People will put more effort in installing Windows on the Steam Deck than learning how to use Linux (kbin.social)

People install Windows when they want to play games that only run on Windows.

It's this primarily.

Secondarily Linux is still a pain in the ass in a lot of ways. I've been playing with Linux for a few years now after being exposed to it at work. I love Linux but when I dual booted (Ubuntu) and tried to daily drive it a year and a half ago on my desktop it was a nightmare. I literally came back after one day and nothing worked. Sometimes I'm down to troubleshoot, sometimes I just want games to work. Granted, Proton has come a long way and most of what I try on the Steam Deck just works.
