> There's tools like Heroic, Junk Store and Lutris that make it really really easy. The only exception is that there isn't AFAIK a way to use purchases from the Microsoft Store, but Epic, GOG, etc. are all fine assuming the game itself doesn't have some underlying issue.

But with Windows I don't need to do any of that - and that's my point. I don't need to install additional apps, configure workarounds or hacks.

I turn on my Legion Go, enter my Windows pin and then launch whatever game I want using the built in UI or Steam or Epic etc. Why would I complicate that?



Did you install Steam and Epic? It's really stupidly easy to install something like Heroic. Like the same level of difficulty as installing Epic. And it will even add games automatically to Steam for you.


My Legion Go has a unified launcher, at this point I don't even know what we're arguing about. The goal is the same, play all my games regardless of platform with minimal hassle. I don't have any issues doing this on my Legion Go with Windows. How would a Steam Deck be a net benefit?


My point is it's not difficult at all to use games from other launchers on a Steam Deck/Steam OS and you still benefit from the controller focused UI.
