You do realize that Reddit has become a place where people go in general to get more into things? And I literally just mentioned a neurological disease… fun fact, I’m starting to drool a lot lately uncontrollably.

You seem more upset that I’m criticizing Valve then realizing that “yeah, Valve even phased out the model themselves, if it was about enthusiasts, they would’ve kept it in stock at a lower price”

The whole point of the 64gb deck was to avoid having an expensive starting point, you all decided to bring the narrative to it that it’s for ✨enthusiasts✨when that’s hardly a decent sized market at all.

And sorry for having valid criticism about Linux? It’s still not there yet, and without going to the terminal you can’t do certain things still. The Discover store saves stuff on internal storage whether you like it or not and in my case, inefficiently installed files for software when that’s not a problem in Windows and MacOS

The community can’t be like “yeah! Valve is improving Linux!” then get upset that it’s not perfect to some people… what the fuck are they improving if there isn’t problems? The fact that you’re getting all weird and triggered by it makes me done here, clearly this is a biased conversation and you lack the understanding to try to view things outside of your established opinions.

I bought it because of misinformation, I didn’t even know they just stuck a 64gb ssd in there because someone told me it was on the board, and with all the “just get the 64gb deck and upgrade it” posts and replies I got swayed into doing it. I can’t really blame myself when life just happens, it’s not like I snapped my fingers and activated some neurological disease that made my lower half lose feeling after buying the Deck.

My fault or not, nothing changes that it was pretty stupid to come out with to begin with. It’s wasteful if that was the expectation for people, what would I even be able to do with a 64gb 2230 ssd after I take it out? I buy Apple products, but even I will be like “wtf Apple” if they announce more 64gb base iPads and iPad Airs. 128gb min would have been great on a device that still kinda suffers from being based on Linux, storage wise.

I’m only caseless because I have Apple care. I got a crack, but I’ll just get it replaced before I trade it in for a 16 pro max.

Caseless and no insurance is wild though, AC+ is the golden excuse to go caseless

I don’t see Apple going too deep into generative work considering the current murky legalities so I wonder how they’re going to do it in their Apple way.
