I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn't run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it's not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.

Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.

Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api

which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can't run it same for waydroid.

and its just starting, its about to get even worse

Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha.

I miss fire hopping in Mario kart :(

the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels

negligible compared to the pal display and jet engine noise?

well for the first part why overcomplicate it you just invented it. second part of your description couch co-op? from castle crashers to ultimate chicken horse?

I kinda wished you were able to back up your claims. The Steam deck can install flatpacks through discover just fine.

Bazzite doesn't support the 64GB version of the deck. It's the version I own.

I run a rebased kionite to bazzite on my desktop pc, so its not like I hate Bazzite, I love it.

All in all not a very sensible recommendation, in my opinion the risk of bricking far outweigh the aesthetic appeal to run Wayland apps.

Can you elaborate in which use case bazzite is better on deck than stock steamOS? Whats the difference in terms of battery life? What are the tradeoffs?
