Which is part of the reason I'm not giving Larian any money anymore, yes.

They completely fucked up Linux support for Divinity: Original Sin, then had it there for the Enhanced Edition, but by then they already started on Divinity: Original Sin II and didn't merge anything back. Just an utter clown car of a company.
Larian make just great games, I finished both DO:S on Linux. Some of the greatest games ever made.
One must be able to forgive and look forward.

Quoting: Guestwhat's the point of providing a windows 11 layout? Not even windows users want that. The first thing I see them doing is to try to find the setting to put it back in the corner.
Uh... Old people already accustomed to that windows if I had to find a use case.

When I "forced" my father to linux I gave him Zorin and it made the transition smoother since GUI issues are factored out. After the conversion is done it's surely possible to move on to more functional interfaces.
No one's accustomed to the w11 layout yet, though.
Linux users are ahead of the time I guess

Quoting: KristianIs there any reason this would not run or would run comparatively badly on a Steam Deck?
Not really. Considering the ongoing improvement and optimizations with emulators, the Deck will be great.

Though I don't really like the Win11 theme, this one [External Link] looks so good that I want to install openbox.

Quoting: 1xokA stupid question: If I want to play Zelda on it, where do I get the game from?
In the best case you own the game, dump it yourself (google "dump switch rom") and then enjoy it on a much better quality in 4K on TV on your PC.
