        I’m running Linux for my couch based gaming and the experience is awesome. Much better than Windows ever was.

        What makes you think that Linux is holding Linux back? The UI can be completely customised which makes Steam OS wonderful to use while Microsoft completely ban any customised interface out of the box.

        Windows is only popular through inertia.

          The reliance on the terminal holds Linux back.

          The second there’s a problem all the guides on how to get stuff configured or fix a problem start with… open Terminal. At that point your average user is asking for Windows.

          I say this as someone with over twenty years of experience with Linux. Users hate command line interfaces.

      Even Microsoft doesn’t seem to be actively preventing their games from running on Linux. Fuck Sweeney.

        I played Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux with no issues. But I give the laurels to Steam and Proton.

          Oh, yeah, Valve and Proton are to thank. I’m just saying Microsoft’s not blocking Proton like Epic and a few others seem to be. I can appreciate the stance of “We won’t help you, but we won’t stop you either. Good luck” that I think MS is taking with this.
