Connect the Steam Deck to a compatible dock and you can quite easily use it as a desktop. At the end of the day, it's still an x64 based PC that's just handheld.

One of the biggest problems regarding Nvidia drivers is the fact that a small minority install them using Nvidia's .run script, which overwrites important libraries, resulting in a wide range of issues. I've always installed Nvidia drivers using my distro's package manager and I've never had an issue.

My overview transition is seamless running X11.

Exactly? The interface is god awful, if you’re running a dark theme then your icons will be unseeable (black on black) unless you enable experimental features. The interface is straight out of the early 2000s.

Erm. I don't have any experimental features enabled, and my icons aren't black on black as far as I can see.

I've been using only Libre Office for about the last six years for the daily running of my business and I have no problems. Furthermore, I despise the ribbon interface, give me an interface from the 2000's any day.

They're custom icons for Libre Office Write and Libre Office Calc. No MS Office here! Google Messages works perfectly as an official web app.

The possibility does exist. I think the Adobe CC hasn't been released under Linux for a similar reason, as Microsoft and Apple know that should Linux get the Adobe CC, people will flock to Linux.

A number of years back Adobe accidentally released a slide showing the Adobe CC running under Ubuntu, but strangely the product was never released on the platform.

No, Windows comes preinstalled on most PC's due to clever marketing. As stated, it's more a case of people thinking Windows is the computer as opposed to any form of comfort regarding a fragmented touch/desktop UI making poor use of screen real estate.

I come across a number of Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa types that outright struggle with Windows; the device they feel comfortable with is the iPad.

Been using FF since forever, never felt my experience was in any way slow compared to Chrome.

I think it's a Java thing?

Nvidia here under Linux, been running Nvidia hardware/drivers for about five years now with little in the way of problems. The latest hardware is supported on release, and my performance while gaming is fantastic.

Even Wayland support is maturing under Linux running Nvidia hardware/drivers, to the point whereby it's mostly as usable as Wayland gets now.

At least you have the option of running the latest Nvidia hardware under Linux, it seems dedicated GPU support under MacOS is dwindling by the month.

Does EAC work correctly playing Apex Legends under Linux? If it does I'll download the game tonight.
