Lucky for you, Valve has sold millions of SteamDecks. The result is that the majority of mainstream Windows software now works well in Proton == Wine on Linux.

And despite people constantly whining about it, GNOME is ultra fast, has great shortcuts, and it looks kinda like the pinnacle of UI design, which IMHO was Windows XP.
- aboardRat4 1y agoGnome doesn't support system tray by default.
- trealira 1y agoGNOME doesn't look anything like Windows XP, though. Not the design language and not the actual layout of the UI.
- DidYaWipe 1y agoI agree that XP was the top of Windows's UI evolution (in "Classic" mode, not the default Fischer-Price motif).
- Expurple 1y agoLmfao. Despite people constantly whining about it, KDE is now stable, has good defaults, and it actually looks like Windows. It's not an accident that Steam Deck uses it.
- frollogaston 1y agoThe worst part about all of those DEs is that there's more than one. Even one OS might switch its default DE, like Ubuntu did 3? times. Just settle on one, I don't even care which. Gnome2 was fine.
- Expurple 1y agoIt won't ever fully settle, because Linux users like tinkering by their nature. But in the mainstream, it's kinda already settled on the Gnome-KDE duopoly
- frollogaston 1y agoFor now. There's also the Xorg vs Wayland thing.
- Expurple 1y agoIf I remember correctly, Wayland actually makes it harder to have more DEs/WMs because each must implement its own Wayland compositor
