Still it will hardly increase the market share by 1 or 2%. It's because a super minority of people will bother to get the USB drive. The core issue we have to understand is "availability of preinstalled Linux on PCs in brick and mortar shops". Till this is solved, we won't get market share. The only reason people are using Linux on their SteamDeck is availability. permalink fedilink source parent
