    I don’t get why the reviews complains about Linux on the Deck - why are they even touching the OS? It’s not needed at all for most cases.

      Familiarity.

      If an alternative isn’t 100% identical to a tool one is used to, one automatically has reservations, and the slightest inconvenience immediately turns into a blocking issue. On the other hand, one is typically inclined to ignore problems with tools one is used to.

      There isn’t much one can do about this, other than trying to keep an open mind, and being aware of that bias.

      Yeah, a lot of this stuff is pretty obvious.

      This kind of article is good for general people to see though, because a lot of people who haven’t used the deck assume higher resolution screen is better and windows will be better than Linux.
