RE: Can the Steam Deck turbo charge Linux Gaming?

I hope it is what they promise and not a total disappointment, when I hear the word console and gaming I just don't think it's going to be as perfect as they paint it.

It will be interesting to see how they adapt PC games to a console and how they will handle the crossplay issue, will PC gamers play against Steam Deck gamers as well? If so that would be quite a complex issue in the competitive arena.

And, I really find it curious why you would expect to play games using Linux based console. Whenever I think of that OS I don't associate it with gamig related stuff.
