    I love it. It is the best purchase decision I made in years. I am lazy - I prefer to play on Steam Deck than on my gaming laptop.

    However, yesterday I tried to play Remnant 2 on Steam Deck. I was not expecting fireworks, but at least decent 30fps. IMO Game is unplayable on SD. Barely reaches 30fps. Fan spins like crazy. It works great on my laptop.

    I can’t wait for a Steam Deck hardware refresh.

      Bought a second drive to run Linux on my gaming PC. It’s been a month and I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows yet. I had some initial troubles during installation but it’s smooth sailing since. After owning the Steam Deck for 1+ year and already running Linux on my laptop, it was the last step towards ditching Windows entirely.

    Around 2020 I ditched Windows for good, got me a high end AMD gaming rig, installed Ubuntu, regretted it, moved to Manjaro and been happy ever since.

    I’d started dualbooting with NobaraOS about a year ago, and recently deleted windows entirely. I haven’t run into a game I want to play yet that isn’t compatible.

    I just bought a new NVME SSD as I need to reinstall Windows anyway. I am seriously considering at least dual booting Windows and Linux or just going full Linux at once. You guys in here and the Linux community on Lemmy show me that it is possible to escape Windows without too much trouble, even for a Linux newb like me.

    Okay, I am not a complete newb, I have set up a few Raspberry Pis and do run a unRAID server, but I have never seriously used Linux as a daily driver on my desktop or laptop.

      Dual boot on separate disks is pretty nice. You can even load up your Windows install inside a VM on your Linux drive
