My name is Matt. I enjoy helping people with technology related issues. I also like adorable animals.
O! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.

That’s fair, I left that very open ended.
I didn’t mean it in a “This is bad, I think they need a sequel” way. I more meant it in a “This is Ubisoft and committing to 10 years on anything seems impossible” way.
I definitely like the Siege development team, they consistently have pretty solid updates and balancing choices to address issues in the game.
What’s funny is that in the last year Google has de-googlefied my life more than I have.
Android, Gmail, Google Podcasts, and Domains were the remaining services I use of theirs.
Now I guess it’s just Android and Gmail.
Bummed about Google Domains / Site analytics, I really enjoyed how straightforward it was.
You’ll be able to play any game that can be run on Proton (Valve’s Linux compatibility layer). Technically, you can install windows on the deck and then run anything on that, but that’s not supported out of the box.
You can look at a list here for what Steam labels as “Deck Verified” https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified
Additionally, you can look on protondb which is similar to the above, but takes input from users and may have additional notes on compatibility: https://www.protondb.com/explore?selectedFilters=whitelisted
Performance and battery life will depend on the game, but there’s a ton of videos and benchmarks if there’s a particular game you’re curious about.
Same sentiment - I’ve been looking at some alternatives like the Legion Go or Asus’s variant and putting SteamOS on it - but I’d really rather stick with Valve’s own hardware if possible.
