Best Buy have recently increased the price they're listing for the two upcoming Lenovo - Legion Go S models with Valve's SteamOS. They seem to have taken down pre-orders too, with it now just being listed as "Coming Soon".

Nearly a month since the last stable update, NVIDIA have today released the 575.51.02 Beta driver that brings with it support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion on Linux along with various bug fixes. NVIDIA also formally announced the GeForce RTX 5060 series.

After Valve announced in January that a public beta of Steam Deck's SteamOS is coming for more handhelds, the initial SteamOS 3.7 Preview added the start of it and now the latest SteamOS 3.7.3 Preview brings more improvements for other handhelds.

If you look at nearly all reviews of handheld gaming PCs that run Windows, the major problem is Windows itself. So with Valve opening up the door to SteamOS Linux for more devices, it seems HP are interested in jumping in too.

While there doesn't seem to have been any announcement from Lenovo yet that I can see, Best Buy in the USA have put up two versions of the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS for pre-order.

In need of a new monitor? UPERFECT sent over a review unit of the UPERFECT UMax 24 and I've come away from it thoroughly impressed with it.

Much like we have OpenRazer and Polychromatic for Razer devices on Linux, we also have the constantly updated community supported ckb-next for better Corsair hardware support that just got updated.

Both the OpenRazer driver and Polychromatic app for users have seen upgrades in the last few days to bring improved Razer device support to Linux.

With Microsoft pushing to improve Windows on handhelds, and reportedly working with a specific partner on an Xbox-branded gaming handheld, Valve should be watching closely with their Linux plans for Steam Deck and SteamOS.

You can grab yourself a nice Gaming Pillow, various versions of the Deckmate attachment system and more with discounts.

For Corsair fans you should check out ckb-next, an open source driver with a full UI to let you properly configure you devices on Linux. A new version 0.6.1 is out now.

For those of you wanting a new high-spec processor for all your gaming, perhaps the latest Ryzen X3D will be what you're after. Announced back in January, today we now have the confirmed launch dates and pricing.

If you want to mount your Steam Deck to a wall, you could do so with something like the Deckmate but the MechLock looks far slicker with the super-smooth locking system where you can add a charger.

AMD have today pulled back the curtain on the Radeon RX 9000 series powered by RDNA 4 along with FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4).

Framework continue doing some really impressive stuff with their modular approach to hardware, and they just had a big event to reveal the Framework Desktop, Framework Laptop 12 and an upgraded Framework Laptop 13.

There's a lot of different stands and protective cases for the Steam Deck, all with their own unique selling point and the Steam Deck Folio looks like another interesting option.

It's been three years today since Valve released the Steam Deck. Not only has Valve shown how incredible Linux actually can be as a gaming platform, but they really kicked the industry into gear on PC gaming handhelds.

The community made and supported OpenRazer driver has a new v3.10 release available now, further expanding Razer hardware capabilities on Linux.

While the most recent rumour of a Steam Console was complete junk, it did get me thinking on what Valve would need to do to make a Steam Console / Steam Machine actually successful.

Mechanism, who made the excellent Deckmate and Gaming Pillow, said about their latest accessory kit the GoPro Mount that "No one asked for this…" but they did it anyway, because why not it actually sounds pretty useful.
