    Since FrankZ is mostly no show this time, I guess me and Dustin are gonna be the top competitors for the Gaming PC, atleast for the next few days.

    You are probably winning the gaming pc :lol:

    Win the gaming PC and use it to win next year giveaway.

    LOL! Next year's gonna be crazier than this year. Next year maybe, Dustin should consider a handheld rather than a full ATX gaming PC. Might be cheaper and easier to transport.

    I read this as you asking for a steamdeck 2 (if it's out by then)

    Steam deck 2 will not come out next year I think but it is valve so who knows

    Indiegogo companies seem to be doing a good job as well, but, most of them are Chinese.

    But steamdeck is best

    Not a bad idea! What model is the go to?

    The OLED version is strictly better than the older non-OLED models.

    yeah much better battery life

    Also 90hz refresh rate

    yeah, I love my oled deck. Just wish it was encrypted storage so i could actually use it like a portable machine (I'll probably work on some encrypted container someday)

    Isn't it just Linux?

    yeah but without bringing a keyboard with you, you can't really use luks (I guess with the last bios update, there's technically the virtual tpm one could use)

    Found this https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption

    Oh wow. I guess this keeps the Steam OS client intact.

    Not a bad idea! What model is the go to?

    Steamdeck would be awsesome. I have been wanting to get one for a while but just have not pulled the trigger yet. I want them to get a little more mileage on it.. I have the steam link and the steam controller and I was really disappointed they dropped those 2 so fast. Steam link is a nice easy way to get my library in multiple places in the house. I guess steam deck should also be able to accomplish that as well though.. Steam link was dirt cheap though

    Would you still recommend SteamLink in 2024?

    of course! I still use it often enough. Granted you cant run super demanding games on it, it works awesome for a majority of the games. Its really nice when you want to do a multiple player game and I have guests over. You dont have to huddle around a PC or sit near a tv that is wired upt to the PC. Just grab the controllers and start playing via steam link

    isnt nvidia shield just better ?

    Im really not sure. The steam link was just so cheap I never had a reason to look anywhere else. The only way to decide is if i tried both but im at a point i wouldnt really want to spend the money to try the shield. Its not a cheap endevaour to pick one up with the price they are asking for it.

  • Dustin, maybe it's time send out the F5 alert!

  • Apparently with this rapid-fire conversation, I've made it to rank 8 (or 7 if you don't count @dustinc ) in this thread.

    need, might have to swap the drive and give it a try to see if it accomplishes what I want. The previous time I looked into it, there was no solution without hooking up an external keyboard if you had to reboot/powerup

    yeah it was really a great deal and it was easy to pick one up and deploy it to every tv in the house if you really wanted to. I cant recall if it lets you run without ethernet.. but ethernet being required would be the only caveat. I cant imagine using it without though. Lucky enough to have ports everywhere i need one in my house
