Time and again, gamers and porn drive the advancement of IT.

    I was doubtful that the Steam Deck would take off enough for game devs to even make *considerations" to think about any decisions that would improve their game's compatibility with Proton.

    Im really glad I was wrong

    Even as a decades long Linux user, I never thought it would sell like it did. And that the editors followed is even more surprising.

    I got one early on, even though I really have a hard time using a controller interface for the first time. So I end up not using it as much as I'd like.

    I built a new gaming PC almost a year ago and decided to jump into the deep end by installing only Linux. 3 reinstalls later and Linux is still the only OS installed. So far so good. :p

    Really excited to switch from Win7 for my older gaming desktop to Linux!

    Did the same when faced with the choice "Lose support, move to Win10, or jump ship entirely?" and installed Ubuntu only. It was a daunting leap for sure, but I've only looked back for one particular program that I don't actually need usually and can run inside a VM.
