I was doubtful that the Steam Deck would take off enough for game devs to even make *considerations" to think about any decisions that would improve their game's compatibility with Proton.
Even as a decades long Linux user, I never thought it would sell like it did. And that the editors followed is even more surprising.
I got one early on, even though I really have a hard time using a controller interface for the first time. So I end up not using it as much as I'd like.
I built a new gaming PC almost a year ago and decided to jump into the deep end by installing only Linux. 3 reinstalls later and Linux is still the only OS installed. So far so good. :p
Did the same when faced with the choice "Lose support, move to Win10, or jump ship entirely?" and installed Ubuntu only. It was a daunting leap for sure, but I've only looked back for one particular program that I don't actually need usually and can run inside a VM.

By 3 reinstalls do you mean you were distro-hopping, if so which did you use and what did you like?

Really excited to switch from Win7 for my older gaming desktop to Linux!
