Well, almost (49/51%).

Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.

It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.

But what if I told you that the steam deck was linux

Feel this should be more of a Venn diagram tbh

Euler diagram, since a Venn diagram needs to permit for all combinations, and as you point out, some don't make sense.

You can run Windows on a Steam Deck. I don't know why you would though.

If there was a Pokemon game on PC, I would assume that's what 100% of your time was spent playing.

Actually yes. PokeMMO. I wonder whether Steam tracks this because PokeMMO is not available on Steam though.

Alternatively we got Temtem on Steam from which i heard that it‘s a good game.

It's not bad. I haven't dug too much into it but it's got the pokemon feel and I've enjoyed what I played of it.

Would you be surprised if I told you I use Android too?

Sadly my Samsung TV doesn't use Linux, and the Steam Link app just got discontinued. :(

As all things should be

Similar to my chart, split almost perfectly between Steam Deck and my main Linux system.

Awesome stuff!
