Comment on Steam Deck as a laptop replacement?

  I intend to install Windows to keep as a general purpose OS

  Why do you want to shoot yourself in the foot? Desktop mode of SteamOS is already general purpose.

    Because I find Windows easier to use with some tasks, like Photoshop, lightroom, browsing the web, voice chatting etc. Linux and especially SteamOS I find easier to game on. At the end of the day I’ll still have use for both of them.

      I find Windows easier to use with some tasks, like […] browsing the web

      Chrome is Chrome, Firefox is Firefox, Edge is Edge, etc. They are the same everywhere.

        And as someone whose been distro-hopping for 10 years and tried loads of different setups it’s been my personal conclusion :)

        In the end the browser isn’t everything, it’s also UI of the desktop environment and the file explorer and how some things are handled. That I find more comfortable with Windows, but when I manage my servers I love using Linux and when I need to do web-dev stuff too.
