The Steam Deck is the best thing to happen to Linux since... Linux. It's the first time average tech illiterate folks have gotten a taste of Linux on their own systems, and it's driven the development of compatibility tools (Proton) to a hitherto-unheard-of degree.

It convinced me to switch to Linux.

    KDE used to be the feature complete, heavy, memory intensive DE. But now we aren't running Linux on abandoned laptops but on modern hardware. The average PC is so powerful that it's completely irrelevant. All in on KDE/Plasma as well

    I feel bad for anyone with no linux experience who bought a steam deck. There’s a good amount of weirdness with the UI sometimes, and modifying desktop mode controls can lead to it ignoring inputs until steam launches on occasion.

    I know these issues stem from this being a brand new device with a brand new form factor, using whacky proprietary track pads and shit. But someone who’s only used windows might attribute them to linux and be left with a bad taste.

    It’s good that the Ally exists so we can have a windows handheld to compare against.
