And it just works without any tinkering. Maybe that part is more important than the choice of DE.

I'm partial to KDE myself, but honestly anything with a sensible panel is usable.

Yes. It'samazing how much better Linux runs when the hardware vendor actually supports Linux.

It also helps that the Steam Deck has a narrower Mission than a desktop computer.

I’m the same! I’ve never understood how people have such strong emotions when it comes to a desktop environment. They all (including Windows, macOS, and even iPadOS) feel like they are good enough to me and I enjoy switching to something different once in a while.
