Good to know! Thank you for explaining it.
I would very much so run it on my laptop, tbh, if it used GNOME. Lol
You don't need SteamOS to game on Linux. I've heard good things about Bazzite, and there other Linux distros that focus on gaming.
I've been considering switching my deck to bazzite, tbh, because I prefer gnome so much, and I like being to use desktop mode when I'm out. I got a tiny Bluetooth mouse keyboard combo that looks like a remote or flat controller. I'm the only one who drives in my family, so I spend a lot of time just sitting in the car, waiting at doctors and stuff. It's nice being able to take just one device and work on school work or something.
You can do that with SteamOS too. It launches into Steam Big Picture, but you can exit it and just use it like a computer. It can do everything a computer can do. I don't own one but have used one, and I think it was running KDE, not Gnome, but I don't really recall. You can install whatever DE you want though. There's no need to switch distros unless you want to.
