I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.

I'm too happy with my keyboard and mouse to go that far! Also, some of the games I play aren't necessarily the best for the small screen/controller combo on the Deck.

Uh, you know the steam deck is just a computer right? You can plug in a mouse, keyboard, monitor, and any other peripheral you want.

Of course! But if I'm going to do that, I'll just sit down in front of my gaming PC and play everything on ultra and use an ultra widescreen monitor! I play story based and casual games some, but I also spent a lot of time in strategy games and simulators, which don't always translate well to the small screen.
