I already switched my Wii u over to the pretendo network. Uploading and playing levels already work in super Mario maker.
It’s still far of from a drop in replacement, but miiverse, wara wara plaza and som in game things are working.
Not op but also don’t have a steamdeck, but my tv setup is also reported as steamdeck. I use Chimera OS on my PC connected to my living room tv.
It uses just some old parts left over a 4 gen i5 and a Rx 470.
Did you turn on steamplay/proton on in the settings? Including the toggle to use it for all titels?
Of course does not mean all games are playable, but they at least should so up in your library to try.
You can test a windows game and especially single player games most just work. If you have some problems you can check it on protondb.com. Maybe someone already found a simple solution.
In Dutch you have the saying “geduld is een schone zaak” (having patience is a great good). Meaning how waits in peace and calm will be rewarded. But also hate that saying too.
But still hope that your patience will be rewarded with clean and prefect prints!
The 2 times (living not with my parents anymore) I had now electric power unplanned was of course when it was cold. However the fancy central heating running on gas was also not working. As the main unit also needed electric power.
So I could still cook my food but that’s was it. No heat. But that being said in my entire life we lost power (including as a kid) maybe 5 times and only for a couple of hours. In 33 years
I now have a heat pump and for cooking induction. So in a power outage I need to grab some camping gear. But I will probably survive for a couple of hours without heat.
But if you have regular power outages you and everybody in your country should probably vote and make your voices heard. If you live in a country where most people can afford heat pumps, the government can afford fixing the power grid.
The 2s has more ram and a better soc.
As well out of the box support for Android 11. The 2+ runs android 9 with a possibility to manually upgrade to android 11.
That being said I’m still very happy with my 2+
I already mentioned pretendo in a comment. But for anyone how wants to play super Mario maker on there Wii u after the shutdown. You can switch networks (you of course need to (soft)mod your Wii u).
In super Mario maker uploading, playing uploaded levels, death point, world record and staring them works. There is still a lot missing. But you can still play.
Some games and features are behind a payed beta(which I hate). But all super Mario maker stuff is free.
Seeing wara wara plaza alive on my Wii u is amazing with random Mii’s and post from miiverse.
