I love how hackable they made the Steam Deck, you can easily find replacement parts as well. I even remember someone got an external graphics card working on one by using the NVME slot and an adapter to connect it. Of course, that kinda defeats the whole purpose of the Steam Deck lol

- Gigachad 4y agoValve is one of the few companies I don't feel is egregiously cashing in on their market monopoly store fees. The amount of value they give back is astounding. I remember buying a logitech racing wheel and finding it didn't work on linux, when I looked it up I saw a valve employee on the linux mailing list with a patch ready to merge to fix it. And then there is the incredible work done on Proton. I couldn't have imagined the future of gaming on linux was that Wine would be improved so much you couldn't tell it was being used.. At the time everyone figured you just had to complain in the game forums for a linux version and eventually it would work.
