About games - not only I can play basically everything in my Steam library, but even installing things from other sources is very easy with minor tinkering.

From the point of view of devs it is very worth it, because even though steam might take as big of a cut as Apple (at first, and debatable) this is on what wouldn't be sales otherwise so it ends up being better in the long run.

I had purchased the game on Steam and they weren’t compatible for cross-platform play.

I finally got to Disco Elysium a few months ago... and am working on the Pedestrian now.

I installed steam, proton, downloaded a few games from my library, and they just worked on install, no stuffing around at all, no searching the web for fixes to get it going.

I downloaded Steam and immediately jumped into my saves from BG3, Cyberpunk, Claire Obscur, and more, like nothing happened.

I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly Windows only games run on Linux.

It almost never manages to start a Windows game. I will click the green Play button... then shortly after silently switches back to the green Play button again, without any visible error and without actually starting the game.

Have you looked at daily Steam releases lately? It's 90% AI-generated hentai games, asset flips, or AI-generated hentai asset flip games.

It took Valve from the Deck's launch in February 25 to September 2022 to have buggy beta support of features you would need to make it usable on a 4k TV, such as giving the user the option of changing the resolution to 1080p.

Had to switch from Wayland to Xorg for remote play and being returning user after couple years it wasn't straightforward, but it works much better.
