I think you’re wrong. It’s showing that Linux has the capability to actually run these games. Some/most people won’t be able to equate the Linux on their handheld with Linux on a desktop, but those who do are welcome to the fold.
The Deck is basically a laptop in a handheld form factor, so no, it’s not just showing that Linux can game as a handheld.
I don’t think there is any doubt on if the games that are steam deck compatible are runnable by steam deck. That’s the bare minimum for device support. I don’t think a lot of people are using their decks as a desktop and this just see it as a handheld. Rarely I’ve heard of more people putting windows on their steam deck than people switching their desktop to Linux because of steam deck.
Well, we can agree to disagree.
I have 2 friends who decided to switch their daily driver PCs to Linux after getting a steamdeck, that’s 2 out of 5. Not a single one of those 5 has put windows on their deck. shrugs
