Oh, neat, I remember borrowing money from friends to buy one shortly after release, and spending many months repaying it. My main thought process, besides it being a cool PC, was "the higher the statistics, the better the outlook for Linux adoption". :D
Can barely believe it's been three years already.
This why I bought 3 of them. The 2 I gave to my family members is probably collecting dust but oh well.
hi, its me your family member
I also bought a few steam decks to “support” Linux. All the work steam did for Linux gaming was such an incredible great thing for the world!
Bought the 512gb for me, then bought the 64gb for my wife. She got my 512gb ssd when I upgraded to 1tb.
We are both happy with it, and soon after we upgraded our computers to Linux.
The only computer without Linux is an older intel MacBook with macOS and windows for when I really need it. (Running specific tools for modding, hacking, firmware updates, etc). I rarely use it but it comes in handy every few months.
Doing the Lord's work. 🫡
