It’s not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too.

    I switched my gaming PC to Nobara after seeing all my games run on the Deck. I may need to dual boot for a few but I haven’t bothered setting the Windows install back up. Haven’t missed VR enough yet.

      VR will probably catch up, too, as bigger devs start to realize they’re leaving money on the table by ignoring a growing market.

          I don’t think we’ll see meaningful changes until it at least has wider market adoption on Windows. It’s still mostly a novelty at this point, even with the arrival of tech like the Apple Ski Goggles.
