Steam Decks now outnumber Macs on Steam.

Yea, and those are a fully fledged Debian install. With some tweaks of course. The whole thing with programs only installing as flatpacks is annoying, but still quite useable.

It's growing more and more evident that my next pc build will be Linux.

Consumers eat this shit up though. When this business model was exclusive to television and television was free and I could just record it all with my VCR and then fast forward the ads and keep the shows, I didn't protest, but now even games spam the gamer with ads and reserve the ability to disable/revoke all our purchases at any time for any reason. Backups are useless if they won't play without logging into an account, where the service was discontinued five years ago.
