I was wondering if steam deck’s existence made linux gaming better for you folks who do not have a deck yet game on a linux machine, as im afraid it did nothing for me at all. I’m trying to see if its failure to influence my side of linux gaming is purely anecdotal.

Thanks!

    @altair222 I think it has absolutely been a net-win, compatibility has been improving. And there’s a ton of progress that was made prior to the Steam Deck even being released that was (in hindsight) Valve gearing up to make something like it. It’s also nice for there to be a defined (fairly lightweight!) platform for people to be aiming for when making PC ports. That being said I haven’t seen too many Steam Deck users fall into being general Linux enthusiasts.
