My initial thought is definitely yes for the Steam Machine, and maybe yes for the Steam Frame.
All devices are Valve made hardware running steamOS, so I would think a lot of the discussions/content would apply to Steam Deck. This also isn’t a super busy community, so I wouldn’t be that worried about Steam Deck specific content getting buried.
The Steam Frame is a bit more iffy than the Steam Machine though, there’s a lot of experience differences between the Deck/Machine and a VR device, so there will be larger differences. Also the Frame has ARM hardware and has to use an additional x86 to ARM compatibility layer for games running on it, so we’ll probably see some unique compatibility bugs for it.
Overall though I just want to hear everyone else’s opinions on it.
Yes I think so, though I think a seperate Linux Handhelds community would be cool to provide an encompassing place for devices like the Steam Deck/other types of linux handhelds.
As a replacement for this community or the proposed expansion, I am against. Either the Steam hardware side would be eclipsed, or the other devices would. Also, I interpret that such a Linux handhelds community could include Linux phones, which would stray even further from the original Steam Deck proposal from here.
Now, as a new community, I wouldn’t be against.
I meant as a new complimentary community not a replacement!
