Considering the Switch 2 (with those pretty joystick well covers to protect from drift, omg) and the Ryzen Z2 Go announcements, the low cost and availability of Steam Deck & parity level APU machines for purchase now, and the giant 1080p gaming install base represented by current gen consoles, it sure seems like low spec & 1080p gaming is going to have a pretty sunny future. I am hoping this gives small and medium sized development teams a chance to show up what is left of AAA gaming.

What are your favorite low spec gaming setups right now? I’m enjoying a 5700g APU system the most these days. Mainstream wise, I’ve been playing Elden Ring and Injustice 2 and Vampire Survivors. The last Indie I played is this beat-em-up / horde survival game An American Werewolf in LA which was pretty cool.

    I’ve never encountered any of the issues you’ve talked about here, and every deck-verified game has worked on my Legion Go. Often better, as many “Playable” titles only have marks deducted for small text, which looks fine at 2560*1600.

    As for the lesser used distro, I can understand where that creates issues. However, due to it’s immutability, Bazzite is a consistent target to support with no real variations in system packages.
