Yeah, Linus didn't actually bother clicking the links. The old OS download links redirect to the arch based steam deck os
Ya know, somehow I'm not surprised to hear LTT didn't do their research
Why anyone ever watched their garbage videos is beyond me.
I'd like to think they provide a useful service. "useful" as in entertaining and a sense of community. They get things wrong but I'd like to think that they try and in the "churn" of making videos and running a company you screw up every now and again.
I haven't watched an LTT video in a while though. I just hate their thumbnails (I get the algorithm forces them) but over time I think their content just isn't for me, but I can see why others would.
It's entertaining.
Tbf, I only know because I watch too much YouTube and bringus studios mentioned it a couple months ago.
Bringus needs more love around these parts
Or it was filmed before Valve updated the info on the page
Nope, been like that for months.
Eta: it was mentioned in a bringus studios video a couple months ago, iirc installing steam on a cardboard box
Interesting, I looked into it about 6 months ago and all the info was not to use the link so maybe they didn't go on the page because everyone was saying not to 🤷
Yeah 6 months sounds about right from my recollection. It was available for a while after they released the steam deck, and something like 6-8 months ago they started redirecting to the deck os instead.
