@gamingonlinux I switched to exclusively PC game on my Steam Deck when I got it just under a year ago, because while I could get slightly better performance on my 6 year old desktop, that also came with 10x the power draw. @gamingonlinux I play steam games on the Steam Deck, but I'm done with Windows on my PCs, so my next build will be on Linux. @gamingonlinux There has been a drop in macOS usage. Are macOS users using the Gaming Porting Toolkit to run Steam? @gamingonlinux oh this is great news. let's hope the amount of steam deck users increase. it will just make the life of the rest of linux users so much better when it comes to gaming.  @gamingonlinux I'm in the market for a "my other gaming PC also runs Linux" sticker.  @gamingonlinux At the moment - If I had the money I would throw them at a Steam Deck and a Milk-V Pioneer Box. @gamingonlinux I'm currently running Manjaro on my desktop, mainly for gaming. Other than the increasingly rare hiccup, it works like a dream. I'm definitely going to get myself a Steam Deck soon. Thank you Valve for making Linux not only a good, but often times better platform for gaming! @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux the steam deck convinced me that I could make linux as a desktop daily driver work and so far, about a year in, I'm not disappointed! @meimeimeixie i keep meaning to do that with mine, lower power and less hit would be a win for summer @gamingonlinux not surprising steam deck is the easiest way for new people to get started. @gamingonlinux And how many of those are new to gaming linux? Half? More? The real story here is that the Steamdeck is making it popular to play Windows games on "not Windows". |
@gamingonlinux And what do you think about that? Is it good or bad?
