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.

I say this as someone with over twenty years of experience with Linux. Users hate command line interfaces.
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.
Fuck Tim Sweeney with a linux powered dildo.
He is the reason linux gaming is being held back.

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.
