Comment on The Plucky Squire recently came out, and used the Steam Deck to represent PC
grue@lemmy.world 1 month agoLook, if they’re gonna use a device running Linux instead of Windows to represent “PC,” I sure as Hell ain’t gonna complain about it even if it is a handheld!

I just want to say I’m right there with you, and I was trying to make that clear while still explaining my thoughts on why the Steam Deck isn’t really a “gaming PC”. It could just be the old man in me, but the Deck PRESENTS itself as a console on startup, and to do anything beyond that you have to restart the device. For the general public restarting the device is a huge barrier. Again though, I’m happy the Steam Deck exists and hope that game companies in general will get their head out of their ass and start making more games run natively on Linux. Even with devices that have better performance and look like an upgrade I immediately discount them as an option the moment I see they are running Windows.
