  To be fair, it’s just because windows is the most used and common desktop operating system and the two OSs are different. People would be confused about windows too if the tables were turned.

    Also the Linux community is toxic and overcomplicates things for no reason.

      This is true to a large extent. No one goes out of their way to make Linux easy.

      Don’t get me started on GitHub.

        I see you’re getting down voted and I feel for you. Linux is a breeze if you know what you’re doing and git if the dev knows what they’re doing. But if you’re not an it wizard or very much an enthusiast, Linux just is more complex.

        So this is nothing for you, but more to the gatekeepers downvoting you

  What’s confusing about wine prefixes apart from the fact that wine itself doesn’t come with a graphical interface to manage them? On a Deck, Steam should handle these for you

    Calling them “prefixes” is about the total of the confusion. Call them “instances” or even just “boxes” and it’s suddenly clear what they do.

    (The only reason I’m not using “sandbox” is because they don’t really provide sandboxing from a security point of view, only a kind of separate instance with its own configuration but with access to everything via the Z drive)

    Once you figure out what using a different “wine prefix” only really means a separate “Windows” with it’s own config there’s nothing confusing about it.

      Oh I know what prefixes are. Configuring them is the bitch part

        I just use Lutris, which generally does most of that work for me.

  I was led to believe you could put windows on steamdeck? Am I wrong? I don’t have one.

    You definitely can. The UI from Steam OS (Linux based) is much better though.

    You could, but you wouldn’t
