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.
“Steam Stuff” might have been better. That why not limiting the subject to hardware. I have a feeling that SteamOS is going to become a big talking point soon. Would be a shame to separate the conversations.
Here’s an idea.
Just rename it to " Steam"
Half-life 3 released as a Steam OS exclusive would be another nail in the Windows coffin and steroids for gaming on Linux.
Having an exclusive game for Steam hardware would undermine the reason why users support Valve in the first place.
I suspect that if anything is going to become big enough to warrant its own community it would probably be steamOS rather than any of the hardware, after all in a few months the hardware will be out and there won’t be as much to talk about.
But the OS is going to be getting updates I would assume, so there’s always going to be new topics
