Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

From a technical standpoint it’s just another linux distro with some nice tweaks for gaming but from a human perspective it has brand recognition, familiarity, a known company behind it. Those things do really matter for adoption. No idea if that’d be anywhere near enough, I’m not inclined to make predictions, but it does have explicit advantages over consumers hearing they can get a laptop with Ubuntu or fedora on it

Yeah I agree. I just don’t wanna see more apps made exclusively for SteamOS and winderp. So I feel it’s important to highlight it’s just another Linux distro.

That’s very fair! I was concerned by that video too, though I would point out that if I remember right, the games in that video don’t work on non-steamdeck devices including if you install steamos on a laptop or desktop

From my understanding of this video. That’s because they intentionally locked the game to work on the steam deck.
