      I think you’re wrong. It’s showing that Linux has the capability to actually run these games. Some/most people won’t be able to equate the Linux on their handheld with Linux on a desktop, but those who do are welcome to the fold.

      The Deck is basically a laptop in a handheld form factor, so no, it’s not just showing that Linux can game as a handheld.

          Well, we can agree to disagree.
          I have 2 friends who decided to switch their daily driver PCs to Linux after getting a steamdeck, that’s 2 out of 5. Not a single one of those 5 has put windows on their deck. shrugs

            Your own friend group is the definition of selection bias, though - at the least, they know you and probably have similar interests/hobbies to some degree, and I daresay you’ve probably said something about Linux to them before.

            And there’s a whole, active subreddit for people who put windows on steam deck - apparently the initial problems people had with it have been getting ironed out more and more.

            I don’t know which is more common but I’d need to see actual data, either way.
