I'm one of those weirdos that never thought the screen looked bad to begin with. I'm interested in the upgrade of course, but I can give it another year. The software upgrades alone make it feel like I'm running a new Steam Deck compared to when I got it 1.5 years ago.

A cautionary tale of when the ugliness unside morphs the flesh into a lumpy miscolored mass of dangling skin

I've tried this also. It works alright unless you write files in Windows, it will set the UID to the Windows SID. WHen you use a Steamlibrary and move back and forth, games that are updated in Windows can give you permission errors in LInux, etc.

It's all workable and definitely an option, but WinBTRFS has a performance overhead, and the dualing permissions made it not a perfect solution.

The NTFS warning is a little disingenuous. I wouldn't recommend people go with it if they're choosing Linux only obviously, but I'm going to say with years of personal testing about 99.9% of things work just fine using an NTFS drive. I think it's been years since I had any kind of issue with game data that I attributed (and maybe falsely) at the time to the NTFS filesystem.

In steam you'll need to symlink your compatdata folder to a linux filesystem, but that's about it.
