    Gosh I wonder if it is to do with the fact that I can (and do) run steam on a €250 second hand pc running mint

      More importantly, the entire software (shops, operating system) and hardware are not a locked down platform and controlled by a single company. And the Steam prices (one word: sales) and rights (refund policy, games never get rewoked) are the best among the industry.

          What exactly do you mean people don’t care about? I mean which part of my reply, as I brought up multiple points. I think people care about all points I brought up.

              How do you come to this conclusion that nobody would care? About game prices and refund policy? I’m baffled.

                  What choices do you mean? Steam is the defacto standard on PC. Also just because most people use something (like Windows as operating system), does not mean they don’t care or get annoyed by Windows. Just for the analogy. Millions of people care about the points I listed. And you can see it in forums and social media or YouTube video creators too, if you don’t believe me.

                  You are not very specific about what you think. It is hard to understand about what exactly you talk. What choices, which people?

      Mint is cool, but have you tried Bazzite? I just switched a while back and it’s been a pretty solid gaming experience.
