I still don't get ya. Who cares what the underlying OS is?

It's a simple statement dude lol.

Why? What has understanding the technology got to do with playing games?
OkChicken7697 t1_iqstoto wrote
Because in order to use the steam deck you require an understanding of technology, whereas the switch, you turn it on, and you can begin playing immediately.

That's really not the case.
OkChicken7697 t1_iqsv687 wrote
How?
stewrogers t1_iqswpfa wrote
There's all the faffing about of setting up user accounts and installing updates on a switch, like most other devices.
OkChicken7697 t1_iqt86j6 wrote
Yeah, the steam deck is much much much worse than that.

Then what's the point. Just buy a gaming laptop.
OkChicken7697 t1_iqtb427 wrote
Because it is handheld and all of it's resources are focused on gaming.

Just saw this thread and had to comment. Steam deck can be as easy as a switch. Sure, if you want to play games outside of steam it takes a little work, nothing a YouTube video can’t enable a monkey to do though. I agree with the other guy, but for a different reason. You really don’t have to be ‘good with tech’ to play a deck, just like you don’t have to be ‘good with cars’ to do standard maintenance. Watch a quick video, easy as 1-2-3.
Or just play the crazy amount of games steam had compatible and require 0 extra work at all.

I think you are overestimating the vast majority of peoples intelligence.

If anything I’m overestimating their motivation or ability to put forth any effort. Again, it doesn’t take many brain cells to watch a YouTube video and copy what they do, though I think most people would care less and just play steam games like I said, which is what the deck was technically made for and requires little to no effort to do.
