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've seen creators praise the Steam Deck's desktop for how simple it is and how refined the whole experience is using the hardware for gaming/productivity... then said they'd still prefer using the ROG Ally (from a software perspective) despite rambling about how buggy Windows and Armory Crate are most of the video, simply because it's what they're used to using their whole life.

Fair enough, people have preferences and I get + respect that, but the reasoning just doesn't compute for me.
