Valve when they opened pre-orders for the Steam Deck

I remember when that was the valve servers on any day of the week ending in "Y".
Good old green design. I miss the Counter Strike 1.6 days.

The deck has the oldschool green design as a keyboard overlay style, and you can use Decky and CSS Loader to mod the rest of steam to look like that, and you can even find KDE themes that look like that.

I am actually using the keyboard skin. Not sure if I am going to mod the rest, because its prone to break each update. But thanks for letting me know

Not to take anything away from the Steam Deck, it’s a very cool piece of hardware, but the Switch 2 beat its lifetime sales in what?
I'm pretty sure they're doing OK with regards to percentage of units sold/manufactured, especially given they are not doing a worldwide release, and are selling direct to consumer instead of to stores.

If you don't want everything resetting on update, you could always switch over to Bazzite, its got a GNOME and KDE flavor for the Deck/Handhelds' desktop modes, helps you setup Decky and other stuff in a pretty automated way.
=D

Weirdly so is Nintendo these days.
In any case I'm not sure what "percentage of units sold/manufactured" implies there. Everybody has some stock of their products. Selling through your stock isn't much of a metric unless you're doing limited runs on purpose. If Valve was selling these faster they'd manufacture them faster.

I don't think they can manufacture them fast enough to keep up with demand, that's my point.
I wouldn't know if they are available to buy now, since they aren't sold in my region, wheras the switch is. Lemme check for switch 2...
It's not on LATAM Amazon, but it is available for pre-order off "gamestop". Steam deck is available off LATAM Amazon, but it is a weird on demand import kinda dealie, which is fairly common for some goods down here.
️The point is that their sales methods are apples and oranges, and trying to paint one as successful with the metrics of the other is unproductive. You can say that the switch/switch 2 sold more units than the steam deck, but then you can also say the steam deck sold more games in that time period, since steam probably sells more games in any given time period over the switch digital store, or that the steam deck can run more games.
Both are moot points when comparing them to each other.

I don't even think I can put into words how much I would not buy a system that can be bricked remotely by the company I bought it from.
