I don’t have a portable running SteamOS, but I still benefit. In the last few years support has gotten to the point that I forget to check ProtonDB before buying a game and, at least so far, it hasn’t bitten me in the butt.
Helps that I don’t play anything that runs anticheat, though.
I’m in the same boat. Just buy games. Don’t care if it’s supported by Proton. If it’s not now, it will be soon. That’s how I feel. So far, everything I’ve bought has worked flawlessly.
It still provides the best experience in that market. The steam deck is what gave me the confidence to move my desktop from Windows to Linux, which I am still on.
Mine still sees regular use after 2.5 years.
Same. I’ve got mine docked to my living room TV with wireless controllers and a wireless mouse on it. We play coop games like Tetris, Diner Bros, What the Golf?, and Brawlhalla.
