It's true though. The Steam Deck is amazing, most games just work.
I agree that the GUI part is subjective. I find even the jankiest of Linux DEs to be better than Windows 10 and 11. I still find macOS quite superior, and the one area where this is not going to change any time soon is the cohesion of UI/UX between different apps and the OS.
Performance is unbeatable on Linux. Reliability depends a lot on the hardware and distro. This fragmentation makes it less approachable "on the desktop".
- bodge5000 4y agoGlad you mentioned fragmentation, I couldn't think of the word for it and decided it best not start describing it, or you start getting into things like whether or not the distro-specific package manager is truly the best way of handling things (not saying its not), which in many eyes is heresy to even bring up. Cohesion is without a doubt better on MacOS, though again linux is getting closer. A small thing I wish I didn't notice as much as I did is the "top bar" on not-so-well built electron apps. Apps like VSCode and Electron handle this really well, but others don't (Simplenote is the only one that comes to mind). On Windows, this results in a really very striking white top bar, fine if you use a light theme, not so much for dark theme. On linux, or at least gnome, the top bar (whilst being a bit too big for my liking) much more seamlessly integrates with the rest of the OS.
