Same! I love the steamdeck and think it’s almost perfect. So I’ll just wait for the next one to upgrade. I’d probably just upgrade to show support for the project.
Pre-configured hardware with pre-installed Linux is the best way to expand. The technical side of driver support and gaming support is solved already (besides one specific kind of games, but thats another topic for another day). The biggest hurdle for people is to try Linux and set it up themselves. Only a few nerds go this far. It’s amazing right now!
i won’t be buying one, but if it grows linux popularity i’m all for it!

But firstly, I’m happy to see Linux growing.

It’s Valve so I’m calling it now. There will be a Steam Deck 2. It wil be awesome.
There will be no Steam Deck 3. The market will take over and Valve will lose interest after the innovation is finished.
After Steam Deck 2, there will be Steam Deck 2 Episode 1.
I can see valve pulling out once steamos/ linux has become a major OS. That’s kind of their goal it seems.
