At least give GOG a try
GOG is the GOAT, but this meme misses the mark.
it's not a wrong meme but valve is ok to do this because the device, like many consoles, is a loss leader.
however, try to even find the Linux desktop mode on a ps5/xbox... in this way we're still treated above and beyond what's industry standard.
microsoft, on the other hand, has overstayed their welcome so often and so obnoxiously, people just don't want any of their shit
It's been a minute since I set up my steam deck, is it not possible to get into desktop mode without signing into a steam account?
You can use Desktop Mode without a steam account.
This meme is just dumb and contrarian. They're comparing an OS to a games distribution platform that requires user accounts to function.
