Oh well, Windows has become that one OS I use for one or two things that I complain every time I have to spin up my VM to use.

I only use it to play games, mainly a heavily modded Skyrim. It's just too much of a pain in the ass to get MO2 to launch the Linux version of Steam so that I can use Proton to launch SKSE. I finally managed to get it to work once and was getting at 15 FPS on my RTX 3070.

I play modded skyrim (700+ mods) with my steam deck, runs great

I'm gonna guess you're not using MO2 though, that's the biggest headache, along with using tools like Nemesis, Xedit, Synthesis and Dyndolod.

I love the steam deck, but 25FPS isn’t great

It's more than playable imo, tiny screen, sitting on the couch... the switch can't even achieve a solid 30 fps on exclusive titles... I've played games with worse framerates on the deck

700 mods Skyrim plays worse than fuckin TotK on a switch

I say this as a person who only played TotK on a computer.
