Steam Deck as a laptop replacement?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. With the repairability of the steam deck and the power available to it, it seems like a no brainer to use it for a bit of school work or casual browsing, Discord etc. Like you would a normal desktop....
[News] Gamescope added support for ReShade shaders on Linux / SteamOS ( www.gamingonlinux.com )
The documentation for Gamescope has now been updated to note it supports a “subset of Reshade effects/shaders” and so this provides an easy way to layer “shader effects (ie.

[Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck?

[Game] ‘Starfield’ Steam Deck review in progress - "good in some parts but struggles in cities" ( toucharcade.com )
“After dozens of hours on just Steam Deck, Starfield feels good in some parts, but really struggles in the bigger cities. Turning everything to low and enabling FSR2 is basically the only way to play it right now on Valve’s handheld, and even that drops to 20fps often in the first major city (New Atlantis). The game itself...
How’s everyone enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3 so far?
I’m using medium settings with a few (clouds, fog) low ones. FSR is off for now, I did test it briefly on Ultra Quality and did not really notice any blurrong )though it was a brief test) The FPS I’m getting is mostly above 30 but varies a lot inbetween 25-40 (40 is my refresh rate cap)....
