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.

@gamingonlinux i honestly feel like people just detest the idea of change and so they make an intentionally poor attempt at trying the new thing just so they can go "see! It's terrible!" and not have to think about it any further.
