I had the absolute pleasure of a very long and relaxed chat with some other Linux content creators: Nick from The Linux Experiment, Jason from Forbes / Linux For Everyone and Gardiner Bryant. Talking through various points including Linux, Valve, Steam, Steam Machines, Steam Deck and more.
First up, a short teaser clip on the Steam Machines and what happened:
Direct Link
As a companion clip, there's also the complete opposite that I thought would be good to show next to this on how the Steam Deck has changed our gaming because the experience is just so different:

Finally, you will want to grab a drink and snack for this one, as here's Jason's edit of the full thing. One key point is that Jason was recording, and doing everything directly from his Steam Deck which overall worked pretty well.
Strap yourself in, it's a bit of a ride:

If you prefer podcast form, Jason has you covered too.

My only gripe is that the device is so limited in its availability, that I'll be getting a PS5 before I am able to even reserve one of these! Alss the same happened for the first two years of the Steam Controller before I was able to get one off Amazon (Steam never had it as available in my region).
One question I'd ask the bulk of you, though on that note, what if Valve signed a distribution agreement with Amazon for global delivery of the Deck instead of having it so tightly locked to certain regions? I am aware that the current situation has more to do with manufacturing yield than anything else, given the shortages we've been having for the past couple of years, but still, damn I am angry at Valve to have us cut off (BTW I live in Mexico, so it is particularly frustrating to me to be so close, yet so far)

By the way! Awesome video! Really liked your inputs, all of you and you all seemed to have genuinely enjoyed it. It's fun to see and hear who I usually read.
Edit: Ge-nu-in-ely... Wow! That was hard to write!
