
DMy wifi adaptor for reference: Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7921 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
VBig picture being replaced by game mode also took a year, that was a day 0 promise.
KThe Verge
Dual boot is still on the menu, too.
Kthis was more recent.
VOk, I know, point is it already has been forever.
VAnd it probably will continue to take a long time.
Bit's only been one quarter of a valve forever
Bso long as they only have two things to do it will get done
Bif there are three things...
V"They said it though" only works when the same person didn't say the same thing in an interview literal years ago
Kwho knows, I don't own a ROG Ally, but we'll see. It's making it into their beta release notes now at least
KIt's honestly all gravy, Valve certainly have zero obligation to release SteamOS for anything but Steam Deck
BI think they've made some very good strategic moves against microsoft dominance
Bthe newest problem is gamepass
KI just wish they wouldn't cater to dual boot windows-loving cowards.
Kbut they are 
Band the worst is that people don't even SEE how gamepass is a problem
VThey kinda don't
FHello, I’m new
VThey offer kinda shitty drivers, without a full set of drivers for the OLED
KThey specifically said they're looking to improve support for windows and dualboot
VThe installer doesn't have any partitioning options
Kin the same interview
AI think everyone is jumping to conclusions by saying it'll be released "soon"
Kwhich I think is wrong and terrible
AValve never said they're releasing soon, only that they're working on it
VAgain, a "dual boot" wizard has been a concept as long as the steam deck recovery image has been downloadable...
Kbut I am firmly anti dual boot, vehemently so 
Bhow about vfio VMs then
Ka pain in the arse
Bif you can't have two sibling OSes, have a daddy OS and a kiddy OS
Kand still involves using Windows.
Kwhich supports Microsoft
AI don't care for dual boot, but it's the easiest way to convince people to try it, since it's mostly risk free
Kultimately
VSteamOS 3 proper will come out sometime after launch (and even then it may not work on your toaster).On the SteamOS install page from early 2022. But it's coming soon!
KI know, I'm just fanatically anti windows
