I’ve been thinking about getting a Deck and was wondering if anyone has experience running Bedrock Minecraft on it? Specifically with regards to controls, and updates. A few years ago I was playing Bedrock on my linux laptop, and it seemed like there were times where the client would be outdated, keeping me from playing with my kid.
I haven’t tried it, but it should be basically the same. You still can only get the Play Store version, so it should work most of the time, but it might still break then and again. But at least Chrome OS is now officially supported by Bedrock, so maybe they will watch out more for compatibility, I don’t know.
Controls shouldn’t be a problem. The Steam Deck is great in that regard. You can map everything however you want and somebody has also probably already done that for you.
And if push comes to shove you can always install Windows to play Bedrock.
