I won't consider these new devices because they don't have touch pads, but if inwas gifted one or had a friend that had one I would definitely recommend Bazzite if they don't play many multiplayer titles.
Great to see it taking off.
I think if you cut the player base roughly in half, the players that care for multiplayer titles which don't work on Linux (yet) are also the ones not caring as much about touchpads; while the other half are a different kind of gamer who appreciates or even needs them.
I totally agree. I want the touch pads so I can play old games that were designed for a keyboard and mouse or a shooter that works better with them. Younger gamers aren't going to want to tinker getting an old game to run and are likely to have been brought up on a controller and don't see it as a hinderance.
That's why I love the Steam Deck, it was built for all the nerds out there and it's fabulous.

Maybe we're talking about different things... but, there is a touchpad on my Legion Go?
There is but only on one side and, while I've not personally used it, the size and placement seem to make it more of a cursor aid than something that can be used well in games.
I've not tried to use it in games, but given the "scroll, lift, reset... scroll, lift, reset" x50 it takes to get across the Windows desktop, I would agree.
It does have "FPS mode", which basically turns the right controller into a vertical mouse. I haven't used that for basically anything either, but I've read rave reviews from some FPS players!
