Is it just me who is sceptical about anything new from Intel at the moment?

  Running Steam in Big Picture mode on boot basically turns it into a more compatible/faster Steam Deck. I'd be more interested in installing Linux on it (being a Linux guy myself) if it wasn't for losing out on things like frame generation that you get from the Windows graphics drivers.
