While this would be great, it’s also a little unfortunate, since the general desktop experience on Steam Deck is IIRC currently a bit below other comparable distros, and I’d hate for people to get an incomplete picture of what the Linux desktop experience can be like. Hopefully the time that’s led up to the wider release of SteamOS has been spent on getting that desktop experience up to snuff.

For everyone seeing this post on /all and trying to engage in good faith, remember that this is a .ml community.

The Lemmy devs are outspoken tankies, so I’d understand why people would be reluctant to work directly with them.

That’s fair. More 9070 XTs for me!

I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.
