    Me getting a deck was the catalyst for me, and later three other people I know switching on our main rigs. They saw it worked for me, and that was all they needed.

    Also the deck is kind of evergreen. The games that run on it aren’t going to stop running on it. The same way people still play games on GBA or PSP, I don’t see it becoming “obselete” the way laptops or phones do.

      Same for me and everyone I know.

      It’s borne out in the stats too, SteamOS is only 27% of linux use on steam. Mint increased in proportion this month as well. People are increasingly using it on desktops and laptops.
