I sometimes use a steamdeck out and about but most of the time I use it at home streaming my desktop using sunshine/moonlight. I don’t notice the lag, just enjoy the high quality visuals and extended battery. You can even use wake on lan to wake up your PC from moonlight on the steam deck.
Man, moonlight/sunshine was a gamechanger for my PC, I can play on my TV then on my phone then on my desktop, it’s awesome!
Is this better than steams built in streaming system?
Honest question, never used anything else
Actually I don’t own a Deck, though if it’s similar to Steam Link on PC I’d say moonlight let’s me tweak a little bit more stuff like bandwidth and allows for up to 120fps on all my client devices.
The setup process for moonlight/sunshine is pretty easy so I’d say give it a shot.
When it originally launched, I feared it would go the same way as Valve’s previous inventions in the VR
What the hell is she talking about?
Index still gets regular updates and it still doesn’t really have any competition at its price point (Quest with its ridiculous account requirements doesn’t count).
Just because Index was not a massive success due to its significantly higher cost doesn’t mean it’s a failure, and it’s far from abandoned.
How is the index? I’ve been thinking about getting one but I feel like there’s a new version right around the corner.
It’s great, especially the controllers - there’s nothing else like it.
And, well, it’s the only headset making any claims about Linux compatibility, which is also a big thing for me.But your concern is the exact reason I’m not sure I can recommend it.
Of course, Valve works on Valve Time, so the chances Deckard will release next month are basically the same as it releasing anytime in the next decade.
