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.
