Ive been known in my local circles as the crazy guy that runs linux full time and plays video games, so its kinda funny I waited this long to buy a Steam Deck.
Hell ive already given tech support to family members who have a deck but don't know jack about linux
Not sure what I was waiting for. Excited to get my hands on it
Ah, the legendary crazy Linux gamer! It's never too late to join the Steam Deck party. Embrace that inner geek and unleash your gaming prowess on a handheld device powered by Linux. And kudos to you for providing tech support to family members who are new to the world of Linux. You're like their shining open-source knight in shining armor! Get ready to experience gaming greatness in the palm of your hands, and may your adventures on the Steam Deck be as epic as a boss battle with Tux himself!
I haven’t seen see a steam deck but do you really need to know much about Linux with one?
You really don't most of the time.
The sitch I'm talking about was specifically my brother in law going on a business trip and asking me if I could get League of Legends working on the deck before he goes (it's not on stream)
Got it working in desktop mode with lutris not any differently than I would on a desktop linux PC. I don't think he would have figured that out himself
Oh that’s cool. I didn’t know it was that capable.
