That is not even remotely normal.
Normal enough I deal with it on 2 separate machines. One new and store bought, unmolested by IT lockdown bs, and the other I built and use really just for gaming. Idk man. I just feel like Windows has gotten worse and worse and I’m thinking of hopping back to Linux now that gaming is more accessible on it thanks to Proton, but I can’t completely get away from windows.
From my experience with the Steam Deck, gaming on Linux is more feasible than ever, but still far worse than on Windows, especially any time a game refuses to work. Don't get me wrong, it's a neat, even great device, but the OS is by far its biggest weakness, despite Valve's efforts to hide it as much from the user as possible and address its issues.
The OS is the biggest strength of the steam deck, and it's a big part of why it's by far the best gaming handheld.
