    Don’t I know it, as a decade+ Linux user. Technically best thing doesn’t always win the popularity contest. For a general use operating system lack of software (and game) support is a similar issue as lack of support for image format and it’s really harming Linux too.

      Steamdeck has really pushed devs to make their games linux compatible. Native would be nice. But this is great. I haven’t booted into windows for games for most of the year.

        Valve has been a real blessing for Linux. I haven’t had a dual boot system in many years but some games just doesn’t work or needs fiddling. And while I’m fine with that, I know most aren’t. And that’s fine too. Maybe someday.

        Native would be nice, but devs not having the need to maintain an extra version is why there’s been so much progress in the first place.
