SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck'

      I just spent 2 hours trying and failing to get a Hello, World! in Eclipse, I’m not brave enough for Linux

        Depending on what you want to do the one does not imply the other. (And some times coding actually is easier on Linux, I had a way better experience compiling my c++ projects there then my friend had on windows)

      I’m amazed there are people out there putting windows on a Steam Deck. It’s like buying a Monet and then bringing it home and doodling on it in finger paint

        If doing certain things under proton was less of a pain in the ass, I’d agree with you. But proton still isn’t simple for some usecases.

        EDIT: the people downvoting me very likely have only surface level experience with Proton. Sorry, it isn’t perfect. It’s based on WINE, which also isn’t perfect. It’s making a lot of progress and is damn close but it isn’t perfect.

            I guess they are referring to playing some specific games or software which don’t work well on Linux even with proton.

            That’s the great thing about the deck; You can use it for whatever you want.

              I personally would rather not play those games than worsen the general experience by installing Windows. Other people feel differently and that’s okay.
