Just installed Pop OS a few days ago and already got the survey, so I guess I'm helping?

That said, gaming on Linux is still a bit too fiddly to set up for your average person. Out of the 6 games I played so far, I had to tinker with 3 of them to get them running, despite having none of these problems on a Steam Deck. Though the common theme seems to be non-Steam launchers (Ubisoft Connect, Riot Games and FFXIV) causing them.

For non-gaming purposes (browsing, programming, multimedia) on the other hand it's been smooth sailing.
