True, I don't have enough data to really make that claim. I can say that my own hardware hasn't changed in ~4 years and I've been using Steam for Linux since I built this machine. It's only within the last year or so that I started having major issues with the client.

How is first party support for the hardware and software stack "nothing special"?

Maybe it's not directly related to the rest of my comment but it's related to the OP. I also think it's indicative of Valve's issues with Linux.
- zamalek 3y ago> How is first party support for the hardware and software stack "nothing special"? Because the vast majority of that stack (the kernel, GPU driver, window manager, and so forth) has nothing to do with Valve. They might contribute drivers to the kernel (I'm not sure if they actually do - I would expect AMD to be doing that), but otherwise it's an Arch-based distro with the same Steam client and Proton runtime that everyone else is using.
- sosodev 3y agoYes, the Steam Deck is using a fairly standard stack and the default client but you're missing the point. Valve directly tests the Steam Deck and prioritizes bug fixes for it. When users report issues with other setups it often takes months for the identified bug to be fixed if it ever is.
