Like if you're gonna try to eliminate privacy and freedom, just be honest and open about your intentions.
Using the Bazzite image has replaced Windows for me. Basically everything works.
Most average people are just confused by it, but it's so important for security the focus shouldn't be getting rid of it, but figuring out how to make it buttery smooth to use.
Smartphones in my opinion are a major example of this. I can't tell you the number of people I've meet who barely even or don't even know how to use their devices. It's all black magic to them.
The largest problem is the over-dependence on the use of "Gesture Navigation" which is invisible and thus non-existent to them. Sure, they might figure out the gesture bar on an iPhone, but they have no conception of the notification/control center.
It's not that these people are dumb either, many of them could probably run circles around me in other fields, but when it comes to tech, it's not for a lack of trying, it's a lack of an intuitive interface.
Lessons Learned. The Steam Deck is the culmination of previous iterations. Even with the flop of the Steam Machines, The Steam Controller and Steam Link have ended up as Cult Classics, and there is the possibility they'll get revisions down the line, even if they end up minor niche releases.
This idea has been disastrous for modern software.
Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.
