You get used to having a long drive to work as well. But who wants to get used to that if you don't have to. Same reasoning applies here. SteamOS is so, so good. Why would I want to switch to something with performance leaks? To play competitive FPS games on my handheld? That's not why I have one (plus I could get windows on an external sd if I really wanted to).

I'm close to making a full on swap from windows to Linux. I just need to research in home game streaming first since I often sit on my laptop downstairs playing a game that runs on my gaming pc through Parsec.
