My AMD desktop provides an almost identical user experience to the deck, just with more power. The problem isn't Linux, it's Nvidia not making a driver that actually works. Nvidia has always been hostile to gaming on Linux, desktop Linux users in general.

You can install any OS on the deck, it's commodity hardware shoved into a handheld. Not a locked down device like a console.

I've built all my desktops and none of them ran Linux poorly, played lots of games. I've been gaming on Linux since my only option was unreal tournament.

Anti cheat is a show stopper for many Linux games though, if you are big into multiplayer games you might be disappointed to find out your favorite game blocks Linux users because reasons. Games outside of steam will require more work to get running, because steam does the heavy lifting for you.

There are also other edge cases where it doesn't work great, like with CAD software. But Nvidia making garbage tier drivers has done more harm to the perception of Linux gaming than everything else combined.

One thing that people seem to dismiss, running windows games on Linux is fuckin magic. It's not normal for an OS to be able to run another systems applications.

I also miss the days of fat dumper laptops

jjjjjjjjj

One more reason I could never trust Microsoft again. They bought Nokia and ruined them.

Nice data. Thanks for reminding me why I prefer zstd
