![[Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor?](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/ca9269c3-442f-4273-bf76-1e2269c6bce7.png){kind=link}
I just found out the PSP Go was a thing and I really like the idea of having the screen slide up to reveal the controls. I think this would be a great way to make a more compact version of the Steamdeck. I don’t know about the low profile joysticks though. I’ve never used anything like those before and I’m not sure how they’d feel to use. Maybe it would just be something I’d have to get used to. Regardless, I’d love to hear what other people think about this idea. Edit: I think I should clarify. I’m mostly referring to the style with the sliding screen. I don’t think something as small as the psp would be a good idea either
What do you mean smaller Os? There is a PSP mod that puts a Raspberry Pi inside it. Raspberry Pi runs a Debian fork. Sure it’s not fast enough for Steam games but it’s still a Linux desktop environment.
Technically the mini retroarch is also on linux, but that’s not what people think of when they think “I want to run it like I do the steamdeck”
Like you said, not enough for steam games. technicalities don’t leave people feeling happy.
Yeah but “smaller OS” doesn’t mean shit nowadays when even the slowest device can run a Linux desktop environment.
