    While I would love that, I really can’t imagine valve being able to handle the logistics and driver support that would come with that endeavor.

    The deck still has a lot of bugs, such as touch scrolling being broken if you try to scroll down in your library a few pages.

    I can’t imagine valve handling “user has put the console in sleep mode, detached the console from the egpu dock, and woken it from sleep” without bugs

      Sounds like most of that would be handled by the kernel with non-Deck-specific modules - it won’t forget to notify the userspace that a device has disappeared just because it was in sleep mode at the time it was physically disconnected.

      The only problems I ever had with sleep on Linux were all inability to wake up some part of the motherboard or the GPU because of crappy firmware, never with connecting/disconnecting external stuff.
