I just got a steam deck and I'm surprised how well it runs games. It's not quite as refined as a switch but it can run games were designed to run windowed in Windows with a mouse and keyboard. It can translate the game to run on Linux, the inputs to a gamepad and convert the game from being windowed to fullscreen. It's impressive and if the games were actually designed for the deck I feel like it could feel as seemless as the switch.
It is really making me consider Linux for my desktop once Windows 10 reaches EoL. The only game I've found that doesn't work is Destiny 2. Even the desktop mode on the deck is surprisingly nice
I remember a few years ago people got destiny 2 to work on Linux and Bungie banned those players. Fuck Bungie
And then they made a Linux native version but it worked only on Stadia.
Fuck Bungie.
The Steam Deck and it's desktop mode is why I decided to try jumping head first into a single boot of Bazzite on my main computer, 4 months in and I haven't looked back, even PDF's are better in linux, no Adobe iron grip.
Adobe-free PDFs are pretty neat, though Firefox has a great PDF viewer/editor nowadays, which works well on Windows too.
When I was on Windows, I used SumatraPDF. It's literally tiny and I never really missed any features.
You're going to love Bazzite.
