Or they value an os that works out of the box with the vast majority of hardware. Even valve and steamos is on proprietary hardware has a ton of issues. Windows is God awful but I didn't have to run a script on every boot up to set my HDMI device as a default. Or have to reboot my device every time I turn off my TV because HDMI can't connect. And none of my controllers, 8bitdo, ps5ds, xbox360, work wirelessly without latency issues ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
The stubbornness of the community to acknowledge this continues to hamper improving the situation.
I give money and use bazzite+ my steam deck to support foss, but I'm not blind to the numerous issues that need to be fixed before Linux is less ignored.
Well fuck me they are real
What the fuck have you been trying that you have to jump through so many hoops? Hanna-Montana Linux? I get that some distros don't work with some hardware unless you get down and dirty with some tweaking, but in my case, I only had that issue once with an Alienware laptop and Linux mint, because of the NVIDIA card, but that was 11 years ago. Never again since. How does that compare to having to hunt down drivers to make everything work in windows unless you purchase a computer with windows pre-installed for it to work 'out of the box'. If you reinstall, good luck with that.
And even if some distros don't play nice with NVIDIA cards from first install, they will still give you a display to allow you to get it to work correctly, so there's that.
Honestly, by all means, stay on windows. I'm happy on the penguin side of things, you're happy on the... whatever that side of the spectrum happens to be right now.
Most people are also just not going to bother changing their OS lol. Most steam deck users are using Linux and most PC users are using windows.
I think it's like why people don't change the engine in their car, sure you could could get a better one but most people are happy with their engine and don't want to mess with it
