10 months agoYeah with what I’ve seen of Samsung TVs, I’d never buy one for myself. Samsung makes great OLED panels, but you can get those in better TVs made by other manufacturers.
It’s not just a pace issue, but the fact that Valve can change literally any part of SteamOS they need/want to, because it’s Linux. Anything from the kernel all the way up through the desktop environment and Steam client can be tweaked and improved on command.
Windows handheld manufacturers by contrast are entirely dependent on Microsoft for deeper modifications and are limited to what they can tack onto Windows superficially. Valve has far more potential for improving the user experience here, there’s no comparison.
