@mrcippy How's that steam deck going. Can you give me a resolution comparison? I know it's 720p, but what does it feel like in relation to a desktop? 1080p, 1440p, 4k? I figure because of it's size and distance from your (stupid) face it has to feel higher than 720p.
@obi big dumb face is my preferred name.
It depends on the game and graphics settings. There are times you feel like it’s 1080+, other times it’s worse than 720. I need to spend more time tweaking. There’s a really big wiki on optimizing windows 11 for it. I may do that.
@mrcippy Interesting. Let me know if you find and important optimizations that worked for you. Possibly getting one for my son.
@obi Nice!
I think you just have to experiment with every game. God of War is advertised as optimized, but you launch it and it looks horrible. I found some settings on Reddit that make it look freaking great.
Here’s the W11 guide. It assumes you’re unofficially dual booting it. I’m currently running W10 on microSD and plan on doing that for now. But the rest of the guide should apply. There’s… a lot https://github.com/baldsealion/Steamdeck-Ultimate-Windows11-Guide
@mrcippy Ahhhh. The same reason my gaming computer isn't running Linux. Anticheat is a bitch.
@obi There’s ways around some of it, aka Lutris or Heroic, but they’re clunky at best.
@mrcippy Yeah, I have tried them all over the years. The only anticheat I was able to get around was Realm Royale on Linux. Fortnite, etc. still was a no go.
@obi it’s kernel based, and there’s no faking that.
@mrcippy KVMs have come a long way. That is a pretty good solution for me if i want to know. They were clunky in the past.
@obi yea, but that’s why you install windows. Anticheat is what stops most games from working. Like Fall Guys or Fortnite on Steam OS because Linux doesn’t support it. But windows does. I’m really tempted to forget SteamOS altogether.
