It's a shame Nintendo doesn't care about their customers. I can't buy games for wii, wiiU or 3DS, but I can still get games I bought in 2005 on steam.
Your point about "it's not a pc" is strange, what constitutes a pc to you?
Gabe Newell did a whole speech on why Valve is supporting linux and free software. That's why SteamDeck isn't locked down. You can install windows, or play games on Linux from gog.com, or Epic Games, itch.io etc etc.
Steam deck is lock down, so many problems would be solved if they opened source it. Proton is a software and not the reason Steam Deck is able to run games. You can install Wine and the same result will happen. No you couldn’t install any Linux, many tried.
Trusting billionaires yes what a great answer. Why not trust Amazon, Facebook and X CEOs aswell. If you think Gable is innocent then you are ignoring the many lawsuits Valve corporations committed.
Oh I get it now, you're a troll. Never mind. Continue doing your thing.
Pretty dedicated one if so. There are comments on the account going back months talking about how valve and steam deck suck. Either got burned on a deck purchase somehow or a huge switch fanboy I figure.
Just a dedicated troll that gets giggles from saying insane things and seeing the response.
Steam deck closed Source = yes
Proof it’s not? Tell me, i know you won’t find it because it’s not open source.
Proton the reason for the ability to play windows games = yes
You can’t play windows games on Linux, unless you’re telling me otherwise.
Steam Deck has problems with smaller Linux operating environments = yes
Big Linux operating environments will always have users who support steam deck unlike smaller communities. Also, Linux that do everything to protect your privacy will never allow steam deck to function because YOU AGREE IN STEAM USER AGREEMENT. To allow the program to track you.
Valve Corporation lawsuit = yes
All current and past criminal cases here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation
Anyone here who is wrong, it’s you.
Not sure what I'm wrong about. I haven't made a single claim about any hard or software in this thread. You're sounding a bit unhinged.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

You’re contradicting yourself. The second quote is correct, and no one is debating you on that…
Also, Proton depends on Wine, so of course they perform similarly. What “result” are you referring to? It’s not clear what you’re getting at.
What element(s) of the Deck are “locked down” to its detriment? You can install Windows on it if you’d like, rendering this whole discussion about Proton pointless.
No one here is advocating that you trust billionaires. All I’m seeing is a bunch of people saying that the Deck is a good product that works well for its intended use case. What’s wrong with that?
From what I can see, none of the cases listed are criminal cases. May I ask which of these cases we should care about as consumers?
How do you not view breaking the EU laws of GEO lock has not a criminal conviction. It was put into law before Valve moved to EU. Valve knew about the law and broke it with 5 other publishers. It’s a criminal act as stated in court documents.
They are criminals.
I’m curious about this claim of theirs, but fair enough, I must have missed that one. Would you mind responding to the rest of my comment?
Oh, you mean like how Nintendo does.
