it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

Since when do you have to live and breathe command lines to use SteamOS?

But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

Yeah, there's only one person talking out of their butt here.

But there has been the occasional ‘Steam Deck Verified’ game like Cthulhu Saves The World which soft locks on a black screen after battles.

Oh well, I guess if you have a problem with one verified game then we should all write off the entire platform then.

I agree, for the lay person the steamos experience in the deck is great and has no issues it installs things it plays things, most people won't need to open the desktop experience at all

I have installed heroic (Epic Games games) and many other things without touching the terminal (also it's read-only so...)

What is read-only?
