I bought a Steam Deck to get away from Windows entirely. I'm not a huge fan of Apple for a lot of reasons, so eventually I'm looking to move to a Linux development environment, but at this point I don't think it's ready. To be honest, I'm not sure what to do anymore. I hate the modern Operating ecosystem. I find little value in the additions, and the ever encroaching privacy issues is really problematic. For now I can keep it at bay with MacOS and SteamOS. But where do I go after this?
