My point is that the majority of steam deck owners are likely only vaguely aware of the existence of desktop mode, if they even know about it.

But, it's really easy to assume that the communities that discuss Linux and the steam deck have the same knowledge that the general population does, but the truth is the majority of people just bought a gaming handheld to play games and will likely never leave big picture mode

Just because the deck has a full fledged Linux OS doesn't mean that it is going to speed up Linux adoption. And Desktop mode isn't exactly the best transition OS for laypeople.

Exactly. People on Lemmy think Lemmy users are representative of the general population when in fact even knowing about Lemmy means you have more technical knowledge than the average person.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of Deck owners don't even know Desktop Mode exists.

It ships with Linux, but the majority of users aren't going to be using anything other than steam in big picture mode.

Bro, you're on a forum where most people have technical knowledge beyond that of a standard user.

The Lemmy population is by no means representative of the general population.

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I'm not super knowledgeable about MS-13.

Exactly. The population would basically need to double to be able to bring manufacturing back here.

Sometimes it's really hard to figure out if I'm actually suffering from persistent depressive disorder, or if I'm just smart enough to know how fucked everything is.

That's kinda like saying Android is helping the mass adoption of Linux.

Good ol rose colored glasses.

That's not how anecdotal evidence works. Just because you aren't aware of it being different for others doesn't mean it wasn't different for others.

Hey look, blatant genocide.

They're probably ignoring your ticket because other tasks have a higher priority. Don't complain to the IT staff, complain to the C-suite who treat them like a burden.

Your experience isn't necessarily universal.

That's cute to think elections can stop this.

Very few people actually feel like doing their prescribed PT regardless of the reason for it, so that's nothing new.

As opposed to them intentionally dumping them in the ocean so they don't lose their budget.

It can't work without a few hundred million immigrants, and we're going in the opposite direction.

Don't forget MSM sane washing everything he does.

I mean, gangs use symbology in their tattoos all the time. Same with Nazis. I'm not saying that's what his tattoos mean at all, it's just that such tattoos absolutely exist and are common.

They definitely still exist
