Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of "I disagree!"

Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.

My two suggestions are forcing a different proton version (you mention this, so im guessing you already have) and ensuring you have a 32bit opengl driver installed(package names will differ between distributions. Arch wiki has some info)

For troubleshooting, launch steam from a terminal and watch for errors on game launch/close

Tim Corey on YouTube has excellent beginner C# material. I would start there.

I feel like that can't be true, but I have nothing to disprove it

Better?

Are you sure they aren't overused? 😉

How does one qualify how much a language needs to be used?

Are you saying Rust is being used in places that you feel C/C++ should be used, and you don't think Rust belongs? Or maybe you are saying Rust is being used in places where C/C++ are not typically used, and you don't feel it belongs there?

The closest thing to context you've given is that you feel Rust has flaws (all languages do), and that Ada is perhaps safer. It's really hard to give any kind of answer without a properly fleshed out question.

Overused

What is the correct amount of usage? Why shouldn't people use the languages they want to?

Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don't skip this step.

Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).

If you are certain you don't have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.

+1 on lower tier Intel CPU mini PC. I have a slew of different boxes by Beelink, Intel, and Asus. The N95 box I bought from Beelink (basically an N100) has been one of the most impressive for being so low power, and yet handling the wealth of services I've been running on it (with a lot of overhead yet).

The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.

I was mostly being tongue in cheek, but I think it might be possible to launch steam in big picture mode, rendered by Gamescope, from the TUI. No DE required.

It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.

FWIW: I'm not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don't have to set up sudo manually.

Don't install a GUI and you can just skip this step

Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)

You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.

FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.

No, I mean it was debian based. When Steam Deck released, they moved to being an immutable arch based distribution instead.

It also isn't currently made available for install outside of the Steam Deck yet.

SteamOS prior to steamdeck is an entirely different distribution FYI

You son of a bitch, I'm in.
