IMO there is a difference in productivity tools and entertainment. With entertainment products they’re usually consumed and then replaced. Productivity tools you’re stuck with and vendor lock in is a real problem.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!!
1·21 days agoI mean, no phone controller has the same layout as the steam controller.
100% exactly the same layout is impossible, when there has to be room for the phone cradle in the middle. If you want to clip the phone above the Steam Controller, just get one of those plastic holders where you can attach the regular Steam Controller at the bottom side.
If Valve could implement the software to support steaminput when streaming games to a phone from your PC or a cloud PC, that’d be kinda cool.
Steam Link already exists and Steam Input runs on the PC.
a controller with feature parity with the Steam Controller would be an innovation.
The phone’s touch screen already provides the touch pad functionality when using one of the controllers pictured above.

4·21 days agoMaybe too far outside their wheelhouse still but can you imagine a Steam Phone?
Valve allows redistribution of the Steam client. Other than resources, there is little that would stop companies like Jolla to put the Steam client on their phones.

11·21 days agoWould be cheaper than regular Steam Controller
Why would Valve make the same Steam Controller again but with a phone cradle in the middle and somehow make this cheaper? It would need to house the same hardware components as the regular Steam Controller AND possibly add an active cooler.
That’s even less realistic than Valve managers reading posts on Lemmy.

1·21 days agoWhy could a phone controller not have innovations such as those?
OP didn’t ask for additional innovations, OP asked for “the same functionality as the Steam Controller” which the slot-in things + the phone’s touch screen already provide.
DeX is more often used on Samsung tablets with attached keyboard. I didn’t check but I assume it’s being merged with Android’s upstream desktop mode.
The term “desktop” has more than one meaning and in the context of which operating systems are used on desktops, it certainly includes laptops. 😉
Samsung DeX = desktop Linux. You heard it here first, folks.
Maybe OP is annoyed?

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Steam Deck has hit a milestone with over 25,000 games rated Playable or Verified by Valve (7,518 Verified, 17,492 Playable), up from 20,000 in June 2025

There is only one piece of software named Linux and that’s the kernel. Android is as much a legitimate distribution of Linux as is Alpine Linux.
Given Ubuntu is testing replacing the GNU coreuitils with uutils, we might have to start unironically calling it systemd/Linux.
The differentiator is glibc. That’s what defines binary compatibility. Ubuntu still used glibc, Android uses Bionic.



















Does it need to be free software or just work on Linux? In recent years several web-based video editors became popular such as CapCut and Microsoft Clipchamp. They come with the usual disclaimers of being by companies that don’t have your best interest at heart.
Personally, I try to power through Kdenlive and look up tutorials for the little stuff I do.
Edit: https://opencut.app/ but may require running it inside a local Docker container yourself for most stability.
