    I can install Linux on a Switch. Hell, you can emulate Switch games on a Switch.

    Go to desktop mode is not a “casual” feature at all. They barely know how to set the wifi connection, let alone manage a Linux environment…

      I can install Linux on a Switch

      I don’t need to install Linux on my Steam Deck, the software and device was designed from the ground up as a Linux computer.

        I can also install Android on the Switch if you want. I don’t care. I have both and complete freedom om both. The Switch is simply the more comfortable option hardware wise, the SD is nice for the niche stuff.

          You are making an absurd and obtuse argument, my Steam Deck functions out of the box as a normal computer.

          Steam Deck runs SteamOS 3.0, a Linux-based operating system (OS) built on Arch Linux and the KDE Plasma desktop. It’s open source with some closed source components. Here’s a quick overview:

          You are suggesting DIY installing android (eeww) as opposed to hmm… I forgot let me check how I get to the desktop on a vanilla out of the box Steam Deck running Linux.

          Hold down your Steam Deck’s power button, and select “Switch to Desktop.” Wait a few seconds, and that’s it

          Your argument is embarassingly bad, stop spreading lazy narratives when you don’t know what you are talking about.
