In all seriousness it’s very exciting, I just don’t need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

    The steam deck doesn’t work like a regular gaming console though. Without digging you can switch into desktop mode and it works like any desktop running KDE.

    Also, if you’re saying that we shouldn’t count steamdecks because linux came preinstalled, we might as well disregard 98% of the windows market.

      I’m simply stating that the “year of the Linux desktop” hasn’t really arrived because most of its increase in market share comes from something that isn’t used as a desktop at all by 99.9% of people.

        Year of the Linux Desktop is a meme headline the same way “x considered harmful” is.

      While that has been a nice feature on mine, I’ve definitely been more frustrated with the KDE interface than I am when using my Windows desktop - even when my Deck is hooked up to monitors. Much of that could be familiarity, but familiarity is a very real, very important thing.
