Steam deck has entered the chat.
Legit Steam Deck has me almost convinced to switch my desktop to Linux
It successfully convinced me to switch over.
I'm buying a new laptop to test out a Linux environment and make sure all my shit works and everything is backed up, then I'll port it to my desktop.
I don't even own one and it convinced me.
I still rely on Windows for a few important things (namely a Club Penguin Singleplayer Client that I'm not sure works on Linux), but I absolutely will switch to Linux as soon as I'm fully ready to take the leap.
Debian seems like a nice distro (am I the only one who calls it "deebian"?)
Only way to find out is to try it. Something like Club Penguin shouldn't give you much trouble especially if you use a launcher like Lutris.
I heard Houdini has a Linux version. I might try that out, especially since it does have ActionScript 3 support (which Club Penguin started using in 2011)
what's the club penguin client called?
It's just CPSC. It requires a very specific version of XAMPP to be installed (the latest version won't work).
