    In my case it’s a sign I might should try out PC gaming again. I’ve been console exclusively for like 15 years now because so few games used to work. But with Steamdeck’s popularity we might actually start seeing more than 10% of games getting native ports 🤞

      At this point we don’t even need native ports. Developers can just make a windows version and we can play it with proton

        Having more developers natively release for Linux implies removing influence from Windows and making more people realize it is a viable option for daily computer use.

        It’s not just about gaming at this point, it’s about changing an entire paradigm and erode monopolies.

        Can you imagine a Linux “monopoly” on personal computers? The dumb discussions about using Arch, Fedora, Debian or Suse? It would only be hot air escaping mouths because under the hood every development on one side is feeding improvement into the entire ecosystem.
