It's been three years today since Valve released the Steam Deck. Not only has Valve shown how incredible Linux actually can be as a gaming platform, but they really kicked the industry into gear on PC gaming handhelds.
I dreamed of a handheld computer so long that just had the fucking screen and gamepad connected like the game boy. I thought shit why isn’t it done we have the technology! But it was because of the Linux system and valves own incredible work on making games work on Proton and it’s a truly monumental paradigm shift that I support in every way
I like that now games try to fitt within the capabilities of handhelds, which I see as a win-win situation. Games focused on gameplay rather than aesthetics and better optimization for games.
