Has Steam Deck done good for the rest of the linux community? (self.linux_gaming)

I was wondering if steam deck's existence made linux gaming better for you folks who do not have a deck yet game on a linux machine, as im afraid it did nothing for me at all. I'm trying to see if its failure to influence my side of linux gaming is purely anecdotal.

Thanks!

I think yes but also it's a little bit early to clearly see an improvement.

I hope the steam deck brings Linux gaming more into mainstream and shows that gaming isn't a no go anymore.

So in the long run hardware companies (aspecially headset, gaming mouse and keyboard) would provide Linux support. So for example we wouldn't need a windows PC to update are headset because otherwise the mute button wouldn't work.
