What is holding back users to switch to Linux? Games. For everything else a normal, slightly tech savvy user would want, there’s Linux alternatives. Games are the only deal breaker. If the steam deck forces/encourages game publishers to support Linux, that’s also a good thing for desktop usage.
Oh, I think it means great things, but I’m just pointing out that more people are switching to Linux for gaming than they are moving to Linux for a desktop. I think that will translate into more people being willing to try it as a desktop experience, 100% agreed.
Then think about what that means.
