    You are incorrect, it is 100% a linux issue: Steam Deck runs Steam OS, which is an Arch linux flavor.

      The virtual keyboard isn’t used while gaming in regular desktop Linux. That is a steam issue, specifically a steamdeck issue since a regular desktop would use the physical keyboard to type in Skyrim.

      I know about the OS the deck is running and that it’s an arch form, but it’s not a Linux issue, it’s a steam deck issue since non steamdeck desktop Linux pcs don’t have that issue because they use a physical keyboard.

      What you are saying is like me saying that the inability to read Chinese is a human issue because I can’t read it and in human. Naaah.

      That’s like pointing at an Android-based smart fridge, saying it doesn’t run Skyrim, and saying it’s a Linux issue, because android is based on Linux.

              Your uneducated made-up definitions of what is Linux kernel or not don’t change reality

                Then show me Arch or Debian booting with the Android kernel if you think so much that its still a Linux kernel. Don’t worry, I’ll wait

                  Keep waiting, I won’t indulge for your imaginary definition. The Linux kernel is not defined by whether or not it can run desktop or server distributions.

                    Android is not Linux, its an OS with its own kernel. You cant define it because I dont think you even know what you are talking about.

      Try pulling up the virtual keyboard in Windows while playing Skyrim. I’d be surprised if the results were helpful.

      That doesn’t make it a Linux issue. It’s an issue with some component that is in a Linux distribution, but it probably has nothing to do with the Linux operating system. It sounds like it’s specifically some component of the Deck at fault, not a part of Linux.
