I'm quite worried that the quality of experiences with Linux gaming in the eyes of Joe public will go down the drain once every random crap by some Chinese factory will be seen as "a steam deck" because it runs SteamOS, just like how Samsung is dog shit and gives android a bad rep because of it's weird bloatware.
The same fallacy of someone buying a $200 android, complaining it sucks, then getting a $700 IPhone, to confirm in their mind that all androids are cheap crap. Ignorant consumers are gonna ignorantly consume.
Yeah.
