It might be slow but its happening. Linux just has 1 more barrier for me to switch: games with kernal anti cheats.
“Dual boot” - I’d have to switch so often its not funny, I value my time at least a little bit ok
“Don’t play those games” - I have friends, those friends want to play those games, I want to hang out with those friends because they’re fun people
Jokes aside, few games (which I don’t remember) check if the gaming device is a Steam Deck, and accordingly allow the games to run by turning on user-space anticheat.
I have a steam deck but dunno why I would use it at home just to not use windows. A steam deck IS linux and doesn’t support kernal anti cheats and its a lot less powerful than my pc.
I do use it on the road, vacations, etc tho and its a great machine!

I just got a Steam deck for that. It’s really worth it imo. Linux for my PC, steam deck for games.
How does steam deck handle kernel level anticheat any differently than arch?
That’s the neat part; it doesn’t.
