I am not a big supporter of the Steam Deck/SteamOS specific support and I feel Linux gaming in general has been declining over the past years. I don’t need a Steam Desk for the occasional gaming I do, and still have a decent enough pc tower that can handle anything I want to play.
I started gaming on Windows again because I can’t be bothered anymore to tinker with drivers, workarounds, etc (having kids instead of free time will do that to you ;-)).
There is a clear risk here. I think it warrants to be recognized more.
