I sure see a lot of people moving to, or talking about moving to #Linux, as #Microsoft continues to bumble the whole #Windows 11 thing, and I see a lot of the people who do switch remarking about how easy and even fun it is to use (especially #KDE) and how their aging hardware is suddenly running like it did back on Win 7 or 8....

With all the time and work that has gone into Linux and the #OpenSource #Software that is easily available for it, leading to the current "better than Windows" situation, on top of #Valve pushing all this #Wine/#Proton support with #SteamDeck's #Arch based #SteamOS, and Microsoft failing to convince consumers in this round of "we won't write software for your computer that still runs well so go buy a new one.", could this be Linux's time?

Like I'm not saying it's going to overtake Windows in popularity, but damn, it's starting to feel closer to mainstream by the day...

Two features I wish the steam deck had:

- when using an external monitor, play games using that resolution. It's quite annoying to have to go into the steam settings for each game to set them to 1080p
- don't show the onscreen keyboard if I have a physical keyboard connected. Like come on, that's basic stuff

Hoping someone has an easy solution to these I'm missing
