As someone who duly boots linux and windows I feel like you're bullshitting here or didn't read manpages and put in a wrong command which you thought did something you wanted but actually fucked up your system

Linux is very easy to break if you want to do it intentionally due to its freedom but I'd you know how to use it correctly it'll serve you well

Yeah, I have not a clue how they bricked their steam deck just setting a sudo password, its not exactly difficult to set. That, and stuff like SSH is disabled by default on a steam deck.
