That's still a five year old stance. Just install bazzite and have a steam deck like experience on any PC without ever touching a terminal. It even does nvidia drivers out of the box for you. The curve is not steep at all. It's still there, but it's getting much easier very fast.

    Until you need to install something that isnt on Flatpak. Then the flat learning curve suddenly becomes a vertical cliff :)

    At least the climbing gear is FOSS though!

    I kid, but I'm guessing Bazzite has something like openSUSE Aeon's distrobox, which let's you install anything you want inside of a container and expose it as an app. If not, they should consider adding it.

    They absolutely do, but i'm sure you'd agree it's a bit technical for most people

    Edit: By technical i mean obscure, not difficult.

    Bazzite uses boxbuddy for distro box automation. It's literally two buttons on a gui, then the app is just another icon in your start menu. It even works well with autostart and desktop integration. It updates on its own. It has an extensive but easy to understand documentation. I've seen literal children do this without issue.
