Fair point. But even so I think SteamOS has the most viable potential to achieve something like a 5-10% adoption rate that could get entities like nVidia to pay more attention.
It’s pretty much just graphics cards at this point and games. Printer is weirdly enough work better on Linux then when I first started back in 2010. It used to be that everything was proprietary weirdness nowadays you just plug and play on Linux and then it’s Windows where you have to mess with drivers. Personally I switched away from all in ones and just got a flatbed scanner so I never have to worry about needing that feature. I still need a good printer that isn’t on the Israel BDS boycott and is cheap to operate on a per page basis. I feel like if printers weren’t a scam more people would use them for more stuff again
As you’re a Linux user, I would assume that you’ve heard about brother laser printers. Why not one of them? Or a used version if they’re on the boycott list? Aftermarket toner is cheap for them
I thought the holdup was the graphics drivers (Nvidia mostly) not the de. Normal desktop mode with KDE works fine on my steamdeck.

Lol can’t disagree with you there, they just need to release it already!

I used to have one and I was happy with it but I was foolish enough not to take it with me last time I moved. Is that still the consensus pick?
Maybe 2 weeks ago accusations were flying that brother bricked printers using aftermarket ink after a firmware update.
Evidence was scant, and brother insists they aren’t doing that. So if you do get one, maybe don’t update the firmware.
