Steam deck compatibility helps people with low spec PCs the ability to play new games.
More importantly it helps people radicalised by Stallman to play games on their GNU/linux machines (kidding)
I know you are kidding, but after the failed Steam Machines, the Steam deck has made people realize that gaming on Linux is mostly viable. Microsoft has pissed me off enough with windows 11, that I have decided to switch to Linux as my main OS on desktop as well.
I switched some years ago away from 7 when 10 came out and the “free” upgrade nuked itself and its partition into an unrecoverable state. Windows and Linux can both be their own hassle in different ways, but at least with Linux I got control back over my operating system, and that felt so damn good.
Tim Sweeney (crying): “There’s no future in Linux gaming. No! Stop it! Stop enjoying the good thing that isn’t from me!!!”
I don’t even want to use EGS on Windows. Steam may be clunky, but Epic is unusably slow.
The heroic games launcher is decent, works on Linux as well
I have so many games in my EGS library. Thank god for Lutris. Lmao
Heroic launcher is also an option for EGS on Linux.
