    Why are some in quotes?

      $ cat /etc/os-release 
      NAME="Arch Linux"
      PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
      (...)
      

      Because this is how distributions declare their names

      Because that’s people not using Arch Linux but “Arch Linux”.

          It’s actually Ubuntu with the default Arch wallpaper.

      Just a guess, maybe those don’t have explicitly set distribution names and are basically named by Valve themselves.

      Same here, for some reason my covid hobby was learning a new keyboard layout and while I now prefer using Dvorak, my attempts at remapping key bindings like cut/copy/paste on linux has has been unreliable at best, and then switching between Dvorak and QWERTY for games that don’t support layout-agnostic controls usually doesn’t even register (at least on the steam deck it doesn’t seem to)

        have you tried keyd? I only use it for a few very simple remaps, but it’s got tons of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in.

      There are phone vendors like murena (not a manufacturer i think) who have some privacy OS preinstalled so you dont have a rooted phone that gets blocked for “privacy concerns”

      If you are unsure if the apps you need work you can install waydroid on linux

      Mint is pretty much the best distro. It’s what I recommend to everyone.

    I love to see it.

    Each time I see posts like this, I hope to see adobe announce they are making linux versions of their software. Whether you like it or not, a lot of people do not switch because of adobe.

      Definitely surprised to see it’s such a low percentage that it was swept under the Other category.

      They did not use their brains enough.

      Just use linux, it can do literally everything (via VMs) linux can; but better, faster and more customizable.

        It’s okay, it’s AMD, so it mostly works. I had trouble with my Bluetooth, but then remembered that I don’t really care enough to fix it.
