I’m curious how viable Valve’s OS (starting with Steam Deck) will be long term for PC gaming. If it gains traction and adheres to its current ideology it may make PC gaming easier, more of a set it and forget it solution.

Yes, a lot of the times it comes down to software. Some games like Warzone are constantly being updated, that means that the latest driver from Nvidia may not be fully compatible so that creates issues by itself. Or the latest driver from a game changes your settings so you have to go back and change them to what they used to be.



Im a bit skeptical about the Steam Deck, the main ones being cooling, repair-ability, and battery degradation if you're to play demanding tittles constantly, thought mitigated by a FPS limiter option.

Reminds me of the PSP or PS Vita, that were pretty great for their time, but the lack of support for games and horrible battery life were their doom. Kind of funny how handheld mini consoles have made a comeback.
