Oooh, looks cool ! I was just googling for something like "pc with steamdeck like specs" because I don't need the portability, I can't stand fan noise but I'd like Steam's ease of use. Now there is a path to a "normal"/quiet/dedicated PC to easily run games. But I suppose there won't be optimizations for any combinations of GPU/CPU/RAM like Valve and AMD do for the Steamdeck ?
Also:
> - Comes with patches from SteamOS BTRFS for full BTRFS support for the SD card by default.
Interesting, what advantages does BTRFS bring in gaming/steamdeck scenarios ?
> Btrfs with its transparent compression and deduplication capabilities can achieve impressive storage gains but also improve loading times because of less data being read. It also supports instant snapshotting which is very useful to roll back to a previous state.
I guess it's for easier rollbacks on the system and maybe rollback different versions of the same game ?
