Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

I feel like that's good for the wrong reasons.

I hope GN complains about how certain things that should have been fixed years ago are still broken because of bike shedding.

It is a weird decision to me though, because as much as I like Linux, the Linux desktop isn't at all a stable platform. Your experience can be vastly different depending on what distro, mesa version, display server, driver, etc you use. So in a way, I wonder if they'll bother to show "the best case scenario" or just go with what's most popular.

Hot take: If they are doing it, they should use what's most popular and if it's bad, sh!t on it, as that seems to be the only way to get long standing issues fixed...(look at pop!os and KDE as an example)

Show me a stable windows desktop.(The same applies to Windows.)

The @IceFoxX and @presi300 situation is insane
