Touché. I would like to counter that with "Not a desktop though" and end my turn with "wine required to use company software"
Between Microsoft's open source Vulcan enhancements and Valve's everything else enhancements both being contributed upstream, "Wine required" doesn't have quite the same punch it used to.
Pours myself a shot for having to thank Microsoft
Weak punches are still punches
Tell that to your dreams
My dreams don't hurt :(
that's also not true because it could be used as a desktop all the same
It is very true. Nobody buys a steamdeck to be a desktop replacement. Nobody does work on a steamdeck. It might theoretically work, but most steamdeck owners game on it and thats it.
I dont think you're right about that. Browse through the steam deck subreddit and community here and you'll see plenty of posts of people using the steam deck for work and productivity as well as gaming. I myself use it both as a console and as a laptop more or less. Its a very nice portable Linux desktop
Damn
