Its my toy and you can’t change my mind.

You suggested Kubuntu which is KDE. which will be way to slow for them. I never suggested Gnome… 🧐

Xfce or lxde would be way better, like others have suggested.

They want a desktop, not a slideshow.

Yeah i like it that i can play the game on the highest quality and it makes the steam deck less hot and the battery last waaaaay longer :)

I also have it connected to my tv a lot so i can play pc games in 4k on the couch.

I also tend to switch between the steam deck and pc multiple times in a day, so having everything on one system is really nice.

Games like vampire survivor, emulators, bind of isaac, olders games etc, i play on the steam deck directly. But having immediate access to my xbox games pass library is also really nice ^^

Honestly non at all. I even took a video once with my phone of my steam deck screen next to the pc monitor and the frames were perfectly in sync. The input feels native and i have zero latency with that. I remember years ago it indeed wasn’t that good. But nowadays its so perfect!

I even play competitive counter strike that way.

The stats show around 1ms. And that is network and decoding combined.

As long as you are at home, its indistinguishable from directly plugging in a mouse+keyboard and monitor.

I use moonlight to stream my pc to my steam deck. It automatically sets the resolution and refresh rate when i connect. It amazing.

I’ve been playing red dead redemption 2 and i just finished crime scene cleaner yesterday. and as always, genshin impact.

I dont know if this is the issue, but is your motherboard bios up to date? I had some weird error like this before and after updating my bios it worked.

I can barely afford rent :( I don’t mind kids just playing etc. We have a big green field outside where kids play all day and its no problem. But there is a family a few houses down with kids that just scream. Not even laughing really. Just pure high pitched screaming. Fighting with eachother and screaming. And they will do that until 10-11pm in the weekends.

My autism just make the experience a 100x worse.

Completely agree. I hate heat with a passion. My 2 biggest annoyances are lawn mowers being loud and neighbors outside all day with kids that scream their fucking lungs out. Just high pitched fucking screaming for hours on end.

I know i used to play outside when i was little, but never did i yell and scream uncontrollably for fucking hours, driving anyone in a 200 meter radius fucking insane. Sorry i just don’t get it.

Edit: im sorry if i sound like a boomer. Im autistic and the screaming is giving me a fight of flight reaction. Often i don’t care. But a family 2 houses down screams sooooo loud. Not even laughing or anything. Just pure high pitched screaming. And they will go on until 10pm or so every day if the sun shines.

I use noise canceling earphones but i can’t and don’t want to wear those all day long.

What a strange design. Why the keyboard instead of how the steam deck does it? I never even use the touch screen. I type by selecting the letters with the dpad. Its… strange. Also no trackpads. I mean some people could like it? It just looks a bit fucked. Like someone glued their kids tablet to a controller/keyboard abomination from aliexpress.
