I'll imagine that there is a rising tide of Amiga desktops then.
Sensational claims require sensational evidence.
Carl Sagan, probably
Known unknown(s) at 7.14% and rising over the Linux stat. Could these also be Linux and perhaps BSD desktops?
This makes more sense when coupled with AR glasses (Xreal, Viture, etc) especially when riding in a plane or car for a long trip. With DEX at least, your phone becomes a track pad, but without a typing device it's a bit limited. Unfortunately many android apps don't translate well to landscape mode.
In the end you are still at the mercy of their shareholders and their core mission of EEE over end-user empowerment. Every thing they build is designed with lock-in and obfuscation to protect themselves.
Sadly that's mostly true, but that may have more to do with devs lack of experience with Linux in general. Often they would have to outsource the port to Aspyr or another team.
Hmm something about this has me fantasizing about a phone sized deck. But considering Valves development of VR and this development, I think they are going to tap into the android based VR dev pool for porting titles to an official Android on Steam platform.
Oily rectal discharge anyone?
This thing is tiny and coupled with XReal or Viture glasses it makes for a very portable, very powerful (Ryzen 7 7840U with eight Zen 4 cores and an RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) game system that is much faster than many handheld systems without the weight and neck strain. In contrast, with the Steamdeck I found myself preferring a kb/mouse or pairing another controller and it was hard to find a comfortable position to play from without hooking it to a monitor.
Debian Xfce testing (Trixie) works really well though I had to install some packages such as joystick and blueman and a few steps to install Steam, the effort was well worth it. I did not want a SteamOS distro because I'd prefer Debian's package management and I like the support and versatility this distro has.
Weak points of using the XReal is that the edges are a little out of focus and one might need prescription inserts (I do not). Otherwise, they are very lightweight and I can be comfortable anywhere. They are also great for watching movies plugging into a phone that has display port capable usb-c (though I recommend a dongle that allows charging the phone while viewing). The glasses also have 3DOF that can be used to move your view (as a mouse or joystick would) while gaming but that requires a driver . Coupled with SideBySide 3D mode on the glasses and in Minetest it's very immersive!

Almost easier to set up a share or ssh on the pc and use an easily installed app like Ghost Commander to connect and transfer.
