You literally said

installing HGL or any other launcher is going to be both inconvenient and require a level of investigation that most people don't care to bother with when they can just hit "buy" on the store.

This reads to me that think Valve are going to make installing shit harder. I'm arguing that at the moment it's easy to do and Linux is an open platform. Nothing like a walled garden

No that's not what I meant

Alright, I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I think Valve has done a fantastic job with the Steam Deck and I love it's openess. The Steam Deck made me aware of how good Linux has become and is the reason I ditched Windows on my desktop computer
