I agree and would add that it's a particularly good time to be a Linux gamer. I recently started downloading games in Fedora on my dual booted machine and so many games support Linux officially now, I think the success of steam deck has contributed to this.
For games that don't officially support Linux, Steam's Proton means most of mine bar two run perfectly on Fedora.
I haven't booted up Windows in months, a good outcome.

Steam has been putting in the work for years. I stopped booting up Windows over 4 years ago thanks to proton and haven't had much of a reason to miss it

Honestly other than GPUs requiring a child sacrifice to moloch to access for most people - it’s been great being a computer gamer this whole time.
I do think more companies and games should consider using the touchpad approach that the deck has. Works remarkably well, once you get used to it. I really like the games that have one mapped to be the full screen, and the other more like a traditional computer touch pad.
