Didn’t subOP argue for locking yourself to Steam storefront though? Yeah, you’ll get bigger choice of hardware (which comes with cool stuff like shader stutter) but you’re still at mercy of commercial entities in many ways.
I play on many different platforms (or should I say - lock myself into multiple ecosystems?), Linux included, so it’s supper funny when people go full Linux jihad on me. It’s annoying that it happens so often here and I know it’s a bubble but in an ideal world that should lead to honest discussions and not doing sales pitches for increasingly niche solutions nobody asked for.
That’s a good point, though I’ll say you can play non-steam games on the steam deck (even switch emulation!) and upgrade some of the hardware yourself like the SSD, so there’s some wiggle to that particular lock. In any case, I hope you enjoy whatever your setup is, proprietary or otherwise.
