The SteamOS 3.6 preview is here and there are many updates and changes for our favorite gaming OS. But what's the deal with the addition of HDMI CEC remote input? I feel like that could be hinting at new console hardware. But I'd love your thoughts.

@@Vote.ReformUK thats definitely a subjective opinion, considering first party of switch “not good” sounds like a “me” issue more than anything. Odyssey worked for a lot of people (very creative game) and botw definitely paved the future of a lot of open world games (aka elden ring for example, which mainly got inspired by botw, totk also has some of the craziest designed mechanics in any videogame), switch first party was great in my opinion compared to the wii era which was awful (on par with the wii u though).

I'd say they've successfully identified the flaws of the steam machine 1.0 and a console is a real possibility at this point. I think Sony and Microsoft are both seeing the dollar signs in handheld demand and Valve is realizing the gaps between what they've failed at and what's going to grow the brand even further. I've always loved "mid" tier hardware and it's capability. The fact that Microsoft, Nintendo and Valve all have catered to it makes me think its a permanent fixture. This is fantasic, IMHO.

everyone's talking about a console, but besides a bit of TV QOL features (e.g. power on from controller, getting their damn dock working on everyone's TVs, etc), I'm not sure what I'd want out of a console that I don't already have out of the deck. however I'd be quite interested to hear what people think the advantages would be. I might also agree with them if I know what they are. If it's console exclusives, then eff that. it'd be exactly the opposite of what I want out of valve's ecosystem. If it's beefier hardware, then - well, okay I can get behind that!

The Steam Deck is already affordable, I imagine they could make this extremely affordable to the point that people with a current gen console might still buy one as it allowed them to play lots of party games and indie games they otherwise wouldn't have access too.

@@DustoMan I figured, I just disable all CEC for my game systems and manually set to the supported resolutions, refresh rate, color gamut and more.

@@playnicegames yea makes sense. I have a harmony remote and all that CEC stuff can mess with the automations I have set.

@logicalfundy Ай бұрын

Hard to say how much CEC foreshadows a console - CEC support is great for a dockable device. With my Switch, if I have it turned on when I dock it, my TV automatically wakes up and goes to the correct input. It's a great quality of life measure. It should be noted that various CEC features may vary between TV manufacturers.

Still waiting for steam os come to desktop PCs. Before windows 10 is fully retired. Cus we all know that date is slowly getting closer. And hopefully will support GTX/RTX GPUs. But suspect that prob never happen Cus how anti comsumers Nvidia is and they don’t like Linux.

The Nvidia situation should be quickly improving now btw! Mesa 24.1 includes NVK - a full Vulkan driver for modern Nvidia cards. It was written independently, is fully FOSS and it's going to "just work" on Turing+ cards.

Oh, and unless you're _only_ gonna game or browse the web, you should pick a bit more 'general purpose' OS. Also, Bazzite already seems to be a better version of SteamOS, so your should probably check that out.

@@mskiptr Thanks for the info. But yeah I’m still on pascal. GTX 1080ti. Haven’t bothered upgrade Cus prices here Canada are still insane for new or used. Looked at 3090 and here they going for more then new 4080, 3090 here is anywhere $2200 Canadian to $2500 + LOL WTF? 4080 here is $1800+ Canadian last I checked. Look at 6900xt. They still going $1000 or more. 6950xt about same $1000 to $1200 or more. Yeah still running duel boot Win10/older win 7 haven’t bother remove yet. Left win7 for now Cus waiting see what happens with steam os. So haven’t formatted win7 form yet. But mostly playing older pc game. Mostly like ATS/ETS, or starcraft 2. Not playing anything new. Got ps5 for anything new. Yes I hear that there is a few disro that close to steam os (game mode) feel. Last time tried ubuntu (was around 2019/20). Couldn’t get my onboard audio from x470 motherboard to work. Also tried haloISO, that was buggy as heck. Half time couldn’t even boot desktop mode. Cus bad GTX drivers. Pop up menu to reboot/shutdown/boot desktop didn’t work Cus buggy gtx/RTX drivers. I know if had AMD gpu would prob be fine most Linux distro. But good hear Linux drivers for Nvidia is getting bit better. Hear Linux Mint is also good choice. But haven’t tired. Just been waiting see what happens with stems os but thanks for info. May check it out someday.

@@SireDragonChester Yeah, Pascal and Maxwell are sadly in the worst spot. Too new for unsigned firmware and the earlier hacks, yet too old for GSP. It's stuck with the proprietary drivers for the time being. Hopefully the 550 beta release lives up to the promises and fixes its Wayland issues. I really hope the GPU prices become less insane. Especially with Intel entering the market. You can also try looking for very old cards like Kepler. It's the last generation with pretty decent FOSS OpenGL support and will hopefully also be supported by NVK at some point. [1/2]

@@SireDragonChester As for distros, Mint and Pop_OS are a really decent first choice. If you're relatively tech savvy, you can also look into things like Fedora KDE, OpenSUSE or Debian. Personally I would avoid Ubuntu, though it's not _that_ big of a deal anyway. I also really like Arch, Alpine and Guix. They are very interesting (and quite nice), but I frankly cannot recommend them as a starting point (unless you're a very specific kind of person). [2/2]
