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.

Last year I was about 75 linux / 25 deck but this years its 100% deck. In my case the deck is much better than my laptop for gaming but its also so easy to pick up and jump into a game.

My desktop is quite a bit better than the Deck, but the Deck is good enough and more convenient, so it wins. I still play strategy games and other KB+m heavy games on the Deck, hence the 25%.
