Between Microsoft’s open source Vulcan enhancements and Valve’s everything else enhancements both being contributed upstream, “Wine required” doesn’t have quite the same punch it used to.
It is very true. Nobody buys a steamdeck to be a desktop replacement. Nobody does work on a steamdeck. It might theoretically work, but most steamdeck owners game on it and thats it.
What a dishonest argument. They’re using a curated overlay for Linux that mostly hides the Linux part from them completely. The fact that there’s a “Desktop Mode” doesn’t change the fact that 99% of Steam Deck users aren’t in Desktop mode.
Actually… The Steam Deck runs on Valve’s custom Arch Linux. To say there is no steady userbase is simply not true.
Touché. I would like to counter that with “Not a desktop though” and end my turn with “wine required to use company software”

Pours myself a shot for having to thank Microsoft
Weak punches are still punches
that’s also not true because it could be used as a desktop all the same
