With the current rise of PC ARM processor (Apple silicone, Snapdragon X), anyone feel like Steam missed the opportunity when developing Deck with x86 and now they have to stick with it?

I tried Apple MacBook Air M2 with a bunch of games and emulators and it runs amazing while being extremely efficient.

I can run Switch emulator Ryujinx with Mario Kart Deluxe 8 at 60FPS and it only need 12Wh, compared to my PC (i5, 1070) need ~150Wh to do the same thing.

Nothing stopping them from using an ARM processor for the Deck 2

Id say the fiasco with the m1 chip and compatibility is staying their hand pretty firmly lol
