Just had a chat with a gamer friend who was ditching Windows for good and switching to https://bazzite.gg/. I'll probably do so as well. Apparently I've been needlessly scared of Linux and I had missed that SteamDeck encourages devs to make games work for Linux.

If you aren't playing a game that has kernel mode anti cheat, like League of Legends, then your gaming experience will probably be the same if not better.

Bazzite is great.

Linux has come SO far. I first tried it about a decade ago, wrecked my install, and came crawling back to Windows. A few months back, I installed Ubuntu (tease all you want, peanut gallery, it's better than Windows) on my laptop and it's so much better. It just works great, I have my system customized to how I want it to work, and the poor CPU fan is no longer blasting even when the system is idle. My battery life also gained almost an hour.
