The Steam Deck Is Finally here and Yes It’s Awesome!
In this video, we take a look at the all-new Valve Steam Deck Hand-Held Gaming PC.
WE do an unboxing, Overview, Go over the Specs, Test some PC games on The Steam Deck like Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite, Elden Ring, Project Cars 2, Doom Eternal, and the New God Of War PC port. And of course, we see how well it handle emulation like PS2 using PCSX2, PSP using Retroarch, and even PS3 using the RPCS3 emulator.
We even test out the built-in KDE Plasma Desktop on the steam deck to see if it could be used as your Everyday PC.
Powered by a Custom Ryzen APU with Built-in RDNA 2 iGPU and backed by 16GB of LPDDR5 ram this handheld is absolutely amazing!

It does look pretty awesome. So compact and with a lot of power and RAM.

Digging up an old post, tried to search for more details here.

I fell down an internet rabbit hole and now want to disable intel management engine, ME.

What’s your experience with libraboot, and coreboot? Does it work?

Looking to fix a 6th gen skylake system.

Already bought a CH341A before reading about coreboot, ha, I guess I can use it for other projects.

Sorry Zoki I’m slow getting back to you - my experience is minimal, in the sense that after some research I bought a laptop with libreboot pre-installed, and it has always worked perfectly. So apart from a colourful drawing of an adorable gnu and a mischievous little penguin giving each other an affectionate tussle which comes up when I boot, I’ve not much to add.

The documentation is thorough for libreboot, and I know that Leah who runs the project is very responsive to technical questions on reddit. I’m looking forward to playing with it myself some day but have no reason to now. Let us know which way you go in the end anyway :slight_smile:

Soooo… I’ve been able to pick up a cheap identical model of my laptop on eBay which I’ll be testing on.

I’ll share my experience.
