    Aren’t the AMD in Deck 1 using x86 architecture? It would be impossible to change to ARM now. That would mean starting at square 1 and redesigning everything. And games compatibility would be thrown out the window.

      Computer is like AC. It becomes useless the second you open Windows.

      Developers already did half of work for porting on ARM: they ported on Linux.

        The whole point of the Steam Deck for me is playing my older games. Unless they get x86 translation working without a performance hit them I’d rather they stay on x86.
