Fedora recently hit top three for most installed gaming distros, and that's likely because of Bazzite (which just a Fedora Atomics Spin).
But I appreciate your explanation, and I think it's well thought. Only time will really tell what happens, but having the Steam Deck out there only helps adoption in the long term.
Oh absolutely. People can easily see what's officially supported on Linux and try games on their Steam Deck before committing to a desktop install.
I have a Steam Deck and three of my coworkers either have one or want one, and only one of them is interested in Linux itself. Every time they complain about something on Windows, I casually ask if Steam Deck does that. :)
