       XDA claim they're a "leading tech publication".They published an article titled: "Why I like Linux on my Steam Deck but not my desktop"-> Uses tiny and basically unsupported obscure Linux distribution to make a case against it on the desktop.-> Also thinks somehow Proton is only on Steam Deck?Please, if you're going to publish a Linux article, get your writers to do more than 1 minute research into it.

       There's this weird repeating problem of people expecting to instantly know how something works, despite basically never using it.I see this everywhere, not just Linux. In this case though, I see articles like it still *all the time* and the big issue is just to get clicks.

       @gamingonlinux People need to learn the difference between "this is different" and "this is bad".

       @gamingonlinux this article feels like satire.

       @gamingonlinux The expectation is there because, frankly, for the most part it's true.When did you last crack open a manual for your smartphone, fridge, car, TV, phone app or game console? Designers have spent untold hours over decades making this largely possible.PCs - including Windows and osx - really stand out here, in a bad way.

       @jannem @gamingonlinux I’ve learned so many practical tricks on my devices (including an old Hi-Fi stack and my car) by reading the manuals, and seen so many people struggle with things that are clearly explained, for me it’s now an obligatory step. And I still don’t understand why people insist on doing without it, when it saves so much time and is so much more pleasant to use these devices after reading the documentation…

       @gamingonlinux It's funny that people decide to write such articles and make fun of themselves. Here is a quote from article: "I still hold out hope that one day, some company will make a Linux distro that does what Windows does but better..."The point is, people use Linux, because it does not do what Windows does. Who needs another clone of Windows and why? If somebody is waiting for Windows but better, should just wait for Microsoft do make it.If you get Linux , expect Linux ;-)

       @gamingonlinux @jannem That’s because I’m lazy that I’m reading the docs. Because it save times and energy :D

       @ariadne @gamingonlinux @xerz Yeah XDA is about as trustworthy as a .exe movie on ThePirateBay.

       @gamingonlinux Oh shit that's my Steam Deck in that photo (I used to work there before going back to my old employer). The most disappointing part is that I know at least one of the other writers there could probably have made a better go at a post like that.

       @richdevine @gamingonlinux They couldn't even be bothered to capture their own Deck? Just wow.
