The community name has been changed, but the c/steamdeck part cannot be changed without creating a new community.
In the previous discussion on whether to include Steam Machine/Steam Frame/Steam OS, the majority of the responses wanted to include the new hardware, at least for the time being.
Part of this decision is that, right now, the fediverse isn’t really large enough to support multiple hardware-specific Steam OS communities. However, if the community grows or it becomes apparent that the communities need to be separated, we can do that at a later time.
As always, feedback is encouraged and welcome.
Oh neat. I feel like it’s going to be a good choice as long as people remember to use flairs.
There’s not even close to enough content being posted that it’ll get too disorganized
Oh I could flair I guess.
I think the renaming is the right move, in order to not confuse anyone. Congratz “on the upgrade”. And well done asking what the community thinks before doing this. I wasn’t a fan of this, if the name was kept. But this way, it makes perfect sense.
I would argue that having a display name that indicates something different than the true name could lead to confusion for people like me who always disable showing display names (for both users and communities). Though, I am not sure how common it is for people to use this setting like me.
With all that said, in the end, this is probably the best solution for the community. I can’t be too disappointed.
… You apparently can rename a community.
Huh!
Only the display name.
Well you could say that all hands are on the Deck
could be worse man, all hands could be on the poop deck.
This escalated quickly.
Ah!
I did not know that was how it worked, but that does make sense.
I still get numbness in my extremities when I think about Valve releasing 3 hardware products at once. But yeah splintering the communities for each hardware on such a smol platform makes no sense.
Cool, makes sense to me.
I’m a little worried about the Frame since VR (and especially the whole x86 to ARM) might be too big a difference to this comm, but IMO it’s fine to cross that bridge when we get there.
Maybe the Frame gets it’s own comm and this stays for the more conventional (?) Hardware like the Deck, Machine and Controller since they’re so closely tied together?Proton was a big difference too. It seem to be really opening doors for more Linux stuff. You should dig into the config this thing can do much and the did the same for arm Linux. They reduced the work by conbining the part. I wonder if big company would pay a service to get steam-os with hardware customizations to ship with their handheld
I think the comm name and display name not matching will make it a bit confusing for people to post to…
I suggest calling it “Steam Deck and Hardware discussion”
Excited to see the real world performance of the steam cube

I was just thinking the same thing. I don’t think I’ve turned it on in a year.
Yes, the frame is the one most likely to not fit. If it’s an issue we’ll deal with it then.
Can I ask the community if they’re having the same issues as I with the background recording? It’s been busted for me for months (and others) but others seem unaffected. It’s driving me insane trying to work around it.
Sure, that’s perfectly acceptable for this community
