    You just said you’ve never used a Steam Deck.

    Correct, have yet to touch SteamOS.

    Multiple people have told you why what you’re saying is ridiculous.

    How is what I said ridiculous? Is the market all of a sudden no longer Windows dominated?

    I get it, SteamOS is essentially Steams Big Picture mode locked down however, the minute someone wants to mod one of their games using software made for Windows that they find on Nexus mods or Se7enSins they’ll run into issues or a novel of documentation for a workaround.

    The vast majority of people don’t want to sit and troubleshoot for hours on end for a single mod, they want it to work out of the gate and that’s where SteamOS/Linux currently falls flat.

      As someone else pointed out, you’re basically calling a PS5 difficult because it runs BSD and that must mean people need to tinker and use the terminal to make things work.

      I haven’t ever touched a steam deck either, but I would assume that games on the steam deck just work without any tinkering with the shell.
