I did test it on manjaro kde, not exactly the same, last test run seemed fine in everything but some games and having to select the game each time on obs, I was actually preferring it over x11 if not for some problems

You’re inserting blame on Wayland that wasn’t there.

I am yet to have a successful testrun of wayland, closest I’ve had was everything seemed to work fine but some games would straight up not work. I’m sure it would be just fine if I installed a distro that had it by default but at that point it’s way beyond the convenience I’ve heard so much about.

They don’t know that, if they sell cheap enough it might be worth it for a random office somewhere to order a hundred and use them as work computers with no intention to ever buy a game in them. Also they aren’t going to be locked, nothing prevents you from getting one and run games purchased in every market under the sun that isn’t steam (and/or pirated games).

I don’t think they have any certainty that they’ll even make decent money on them. I am hopeful that this will be good for everyone but can’t exactly see how at the moment.
