Fair point, and I did already switch my main desktop to Linux. That said, its still a positive signal for valve and others that there IS money to be made in the Linux ecosystem. Granted, likely not much, but we can change that if we put our money where our mouth is (those of us who can).

That’s why I boguht a steam deck. The difference, imo, is that the value proposition of the Deck was far better than that of the Machine. The latter is launching with outdated specs, doesn’t really offer something novel and costs way more than it should. Although, to be fair, the current price of the steam deck is also way too high right now. Specially considering how old it is.
