A particularly fun bit:

So then, how about Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said when it hits "tens of millions of users" that it "would actually make sense to support it". We must be pretty close by now right? Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

The steam deck is user repairable, has very good hardware, is reasonably priced, and has fully customisable software.

Obviously can't speak for everyone but those reasons are why Valve got my custom. Personally I think it's a fantastic device and I can't praise it enough. Buying one was a no brainer for me.

(Apologies if this reads like an ad lol)

I was on the fence for ages over whether it was going to be worth it. Thought I was taking a risk when I ordered the OLED one at release on a whim. It wasn't a risk, the machine is incredible. I love it.

I'd like to tinker with the hardware but unfortunately it's just not necessary. Love the device
