I'm lucky cuz I only needed 50 mg of it.

It's not terribly important because steam can make their own drivers and update them but they have to usually have a working driver to start from or good documentation from Qualcomm. Patching bugs isn't all that difficult even with binaries.
I think you would only be using this for either games designed for VR or older games, and also be using FSR and frame gen. This is actually a perfect use case for those.
You can also stream games wirelessly from your PC which is another cool feature. That is how most people will probably use it. The native running of apps is just a cool bonus for people I guess.
If it's not too expensive I might get one and get my daughters one. Probably a very cool little device.
Proton also doesn't add much overhead and in many cases it can run games faster then windows, especially if it's not debloated and very lean windows. Games that use modern rendering backends like Vulcan only need CPU translation. The CPU is pretty fast on this device, but it's only going to be good for certain things. You could definitely play Minecraft and older titles, like space engineers and stuff.
Be looks cool af, like if a cbr1000 was a bee.
Oh well I guess I don't like China anymore.
Up to 90-120hz is pretty nice. That's the sweet spot for me. I'm not into esports and also I'm an environmentalist so 240hz and 360 hz monitors just seem really excessive to me since you need hundreds of watts of power to push those frame rates. I usually run like 75 hz on my steamdeck or other lower power devices.
It's likely because of valve needing Linux support. I'm surprised they even got Qualcomm to agree to give them drivers for that chip.
It's about 30% faster than the quest GPU wise or similar to a 1050 in shader performance, a bit behind a 1050 on some other things.
It will probably be playing PC games at 720 to 1080p, upscaled and framengend to 4k at 90hz. That's not terrible considering the power usage of the device. It has to run off of batteries. If it's much over $500 it won't be a huge hit, if it's 650 or less, then it will likely become the best choice for VR but not break into the mainstream. The steam machine, if it can hit $500 would be very popular, although $500 is not really a lot of money these days with all the inflation.
The irony is that you don't know anything about economics.
I'm in the U.S but some states have extra taxes and stuff. I'm in a poorer part of the U.S
Just be a little trans when you can until you are in a position to do more. I started out with a hidden backpack a few years before I transitioned.
Hell yeah, tactical femboy! I have a few guns, an arming sword, some reproduction armor, a Templar dagger, a switchblade, and will probably get some thermal goggles when I have some extra cash to spend one day.
I also have a semi complete set of tools, a Linux phone, a tool bag backpack, a 30 wh battery bank with built in solar panel, and some other stuff. Don't have to be a serf just because you are trans!
