syberpunk: It's kind of odd. I have tinkered maybe as much as I've played games on my Deck so far, but I've always been a tinkerer. The Deck is just a new toy for me to learn because I've never used Linux before, so it has a higher level of tinkering before I can sit down and play something. And then I'm wondering if I can play something ELSE that might require tinkering and thinking about how I might solve that problem.

It really is bizarre how many SD owners resonate with this (though, there are plenty that don't). Maybe it's just indicative of how many SD owners are also new to Linux and enjoy learning the unique way things have to be set up in order to run in parity with their more-familiar Windows setups.
