The Steam Deck is soaring in popularity, causing a monumental shift in the balance of the three operating systems when it comes to gaming.

      My steam deck is still regularly used. I can’t say the same for my switch.

      It’s just so versatile in what it can do, since it’s a PC at its core.

      And being able to play a vast majority of my library, then pick it up later on my main PC if I wish is a huge bonus.

      I love relaxing on my couch and still being able to play.

    Is it possible yet for me to swap fully to linux if 99% of what I do on my PC is games? The only desktop app I use is photoshop but as long as there’s a decent replacement not a real deal breaker.

      There’s GIMP, which fills the same niche as Photoshop but takes a long time to get used to.

      I used to run CS6 with minor issues in wine. Both Photoshop and wine have come a long way since then I’m sure, I’m curiousv what the experience is like now

    If not for HDR support on Linux, I’d run it for gaming too. As it stands, it’s a dual boot/vm for productivity, and win for gaming. Hopefully soon.

    I got my steam deck back in May of last year. It’s held up really well and it’s been my primary gaming device. It’s basically gotten me back into gaming.
