I think it's totally fair that people would want to stick with what they know and would find a new operating system intimidating. But, I think some of this push back is kind of warranted since people act like you can't play any games on Linux or that the Steam Deck is stupid because it has Linux and isn't compatible with absolutely every game, and I think that's sort of misguided. An astonishing amount of stuff just works these days, and while I wouldn't say a Windows user should switch to Linux unless they have a good reason to, I think some people might be doing themselves a disservice if they're avoiding the Steam Deck because they think it won't play their games (with caveats about anti-cheat and multiplayer of course!)
