For now it’ll also include AI-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Why do none of these have trackpads? Also I really don't understand why staggered joysticks are the standard.
SteamOS is definitely a step in the right direction, but the layout still looks not quite as good as the steam deck.
Maybe they're trying to aim for the crowd for whom the Deck is too expensive, and shaving off some of the hardware helps?
I mean, it does sound like a significant drawback, but if you gotta get the cost down, I suppose that's one thing to look at.
I've never once used the trackpad outside of desktop mode and even then it had limited use cases. What do other people use them for?
They're essential for Factorio, the factory must grow!
