Also, we’re talking average users here
Ah yes, the average user who deals with mounting hard disk partitions all the time…

We were talking about average users.
I work in IT. I see average users all the time. They don’t even know drag and drop is a thing. One tool my employer is a distributor for heavily relies on drag and drop for a specific feature (adding and reordering favorites).
It’s like explaining eating soup with a spoon to a baby.
windows took away moving the task bar.
Only by default. It can be put in its proper place with an addon like Start11. Obviously it would be better if MS put the option back but I also Installed 3rd party Gnome extension when I was still a Gnome user, so not too different in that regard.
A steam deck isnt practical for a lot of things
I use a docked Steam Deck with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse all the time. It’s a regular PC.
(i assume from pictures, i dont own one)
Then watch video reviews as well. Your lack of knowledge doesn’t invalidate what I wrote. This is literally the first result on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ0KxIzdyR8
Its also pretty expensive by my countries standard
It’s not expensive by comparison to other PCs with similar hardware.
You’re arguing with a person that says that Linux sucks, yet also says that people should use a Linux PC because ChromeOS is a Gentoo-derived Linux distribution. That person is obviously trolling at this point.
But in both examples, they are not interacting with the Linux UI whatsoever, which is the thing we are discussing.
The UI of SteamOS is a Linux UI. What else would it be?
If you’re trolling, at least do some of the classics like confusion about too many UIs but denying that the UI of SteamOS isn’t a Linux UI is just dumb.
Nvidia has 90% of the discrete GPU market.
Windows has 90% of the OS market. I guess, Linux can just pack its things then. Windows forever. 🙄
Kind of important that things work there.
Tell Nvidia. Their crap driver is proprietary. Nothing anyone but Nvidia can do.
So that’s an irrelevant example.
SteamOS is Linux.
The average Steam Deck user does not even know it’s running Linux. How it’s going: millions sold and counting.
Average people don’t even use networked drives. What are you talking about?
They’re happy with Chrome and Steam.
Linux supports anti cheat just fine, just not Windows kernel root kits.
Yes, not super long ago but since a year or so.
Shit, nobody tell that guy about Powershell on Windows and homebrew on macOS.
Fact is, nobody is stopping you from dual booting.
Windows may brick Linux but not the other way around.
ProtonDB is known well enough at this point, you can be expected to look up these games yourself.
Plasma has that. If you use a convenience distribution, the underlying drivers should be available out of the box.
If not, file a bug report with the distribution. Things like these can be expected to ship pre installed.
If you chose a “fiddle yourself” distribution like Arch, blame nobody but yourself.
LucidNightmare tries artificially complicated ways for niche use cases instead of going the straightforward path and then complains all the time how bad Linux isn’t for average users, as if those would meddle with network drives, disk partitions, etc. at all.
