    I’m not sure about this one, but my understanding is that steam deck is the only one that can suspend a game mid play and have the ability to resume.

    If it were not for that, there would be times where I just don’t start a game because I only have 15 minutes.

    Now, I can do a quick ten minute game while waiting for a zoom meeting.

      Same. I love how versatile it is and suspending the games actually was a huge contributor to make a dent into my huge backlog.

      Another fun thing is that for playing older games that use Proton:

      • It might not run on Linux natively

      • It might not run on the current version of Windows

      • It might run on your specific hardware natively in Windows

      • But somehow, it still manages to run well in Wine/Proton (sometimes better than on Windows)

        Yeah, I 100% agree, I have been an exclusive Linux gamer for a few years now. It helps that I do not really play online. Just the other day, it kind of blew my mind when I thought about how far gaming on Linux has come. I think most gamers could switch over to Linux and be just fine.
