    No I just think you’re exaggerating the problem and had a bad take on it. In my opinion Steam is harder to install on Windows than Heroic Launcher is to install on SteamOS.

    Messing with Proton isn’t required and I am sure most games will figure out how to add a shortcut to Steam.

      No I think you’re just woefully ignorant of why people buy consoles in the first place, and why the Steam Deck even exists.

        You literally said

        installing HGL or any other launcher is going to be both inconvenient and require a level of investigation that most people don’t care to bother with when they can just hit “buy” on the store.

        This reads to me that think Valve are going to make installing shit harder. I’m arguing that at the moment it’s easy to do and Linux is an open platform. Nothing like a walled garden

            Alright, I guess we’ll just agree to disagree. I think Valve has done a fantastic job with the Steam Deck and I love it’s openess. The Steam Deck made me aware of how good Linux has become and is the reason I ditched Windows on my desktop computer
