Yes you are right, DE has nothing to do with writing actual code to run programms (ie games)

My point was more into the direction, that Linux, for me personally, and only as primary OS, loses in two directions:
- UI (I remember trying changing DE, and it didn't go well, don't remember why exactly)
- Lack of games (which is kinda chicken and egg situation)

As OS to run servers - 100% my choice - super stable, well documented, easy to approach and use, almost all developing related stuff is built for linux

&gt;Lack of games (which is kinda chicken and egg situation)

Closed-source software on Linux is rough, especially with old unsupported software. I remember in the 00s trying to run some games I had on disc and ran into lib dependency errors. Lib dependencies of abandoned libraries that would not compile under current versions of their own dependencies or they were dynamically linked and trying to import functions that no longer existed in current libraries.

On the Deck there's been a handful of games I've had to manually flip to the Windows build to play (it downloads Linux natives by default where available).
