    I use Linux as my daily driver. I use the Steamdeck as my desktop when I am out of the country and on business trips.

    The desktop does not require “tinkering” unless you want to. By default it is better set up than windows is. Windows has yet to get a decent file manager for example.

    I game on my linux desktop. Its not uncommon and it works great.

      I feel like you missed my point. It’s not about the steam deck, it’s about a desktop computer filled with random parts where Linux now needs to support and get all these things working together.

        Not really random parts… heck my deckstop gpu doesn’t even need drivers. No tinkering at all. Windows is far worse at having to screw around with drivers.
