I bought an ROG Ally X specifically because it runs Windows. Steam just virtualizes Windows anyway. If you don't know how to whip Windows into your bitch that's on you.
It's hot garbage, learn to recycle.
Meh, I'd prefer if they all run Linux, so that we dont have to pay more for the privilege of being data mined. We need to stop supporting these monopolies, they push out such hot garbage software.
It's an additional layer of abstraction.
Many games that run on Windows do not perform the same, and sometimes don't run at all on Linux or wine.
Linux enthusiasts used to know what they're talking about instead of pasting wrong info about my own hardware.
Or just use the thing that's more functional, more user friendly, and isn't garbage that doesn't need to be 'whipped into shape'. Will never understand the fucking Stockholm syndrome some people have for Microsoft's bullshit.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
My hardware doesn't work on Linux. It's not Stockholm. I've been using Linux for 39 years.
Steamdeck is emulating Windows. It's got computational overhead and compatibility issues for many games.
Consumers didn't make it this way. I spent my life loving Linux while being a gamer who had to use Windows.
