How much of this is steamdeck?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I’m going with a lot.

My Steam deck is my primary computer these days. I dock it and and use it with a keyboard and mouse when I’m not gaming.

I never considered to do that. Do you stick to the stock OS or do you use another?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Stock OS. The only thing that has bothered me so far is that I can’t use voice chat in Counter-Strike: Source because it instantly crashes the game and I can’t find a solution anywhere online for it.

What good is a 2000s online shooter if you can’t tell your enemies that their mom is gay?

For real though. It does everything I want it to do.

Cheers, thank you.

To our lesbian mothers.

doesn't stat counter use web data? I don't think many people browse the internet with their steamdecks but I guess it would be the majority.

Probably nearer 0%. These stats are from browser user agents on select sites. The chances that large amount of people are visiting these on their steam deck will likely not be very high. And there is only like 0.5% of people using the steamdeck on steam ATM.

The Steam Hardware Survey puts Linux at 1.44% (though gaming is heavily skewed towards windows users). And 0.57% using the AMD VANGOGH graphics card (which is apparently what the steam deck uses).
