Honestly I love the Steam Deck for getting Linux into people's hands in a way that's easy and Just Works :tm:. They've not replaced the OS on their Steam Deck at all, which is a win not just for Valve but the Linux ecosystem as a whole.

Though, the only issue my friends has had is transferring files to and from the Steam Deck if their main PC runs Windows or Mac. There are a multitude of varyingly convenient options but all of my friends have literally just plugged an external hard drive through the sole USB-C port lol. Linux has to cater to people who won't even install third-party drivers.

Yup Steam Deck is a great example of Linux falling in end-users hands in the right way to drive adoption. The average person doesn’t even have to care that it is indeed running on Linux.
