A lot of Linux works out of the box now. If folks started selling preconfigured Linux machines like you can buy for windows, that's all most people need. Valve is following a good strategy

Yeah, I have a steam deck and I've used the desktop a few times, just to check stuff out, but I very easily could have overlooked it completely. It's perfectly possible for a linux computer to be as easy to use as a console.
