Well, valve and AMD have worked together on this. Apart from that, steam is a DRM platform and there is a lot of tracking going on all the time (also during login) and in games. I don’t know what the rights look like anymore, because there was a change at steam once, but steam itself should still have root/system rights somehow. In other words, it wouldn’t be a problem that anti-cheat solutions could act outside of their prefix. Maybe valve is trying to get publishers to support them with a platform they can trust. (Of course i could be complete wrong)

Gameindustry. Good stuff against tracking.

Maybe the Hardware? Easiest identifier for the deck would be the same hardware in any deck.

The question is whether the publisher will then press the brakes and generally deactivate linux support in the event of a bypass.

"You’d need to replace/add the MatchProduct directive in your xorg config file with something like this to disable the touchpad:

MatchProduct "Wireless"
MatchProduct "Controller|Adaptor"
MatchProduct "Touchpad"

Edit: dont know why you get downvoted. sad cause was just a normal question

Wait, you don’t know the sovereign EU cloud Gaia-x? Oh my, our German politicians have brought Amazon Microsoft etc on board.
All right.
Don’t you know the plans for the sovereign Germany cloud made in Germany powered by Amazon Microsoft etc.
Ah oh shit.

Because you as a Linux user still want to hang on the insecure leash of MS? Or why do you want to be forced to wait for MS again and again? UEFI is still a nasty disease and should be eradicated.

Greetings from Temple OS. The gamers choice for holy gaming.

People have the wrong ideas. Steam Deck LCD was a pure test object anyway, where they saw that there was a market, which is why Valve also released the Oled version. Valve has left the hardware open so that you can also install other OS. Valve may also see competition there, even if the competition releases more powerful hardware. Valve’s hardware is still secondary and steam, which is installed everywhere, is still their core product. The better hardware the competition brings, the more power-hungry games people will buy.

Steam Deck vs … is just nonsense.

NVMe uses SSDs as well as flash memory. NVMe is just the protocol.

That’s why I mentioned certain distributions afterwards. But thinking doesn’t seem to be one of your strengths. If you are going to compare then only with distributions that focus on gaming. Everything else is completely idiotic with the huge variety of distributions available. Of course it’s easy to choose a completely different one and then make mimimi… but you don’t try to install current games in ms-dos, for example… that would be just as much of an inane comparison.

It was never my intention to say that you have to tinker more with Windows, but that you have to tinker with Windows just like with Linux. The same applies to Macs.

I wouldn’t buy a Mac in the first place just to slap another OS on it. Why an example with a closed ecosystem? Do you even get Windows installed there and if so, with how much fiddling? There are reasons why MS uses its own linux distribution internally. Even with tabs etc and functions that other distributions have been using for decades, Windows still has problems. So stable that you still use the NT kernel… because ms is no longer capable of programming something like that and it will take several Windows versions to get rid of legacy issues… After all, the UI is no longer a single process that regularly kills the entire desktop.

What do you have to tinker with first so that you can only install a local account? Or so that the whole thing also runs on older hardware without TPM. People also have to look on the web to see what needs to be fixed during the installation… and then, depending on the version, install Manuel group policies and everything. You also have to fiddle around with Windows, which makes more and more people switch.What do you first have to fiddle around with the OS installation so that you can install with a local account?

You say it’s because of configs etc., i.e. problems caused by the user. That is a serious difference. You should also narrow it down to SteamOS, Garuda, Bazzite, CachyOS or one of the other distributions designed for gaming. After all, these are also experiencing the most growth in gaming from people leaving Windows behind.

Windows and stable? So blue screens during OS installation are stable? Windows didn’t catch on because it was stable. It stole the most important thing and then the dirty gag contracts where Intel and Nvidia were also involved. That’s the only reason why this trickery has prevailed. Windows is and always has been rubbish, but MS knew how to damage competitors and secure a monopoly position. Windows and stable are a joke.

Every OS was programmed by humans and contains errors. This does not apply to just one OS or the other. In addition, faulty software also runs on faulty hardware. From this point of view, stable is no longer possible with today’s CPUs, even if you counteract this via microcode.

Show me a stable windows desktop.(The same applies to Windows.)

No answer to your problem but since you say alt-tabber maybe virtual desktops or activities (KDE) would be something for you. Some titles are minimized when switching, but for the most part the windows remain untouched when you switch to the desktop or activity.
