The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’

You just said you've never used a Steam Deck. Multiple people have told you why what you're saying is ridiculous.
What more elaboration are you looking for?
You just said you've never used a Steam Deck.
Correct, have yet to touch SteamOS.

How is what I said ridiculous? Is the market all of a sudden no longer Windows dominated?
I get it, SteamOS is essentially Steams Big Picture mode locked down however, the minute someone wants to mod one of their games using software made for Windows that they find on Nexus mods or Se7enSins they’ll run into issues or a novel of documentation for a workaround.
The vast majority of people don’t want to sit and troubleshoot for hours on end for a single mod, they want it to work out of the gate and that’s where SteamOS/Linux currently falls flat.

As someone else pointed out, you're basically calling a PS5 difficult because it runs BSD and that must mean people need to tinker and use the terminal to make things work.

Cool, when’s the last time you popped a terminal on your PS5 to mod Skyrim? Oh right, never—it just works. BSD isn’t the issue; forced tinkering is.

You're forced to mod Skyrim to play it?
Who's forcing you to tinker? Are they in the room with us right now?

Is the gun to your head invisible or just your comprehension? Modding requires workarounds—nobody forces you to breathe either, yet here you are.

No shit, Sherlock. On any platform.

So Windows is "any platform" now? Cute.

Are you really going to pretend modding on Windows doesn't require tinkering/workarounds?
That's basically what modding is.

Oh right, because dragging mods into a folder is exactly like compiling kernel patches. Keep gatekeeping suffering, martyr.

You don't have to compile kernel patches to mod games on SteamOS. Why are you making things up?

Oh, so drag-and-drop mods are equivalent to kernel hacking now? Keep rewriting history, it's adorable.

Why are you still pretending drag-and-drop mods are the pinnacle of suffering? Keep deflecting, it’s precious.
