One minor but glaring thing for me is it’s really challenging to connect to any Wi-Fi (hotel, airplane) that requires accessing a webpage to acknowledge T & Cs. This seems like a core use case.
- jeroenhd 4y agoI was in a situation where my WiFi hotspot died and I couldn't launch any new games because I didn't have internet. The offline mode button didn't work because... I didn't have internet. That's an inexcusable problem for a device supposedly designed to be used on the go. I can live with (and grumble at) not being able to get into hotel WiFi without switching to desktop mode (which in itself is an amazing feature on a console-like) but there are still bad problems that need fixing. Luckily, the Deck team is still pushing out patches, fixes, and features quite quickly so I have faith these problems will be resolved in the future. Competing manufacturers seem to slow down their update cycle significantly once a device has hit the market but Valve is doing well.
- flatiron 4y agoswitch to desktop mode, connect to wifi, kde should either give you a pop-up or you can just agree to the T&C from a browser. you can even setup the browser to launch directly from game mode, i never did this though so can't walk you through.
- ojbyrne 4y agoWhen I did that, KDE did not give me a popup, and also there's no browser installed. Had to install Firefox over a phone hotspot. Not a great experience.
