I am starting to get realy nervous about the steam deck. Although, in every single marketing material, they say it's a "linux PC", I have not seen a single frame of the OS. I have not seen the terminal, and I have not heard a single line confirming, there will be an easy access to non-steam applications. (unless the OS is changed. That option had been confirmed.)

@lewdthewides
That is actually the option I am afraid of.
I don't need yet another dumb console. If the Deck is going to be just another dumb console, then why even bother?

@lewdthewides
No, I already have a Switch.
The avaiable software makes all the difference.
Switch can be an amazing peace of hardware, but software is so retarded, I cannot even play online.

Same goes for switch. Amazing hardware, but can I watch movies and browse the net?

Watching my friend's kids get set up to play multiplayer in some Lego game on their PS4 and they had to sign in the controller on a separate account then choose the same game to launch the account into. Then the game crashed on a loading screen. Fucking astonishing.

They couldn't understand why I was amazed by a console game crashing and the login system. I always thought consoles were getting easier to use, but they've become more bloated and complicated since the PS3.
