    As a new and proud father of a Steam Deck I don’t understand the fuss. Linux is easy and a lot of fun /s

      But Linux actually is easy and a lot of fun!

      It’s just that choosing a distro like Arch that requires you to decide what software you want to install might be a bad idea for someone who doesn’t know yet what software they need.

      Installing a distro like openSUSE is straight forward and easy through their graphical installer, albeit not exactly quick (at least not compared to Arch) and allows you to explore Linux at your own pace.

      Using the SteamDeck was also very easy but maybe that was just because I daily drive Arch? At least getting EmuDeck to run is just point and click.
