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.

@gamingonlinux People need to learn the difference between "this is different" and "this is bad".

@thomholwerda YES and not to install some random ass Linux distro by 1 person and expect it to work the same as Windows

@gamingonlinux Yes! But that's also partly the community's fault for insisting on recommending jank Arch-based distributions to newcomers for some reason.

Fedora, Mint, or Ubuntu. That's what you offer to newcomers. Anything else is going to be problematic.

@thomholwerda @gamingonlinux Or maybe Pop!_OS? @system76 does a pretty good job of ensuring that it just works out of the box.
