I'm not surprised it works that way on between steam deck and steam deck and the architecture is identical in terms of what steam needs

    It's not identical? They are different architectires.

    What does the architecture of the CPU have to do with the disk format? Nothing lol, linux arm can use ext4, btrfs, xfs etc same as it's x86 counterpart

    Despite being ARM CPUs and Linux based machines, I'm pretty sure most of what they play is Windows x86 binaries.

    What I will find fascinating is that if Linux does get a major foothold this might be the way that we actually transition off of x86 because of having all these different translation layers and then we can start creating new and interesting CPU architectures that would be more efficient than stuff that's been sitting from the 80s but still having the backwards compatibility through translation layers

    Guessing the disk format used between both systems is identical too (at least from what I saw on my steam deck when using the tool integrated into SteamOS big picture)

    Well the great thing about Linux is that it supports so many different file formats it doesn't really matter but yeah it's probably going to be exfat for the SD cards and ext4 for hard drive
