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 also a very annoying manifestation of this:
looks at new thing
notes it works somewhat differently from old thing, so habits don’t transfer 1:1
‘new thing has bad accessibility!’
