A steam deck isnt practical for a lot of things

I use a docked Steam Deck with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse all the time. It's a regular PC.

(i assume from pictures, i dont own one)

Then watch video reviews as well. Your lack of knowledge doesn't invalidate what I wrote. This is literally the first result on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ0KxIzdyR8

Its also pretty expensive by my countries standard

It's not expensive by comparison to other PCs with similar hardware.

You're arguing with a person that says that Linux sucks, yet also says that people should use a Linux PC because ChromeOS is a Gentoo-derived Linux distribution. That person is obviously trolling at this point.

But in both examples, they are not interacting with the Linux UI whatsoever, which is the thing we are discussing.

The UI of SteamOS is a Linux UI. What else would it be?

If you're trolling, at least do some of the classics like confusion about too many UIs but denying that the UI of SteamOS isn't a Linux UI is just dumb.

Nvidia has 90% of the discrete GPU market.

Windows has 90% of the OS market. I guess, Linux can just pack its things then. Windows forever. 🙄

Kind of important that things work there.

Tell Nvidia. Their crap driver is proprietary. Nothing anyone but Nvidia can do.

So that’s an irrelevant example.

SteamOS is Linux.

MBR is over.

The average Steam Deck user does not even know it's running Linux. How it's going: millions sold and counting.

Average people don't even use networked drives. What are you talking about?

They're happy with Chrome and Steam.

Linux supports anti cheat just fine, just not Windows kernel root kits.

Yes, not super long ago but since a year or so.

Those get a Steam Deck

Shit, nobody tell that guy about Powershell on Windows and homebrew on macOS.

Fact is, nobody is stopping you from dual booting.

Windows may brick Linux but not the other way around.

ProtonDB is known well enough at this point, you can be expected to look up these games yourself.

Plasma has that. If you use a convenience distribution, the underlying drivers should be available out of the box.

If not, file a bug report with the distribution. Things like these can be expected to ship pre installed.

If you chose a "fiddle yourself" distribution like Arch, blame nobody but yourself.

Nvidia is not ready.

FTFY

Maybe use an ad blocker instead of an antivirus tool.

With a properly configured ad blocker, there is no cookie choice banner and and Cookie AutoDelete handles any that were saved without explicit consent.

Personally, I always find it weird when a developer relies on free data and then asks for money for a frontend that's relatively simple by comparison.

The FAQ says nothing regarding splitting the proceeds with ProtonDB for example, yet the app generates traffic on the ProtonDB server.
