Sounds reasonable to me. Steam Deck is an open platform, and Windows is officially supported by the vendor with a driver kit. Why not?
Yeah, because Linux is a genuinely unpleasant OS to use for anything but ridiculously limited tasks. Windows is preferable in almost all cases.
And what did you write this on, a Android device or a iOS/OSX device?
Unfortunately, yes it’s Android Linux, since my Windows Phone device stopped working, I have been all but forced into using a linux device if I want to make phone calls. I’ve debated on going back to a “feature phone” to avoid it, but those are all Java based, so that’s almost worse on its own. And since the easiest tablet to watch YouTube videos on is BSD iOS, I have one of them too. If the Surface was more suited to that purpose, I would switch immediately.
My primary daily computers are both Windows as a main OS. One of them multi-boots Windows 7 32-bit, DR-DOS 7, and ReactOS. On the other, it’s Win10x64, but I usually jump straight into DOSBox-X or my Windows Me VM/emulator if I’m not doing anything important and modern.
Sir, you are a living meme.
Linux is for industrial/professional work. Windows is for consumers.
Ironically it’s always industry folks who think consumers are idiots for using windows and not ‘learning’ Linux/Unix.
I feel that setting up and administering Linux is still out of reach for most people. But for day to day use? Considering most of that is web browsing? It’s totally there.
I’m actually kinda astonished at how polished the GNOME desktop environment is
Where did these misconceptions even come from… Linux is ideal for end users, many tools commonly used in professional work are only available on Windows
