    Steam deck changed my life.

    I have used Arch Linux as the main OS of my PC since 6 years ago, but I always need to use Windows to play games. I never used Windows again after I got a Steam deck

    iPhone + iPad/Mac + Steam Deck can meet all my daily needs.

    I like it, want the Steam Deck 2, and also want the Steam console or Steam machine series.

      You should be able to play just fine with Arch Linux… The SteamOS is based on arch after all.

        Yes. I can and I did. But it costs much extra time to download, install, and adjust. Using the Steam deck is convenient because the default settings have already done everything, I just need to pick it up and play games.

      You might just be able to play most games with Proton or Wine on a Linux desktop, it’s pretty straight forward. Especially when using Lutris. I switched to Linux not too long ago and the only games I can’t play are those with easy anticheat like Gta online. I also got Genshin Impact to work perfectly, despite claims of it not being possible due to anticheat.
