@gamingonlinux I just read that post and... I agree with Windows Central. I don't think the point is that "Linux" can't do that. For an average user, it's hard to leave the Steam interface and understand how to install anything but Steam games. I do agree they exaggerate in some arguments, like "Since ROG Ally runs Windows 11, it can do anything a gaming laptop can". But in general, I agree with them. The user must be a nerd like us to install anything but Steam games on a Steam Deck. 3 comments
@gamingonlinux I agree with you. The desktop mode on a Steam Deck is great and easy to use. This is a failed point in the article. But what I'm saying is: reading their entire post, the desktop mode is the smallest point. They are mostly saying that if you want to install games outside the Steam library, the Ally is better. And this is true. I love my Steam Deck, but handling it with other launchers is always a pain.  @thenets @gamingonlinux Well, doesn't it actually work the same (or worse, if something is not available in Microsoft Store) on Windows?

@thenets If you think operating a simple menu, to hit a button that says "Switch to Desktop" and gives you a very Windows style layout with KDE Plasma is hard for the average user - humanity is doomed
