I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.

I used to have this problem but not since the Steam Deck is out.

Before, I was always frustrated fiddling with Lutris, winetricks, etc. But now it’s only been plug and play for me, just let Steam take care of it. Zero compatibility issues. In fact, recently I’ve had more issues with native games than Proton.

I’m not talking about buying a Steam Deck, I’m talking about the effect it has had on Linux gaming in general.

I mostly play on a laptop with a Radeon GPU and it’s been absolutely issue free gaming wise.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
