XDA claim they're a "leading tech publication".

They published an article titled: "Why I like Linux on my Steam Deck but not my desktop"

-> Uses tiny and basically unsupported obscure Linux distribution to make a case against it on the desktop.

-> Also thinks somehow Proton is only on Steam Deck?

Please, if you're going to publish a Linux article, get your writers to do more than 1 minute research into it.

There's this weird repeating problem of people expecting to instantly know how something works, despite basically never using it.

I see this everywhere, not just Linux. In this case though, I see articles like it still *all the time* and the big issue is just to get clicks.

The expectation is there because, frankly, for the most part it's true.

When did you last crack open a manual for your smartphone, fridge, car, TV, phone app or game console? Designers have spent untold hours over decades making this largely possible.

PCs - including Windows and osx - really stand out here, in a bad way.

@jannem @gamingonlinux I am not convinced that Windows is intuitive. It is just everywhere to an extent that it has become the norm. I recently had to go back to Windows and I was lost coming from KDE.
