   • Steam Deck can perfectly emulate Switch games
   • Fuck you Windows, Valve GTOW and making Linux mainstream
   • For $400 you can play AAA titles and pirate all Switch games for free
   • Nintendo DMCA’s videos about Steam Deck Switch emulation
   • Linus Tech Tips makes a video called “I am a pirate” and “I dare Nintendo to take this down” showcasing Switch emulation on Steam Deck

   Damn I’m feeling hopeful about free software, free culture, internet freedom etc all because of a capitalist company making money.

     With other Switch players, definitely not. But between Yuzu emulator users, possibly. I just saw this: https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/ldn-is-here/

     Also, I love that if you showed someone Switch on Steam Deck, they'd say "omg did you HACK your Steam Deck?? Did you JAILBREAK your Steam Deck?" And the answer is "No :chad:"

     You can open Steam OS app store and type in "yuzu" directly to download it. It's actually included in the preinstalled repos, no hackery required.

     @alex The one barrier is Denuvo's anti-tamper software spreading to the Switch. Hopefully the cracking methods improve and circumvent this so I can soon play Switch games at a higher resolution and framerate.

     @alex I hope more companies start supporting Linux like Valve does, specially hardware companies, like Logitec, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec. The SimRacing community has a Linux group and some games run well on Linux thanks to Proton, but there are no official drivers for the steering wheels out there. A few people have made drivers for the most common steering wheels and they work alright, there is even an app called Oversteer to calibrate various wheel functions. The community is growing, but we all wish the companies would realize that too.
     Unfortunately the Linux community is only 1.23% of total steam users, but now that Valve has lifted the order restrictions on their steam deck since they were able to ramp up their production, I hope it will soon cause Linux steam users to skyrocket and pass Mac steam users which are around 2.5% I think, and companies realize there is profit to be made in Linux.

     @alex You just cemented my decision between switch and steam deck. Yeah the switch is less expensive but I checked online and it costs as much as a used N3DS XL. Might as well bide my time until I can afford it.

     Every USB-C dock I've tried so far has worked perfectly. There are even $30 Amazon clones of the yet-to-be-released official dock, which also work perfectly.

     Also, native support for Xbox One/S/X bluetooth controllers with zero configuration. Just pair via bluetooth and it works. The interoperability is so cool.

     @alex @NEETzsche I wasn't aware of that. That is hilarious. i know you can do that with Lutris, it has most emulators available to download, and retroarch. I also know that Steam has Retroarch available to download, so you can play MAME, NES, SNES, Game Boy, GameBoy Color, GBA, DS, 3DS, all Sega systems, PS1 and 2.
     Steam Deck is a powerhouse.
     But I like PS3 a lot and the RPCS3 struggles a bit with the Steam Deck hardware, I will definitely buy a Steam Deck 2 if it comes with Zen 4 or better in the future.
     RPCS3 is very cpu heavy.

     uh
     umm
     I guess Tears of the Kingdom is looking cool but it's probably just gonna be a Breath of the Wild expansion.
     And that was better on Wii U because you could mod it but not on Switch
     and
     uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

     @Arkana @alex This is a condemnation of Nintendo, by the way. It's half the reason I haven't considered buying anything of theirs since the Wii. Maddening, but the only real solution is to just nut up and start programming your own games. ?

     @Ace66062 @alex @e Half of those don't count because they're re-releases or remasters.
     >2 kirby games
     Fair enough, I like kirby.
     >2 xenoblade games
     I enjoyed what I played of XCX more than what I played of XC1, so I never got tremendously enthused for XC2 or XC3.
     >2 fire emblem games
     If I wanted a Waifu Simulator I'd play Katawa Shoujo. If I wanted a SRPG I'd play literally anything else besides nu-FE. If I wanted to jerk off, I'd navigate to rule34.xxx.
     >2 Zelda games
     Already accounted for.
     >a few mario games
     One is a rehash with an expansion pack, and Nintendo hasn't made a good sidescrolling Mario game since the fucking SNES.
     Another is literally just New Mario U again.
     Odyssey was a tremendous disappointment.
     I hope we're not counting sports spinoffs or that abortion of a "Paper Mario" "game".
     
     So we're up to, uhhhhhhh four games I think? I avoided buying a Wii U when it was relevant and had more games than that.
