Linux keeps winning by doing nothing.

Yep, I will switch to Linux before I get another OS from Microsoft. Once 10 goes away, I jump onto a Linux distribution and use Proton.

I was hoping for a Steam Created distribution to come out, but I've been waiting for that for years. I'm just too lazy to switch over before I have to.

Same here. There's nothing tying me to Windows other than that's what I already have installed. Microsoft already announced a forced upgrade to Windows 11 next year. If I'm being forced to change my OS anyways I'm going to pick a Linux distro.

I just installed Manjaro and it just worked with minimal issues. The issues that did come up, were easily fixed with building apps. If you aren't an IT professional or up for tweaking things around there are easier distros, but I was surprised how much it was plug and play with gaming
