@Ariane@kde SteamOS and the Deck Verified program significantly reduce this issue imao. Obviously it will never be perfect, but it's good enough that millions of steam decks are out in the wild, many used by primarily console players.

Yup it is, and I hope it continues the trend, but compared to Macs and PCs that is still a ridiculously low number :blobCat_pleading:
Also we could derive a corollary from what you said that Steamos seems to also show that without a company wanting to make money off of it, a distro is inherently non user friendly.
I cannot really fault that thinking as UX is often at best an afterthought in open source projects. KDE seems to take this more seriously since some years and this is laudable but there's still so so so much work, and distro themselves have big UX issues.
Let's hope we can see more UX specialists at Foss confs, raising awareness throughout the community. @kde
