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"?)
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).
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)
