    My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it’s smooth as butter. I guess what I’m saying is Linux for everything at this point… for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.

      I fought with Ubuntu for a weekend trying to get it to run my game library. I failed.

      I will give it a swing again when steam stops W10 support.

        I couldn’t get anything Debian based to install correctly. I ended up using Garuda, dragonized edition. It took less setup than a fresh windows install.

        Protondb is your friend. I haven’t actually been there in months though as everything I’ve played recently has just worked without issue.
