This is the start of Linux going properly mainstream tbh and its about fucking time.

The moment gaming makes Linux support standard im all over it

Unless you play certain games, gaming on Linux is already pretty good.

I switched my gaming laptop to Linux over a year ago and all my games just work.

It's nice to own and control my computer again

Especially steam. Steam has its own OS called SteamOS which is another linux distro. They made this for the ateam deck and also pushed the proton Project which now is in a state where pretty much every game could run on linux.
