Way too cultured

The primary issues that I faced with Windows (Win10 nearly a decade ago) are

• very slow updates
• constant 100% disk usage after boot
• high background process usage
• [Rare] messing with my dual partition setup
• The final error which caused me to format my PC -> After logging in, the desktop froze, no icons showing up, no task manager.

If I had never used Linux, these wouldn’t even seem like problem; just normal Windows shenanigans. But after using Linux, I can never go back. I don’t know how much worse/better Win11 is now but can’t be bothered to try.

What’s even more funny is that they already have two, somewhat decent, interfaces which are meant for touch; Win8 tablet UI and Windows Phone Live Tiles UI.

If they want, they can easily work upon them, make them controller-friendly, and bake it into Win11. But they are too stubborn to do it.

Talk about digging one’s own grave.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface

For most people, i think it’s just that it has a good UI. They don’t bother whether it’s linux-powered. Maybe it’s possible to create a good UI in windows as well, but it will be bogged down by 100s of unwanted processes.

I see

• linux
• gaming
• valve

I buy

Some games will refuse to work on Linux but their Android port might work. If Valve can make this process seamless, it could be a gamechanger. Example, Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves etc

Teferric pun!

I’m sure Microsoft’s answer will be an Edge-powered handheld interface with the entire W11 OS underneath.

Looks like I really need to check gyro aiming.

You could also attach a keyboard and mouse, though I think that that kind of eliminates the point of the Deck, at least as long as one also has a PC to play on – it might make sense for someone who just uses a Deck and a phone.

In the worst case, i’ll buy a dock and play the FPS games via M/K. I am slowing getting better at slow third person games. Racing and platformers are not an issue. Other than FPS, the Steam Deck is very nice.

On a controller, if you’re slightly off center, suddenly it isn’t as simple, because the joystick is overly sensitive and so to move 1cm is a lighting fast action input, meaning that you’re almost guaranteed to overshoot it, unless your joystick sensitivity is super low.

This has been the biggest problem for me. I can’t aim at the enemies when are very far (small hitbox). I have been trying to strafe and put them on my crosshair but it needs a very different skill. I have been hearing a lot of people talking about FlickStick. I have to look it up.

Microsoft: So, what are you going to do about it? Stop using Windows? Hah!

Thanks! I’ll try to understand the concept of deadzone. I have Minecraft, this should be perfect!

Nice, I have both the Superhots. Begin the install!!

I am currently playing Stray which doesn’t require fast movement. It’s slightly helping me ease into 3D movements.

It’s like coming from gamepad to arcade sticks, when playing fighting games

I’d maybe argue that this jump is not so severe but I get your point. I’ll try Doom though. I saw a couple of Doom 1-inspired games this year. I can try those.

Actually I find it exciting to learn new stuff like this and am a little bit jealous

I am enjoying the process but sometimes it’s a bit frustrating. Certain scenarios which I know are super easy on PC are a struggle. Hitting far-away targets on Risk of Rain 2, which i just flick and shoot on PC, are too difficult :(

I will keep up the grind through.
