Today's software update brings the Steam Deck's full on-screen keyboard into desktop mode, and adds support for dual trackpad typing! We've also added the ability to tune your joystick deadzones, haptic feedback strength, and more: https://t.co/fY2CggVRy9 pic.twitter.com/ngFu7JsWsi

This is the one thing I like about Valve is that they are fixing the issues that I (as well as others) reported to support. You may think that's obvious but you would be surprised how many companies including console manufacturers don't do that. Once they get a lot of these issues fixed and if they revise the fan, I will probably rebuy it.

@bolded: so true...

So far the Steam Deck ain't a threat to the Windows dominance on Steam... over 96.5% Windows systems seems to be a new record.

77.34% of the Windows systems / 74.69% of all surveyed Steam systems are running Windows 10 (64-bit).
17.44% of the Windows systems / 16.84% of all surveyed Steam systems are running Windows 11 (64-bit).

Since I want to track the Steam Deck, I took a closer look at the 1% Linux systems.

SteamOS ain't showing up in the most popular Linux versions, will be in the 42% category "others".

But AMD VanGogh made its entrance in the Linux GPU chart with 0.54%:

So surveyed Steam Decks are so far 0.0054% of the total Steam hardware base.

The last announced MAU was 132 million users. 0.0054% of that would be only 7158 surveyed Steam Decks.

The unreported number will be much much higher, so the next hardware survey will be interesting.

I just checked which microSD cards I have still laying around.

I'll use the left row for the Steam Deck... have to label the SD-adapters soon:

My first handheld memory card only had 32 MB, so 0.032 GB.

I was expecting a stronger Win7 holdout, so maybe Linux will finally surpass Win7 in a few months.
